Description

PIIN型高In组分InGaAs探测器材料结构和制备方法
技术领域
本发明属于半导体光电子器件领域,特别涉及一种PIIN型高In组分InGaAs探测器材料结构和制备方法。
背景技术
与InP衬底晶格匹配的In0.53Ga0.47As三元系材料具有直接带隙和高电子迁移率的特点,其室温下的禁带宽度约0.75eV,对应的波长约1.7微米,恰好可以覆盖光纤通信波段,因此采用In0.53Ga0.47As三元系材料制作的光电探测器在光通信领域获得了普遍应用,并且在遥感、传感和成像等方面也有重要用途。在遥感领域,截止波长大于1.7微米的探测器有着更广泛的用途,能反应更多的信息。比如,2.1微米附近的探测在冰云检测和矿产资源探测方面均有重要价值,所以在气象、环境、资源等航天遥感领域具有重要的应用。通过增加InxGa1-xAs三元系材料中Ⅲ族元素In元素的组分x可以减小InGaAs材料的禁带宽度,从而增加InGaAs探测器的截止波长。比如,x=0.7时,InGaAs探测器的截止波长就能达到约2.2微米。但是,In组分的增加会造成InGaAs材料与InP衬底不再晶格匹配,从而在材料中引入位错,造成材料和器件性能变差。通过在InP衬底和InGaAs吸收层之间插入缓冲层,可以将位错主要限制在缓冲层中,减少InGaAs吸收层中的位错,提高In组分InGaAs探测器的性能,已经获得了一些进展。
为了减少衬底与吸收层之间的晶格失配带来的位错缺陷,目前主要采用在两层间插入组分渐变(或跃变)的缓冲层的方法。采用该技术可以有效抑制位错,改善吸收层的质量,从而使探测器性能得到改善。InAlAs材料与InGaAs材料十分相似,具有增加In的组分值则其晶格常数相应增加并保持直接带隙的特点。InAlAs材料对于所探测的光波长透明,有助于提高量子效率,同时也有利于减小表面复合,改善暗电流特性。因此采用宽禁带InAlAs材料作为帽层。
传统上,高In组分InGaAs探测材料的pn结界面位于InAlAs和InGaAs的异质界面或InGaAs层内。注意到pn结所处的材料禁带宽度越大,相应的探测器产生-复合暗电流越小,而光电流也会相应减小,所以对不同的探测器需要综合考虑,优化设计相应的探测器结构。
