Description

Infrared double-color detector during a kind of Si bases three-dimensional Ge quantum dot crystal photovoltaics type is near
Technical field
The invention belongs to semiconductor infrared detection material and devices field, more particularly to a kind of Si bases three-dimensional Ge quantum dots are brilliant Infrared double-color detector during body photovoltaic type is near.
Background technology
Because earth atmosphere environment has specific strong absorption bands to infrared ray, therefore only wavelength is in 1-2.5 μm, 3- Infra-red radiation between 5 μm and 8-14 μm of three wave bands could effectively be transmitted and detected in atmospheric environment.These three ripples Section namely so-called near-infrared, in infrared and three atmospheric windows of far infrared.Traditional Infrared Detectors, such as short-wave infrared InGaAs, medium-wave infrared InSb, LONG WAVE INFRARED HgCdTe etc., although can be by being prepared into PIN photovoltaic types, guide type and snowslide The structures such as type provide enhanced detectivity, but the detection optical band of its each detector can only all cover one respectively Infrared atmospheric window mouthful, that is, belong to monochromatic Infrared Detectors.And Two-color Infrared Detectors, refer to a class its detection wavelength can be simultaneously Covering two infrared photoelectric detectors of infrared window, can synchronous acquisition target in two spectral informations of infrared band.It is aobvious And be clear to, double-color detector measurement more than monochromatic probe device is measured.In infrared imaging application, double color focus plane is visited Surveying device can simultaneously obtain target in two images of infrared band, on the one hand can provide the target information of more horn of plenty, separately On the one hand can effectively reduce because detector mismatches the failure detection probability for causing with target emanation wave band to be measured.Especially In the military target field of detecting such as Aero-Space, the double-colored information of Infrared Targets acquired in Two-color Infrared Detectors is multiple to realizing The applications such as the background suppression in heterocycle border, the false interference signal of exclusion and target identification differentiation have significant advantage.
Current existing infrared double-color detector mainly has two classes, and a class is encapsulated simultaneously by an encapsulating structure Two kinds of sensitive detection parts of infrared band, and be coupled by optical texture, realize the dual-color detection to target.Its essence is Two kinds of assembled packages of detector, such as shortwave/medium wave Si/PbSe photovoltaics of Song Bin electronics corporations of Japan (Hamamatsu, Inc.) Type Two-color Infrared Detectors (0.2-4.8 μm), the infrared company of American Association (InfraRed Associates, Inc.) medium wave/ Long wave InSb/HgCdTe photovoltaic type double-color detectors etc..It is another kind of, be developed based on new material and new device structure Realized to two kinds of photoresponses of infrared band, such as shortwave/medium wave that Chinese Academy of Sciences's Shanghai skill thing is developed simultaneously in one photosensitive unit HgCdTe photovoltaic types infrared double-color detector (1.3-5.7 μm), the shortwave/shortwave extension InGaAs of Song Bin electronics corporations of Japan Photovoltaic type double-color detector (0.9-2.5 μm) etc..IRDS generally needs to carry out light-sensitive element and reading circuit Match somebody with somebody, to extract effective signal and be processed.Above-mentioned first kind assembled package type double-color detector is usual in signal-obtaining By the way of sequentially reading, the transfer process of the infrared electro signal of two wave bands must rotation carry out;And Equations of The Second Kind monochromatic light is quick First type double-color detector can then be carried out in the way of synchronously reading, i.e. the conversion of the infrared electro signal of two wave bands can enter simultaneously OK, can really ensure that the signal of two wave bands does not have the time difference, is truly realized synchronization.Therefore the quick first type dual-color detection of monochromatic light is developed Device is more beneficial for the Effect on Detecting of raising system.
The Two-color Infrared Detectors product of current main flow is using III-V compound semiconductor material or using Si knots Close III-V group semi-conductor material be made, although device have high-quantum efficiency and highly sensitive advantage, there is also material into The deficiencies such as this height, preparation difficulty.Additionally, almost all of infrared focal plane read-out circuit is Si base integrated circuits at present, and The photosensitive unit of iii-v cannot directly be carried out with Si it is integrated on piece, therefore need to using indium bump bonding encapsulation etc. technology by photosensitive unit with Si reading circuits carry out coupling and could realize imaging applications.It can be seen that, if can develop using Si in itself or with Si material technologies On the one hand the compatible photosensitive unit of infrared double-color detector, then can utilize the ripe advantage of Si material storages high technology, significantly drop The manufacturing cost of low detector.The opposing party is then due to the inherent advantage compatible with Si reading circuits, can really realize piece Upper integrated high uniformity large area focal plane arrays (FPA).Additionally, overwhelming majority III-V and II-VI group detector generally have height Dark current so that coordinate refrigeration part could work, and Si bases detector generally have low-dark current, can working and room temperature Advantage, reduce to the demand of refrigeration part.Therefore, Si bases Two-color Infrared Detectors will have wide in infrared electronic technology field General application prospect.

