Step 2: selective removal part wall 41 and light absorbing layer 50, the part of removal are passive waveguide regions w, are protected The part stayed is uptake zone a;
Step 3: the large area deposition on the light absorbing layer 50 in the light collection layer 40 and uptake zone a in passive waveguide region w InP coating 60;
Step 4: InGaAs contact layer 70 is made on InP coating 60
Step 5: medium exposure mask 71 is made on the InP contact layer 70 in passive waveguide region w.Large area deposition medium exposure mask 71, it is SiO2Or SiNx, medium exposure mask in a of selective removal detector area only has Jie in the passive waveguide region w of device Matter exposure mask 71 covers;
Step 6: in the way of diffusing, doping to light absorbing layer 50, coating 60 and the contact layer 70 above a of uptake zone into Row doping.By entire device as MOCVD reaction chamber among, kept the temperature under Zn organic source atmosphere, by control Zn organic source it is dense Degree, holding temperature and time make Zn elements diffusion enter InGaAs contact 70, InP covering 60 and InGaAs light absorbing layer layer by layer 50, and the doping concentration of Zn is gradually decreased from InP coating 60 to InP light collection layer 40 in InGaAs light absorbing layer 50.Zn P-type contact material of the p-type InGaAs contact layer 70 of doping as detector.In this detector, InGaAs light absorbing layer 50 P-type Dopings, photohole fast relaxation (not influencing detector response speed) in absorbing layer material, light induced electron expand It is dissipated to 40 boundary of InP light collection layer, rapid drift under the action of device built in field forms so-called uniline carrier detection Device.It is transported due to only having light induced electron in device, uniline carrier detector has high speed, high saturation output electric current and low work The characteristic of voltage.The gradual change of Zn doping concentration introduces additional electric field in absorbed layer in detector absorbed layer, can accelerate light Raw electronics transports, and is conducive to the responsive bandwidth for increasing device.Due to the passive waveguide region w of device during above-mentioned diffusing, doping Inside there is the covering of medium exposure mask 71, Zn element cannot diffuse to coating semiconductor material, therefore as passive wave guide top covering Covering layer material non-impurity-doped advantageously reduces the optical transmission loss of passive wave guide.