(1) the double-colored light absorbs of nearly middle-infrared band of three-dimensional Ge quantum dot crystal
Quantum dot is a kind of nanometer semiconductor structure of zero dimension, and the wave function motion in its internal electron and hole is in three-dimensional space Between on be bound in several nanometers in the range of tens nanometer yardstick.According to Schrodinger equation, the energy of its internal carrier will Quantization is presented, i.e., the inside of single quantum dot will appear from discrete energy levels, as shown in fig. 1 on the left-hand side.And quantum dot crystal, then it is one The concept of individual complete same multi layered quantum dots assemblage.Forming three-dimensional quantum point crystal needs to meet following 4 conditions simultaneously:(i) quantum Point periodicity ordered arrangement on space three-dimensional direction;(ii) component of each quantum dot, pattern are identical;(iii) measure Sub- spot size is sufficiently small to form discrete quantized level to guarantee;(iv) adjacent quantum dot spacing is near enough, in three-dimensional side There is the strong overlapping of current-carrying wavelet function upwards, form three-dimensional forceful electric power or hole state coupling.4 bars only meet simultaneously more than The quantum dot ensemble of part can just be referred to as three-dimensional quantum point crystal.In quantum dot crystal, due between adjacent quantum dot away from Close to enough, the current-carrying wavelet function inside respective quantum dot is strapped in originally the effect of localization will occurs, and be formed The energy level of total extension.Atomic energy level communization that this characteristic can be analogous in solid atomic crystal and formed can band it is general Read.This energy level communization in quantum dot crystal will ultimately form the new band structure with certain Energy Broadening, that is, carry Sub- micro-strip (miniband) is flowed, as shown in Fig. 1 right sides.Micro-strip is formed such that the physical property and discrete nothing of quantum dot crystal Coupling quantum spot system has dramatically different.Micro-strip has the dispersion relation and density-of-states distribution dramatically different with body materials band. There is a maximum for the density of states in each micro-strip, i.e., in the presence of an energy state for the high density of states, can fill Quantity exceeds well over the carrier of body material energy level.This is close with body material or the discrete Delta function kenels without coupling quantum spot Degree is distributed with fundamental difference.Additionally, the formation of micro-strip, will significantly increase the band-to-band transition of the micro-strip correlation in quantum dot crystal The intensity of (T1 in Fig. 1) or sub- intraband transition (T2 in Fig. 1) oscillator, significantly improves the light absorbs system corresponding to these energy level transitions Number, therefore have important application value in photodetection field.
Si bases three-dimensional Ge quantum dot crystal, is a kind of three-dimensional Ge quantum dot ensembles for meeting said structure characteristic.Ge is measured Sub Si layers put more than top and below bottom is due to the presence of strain so that the conduction band sixfold degeneracy energy valley of Si is cleaved, Double degenerate energy valley Δ (2) with more low energy is generated, thus electronics is mainly tied to Ge quantum dots summit and bottom In neighbouring Si layers, and hole is then mainly tied in Ge quantum dots, so as to form II- type band structures.Its band offsets Valence band, about 600meV are primarily present in, much larger than its conduction band band rank.Typical Si base compressive strain Ge quantum dot sizes are 10- high 20nm, 40-80nm wide, are presented pyramid shape or dome-like.In three-dimensional Ge quantum dots crystal, the base of main generation electronics The excitation state micro-strip of the ground state micro-strip and hole in state micro-strip and hole, the energy band diagram on the right side of Fig. 1 is illustrated.Its electron hole base Light absorbs energy about 0.8eV or so produced by the band-to-band transition T1 of state micro-strip, corresponding peak absorbtivity wavelength is on 1.5 μm of left sides The right side, produces near infrared band light absorbs.Produced by its hole ground state micro-strip to the sub- intraband transition T2 between excitation state micro-strip Light absorbs energy about 0.35eV or so, corresponding peak wavelength produces middle-infrared band light absorbs at 3.5 μm or so.Due to this Two kinds of transition are all the optical transition between micro-strip, can greatly promote the intensity of transition oscillator and then lift the absorption coefficient of light so that It can be used for photodetector, and simultaneously in near-infrared and the sensitive photoresponse of middle-infrared band generation.
