The present embodiment provides a method for manufacturing a photodetector, including the steps of:
providing a first semiconductor substrate;
forming a detection layer on the upper surface of the first semiconductor substrate by adopting a bonding process;
etching the detection layer to expose part of the upper surface of the first semiconductor substrate;
and forming a dielectric layer on the part of the upper surface of the first semiconductor substrate and the upper surface of the detection layer.
Specifically, the first semiconductor substrate may be a Silicon substrate, or may be an SOI (Silicon On Insulator) substrate. When the first semiconductor substrate is an SOI substrate, the photodetector may be integrated with a waveguide device. In this embodiment, the first semiconductor substrate is an SOI substrate as an example. As shown in fig. 1, the SOI substrate includes a first silicon substrate 11, a buried oxide layer 12, and a top silicon layer 13, which are stacked in this order from bottom to top. There may be a variety of methods for forming the SOI substrate, and in an alternative implementation, the SOI substrate may be formed using a separation by implantation of oxygen technique (SIMOX), namely: providing a third semiconductor substrate; and implanting oxygen ions into the third semiconductor substrate. The buried oxide layer 12 is formed by implanting oxygen ions into the third semiconductor substrate, the third semiconductor substrate is divided into an upper part and a lower part by the buried oxide layer 12, the part below the buried oxide layer 12 is the first silicon substrate 11, and the part above the buried oxide layer 12 is the top silicon layer 13. In a specific embodiment, the oxygen buried layer 12 is formed in silicon by high-energy and large-dose oxygen injection, and the dose of the oxygen ions can be 3 x 1017-2 x 1018cm < -2 >; the energy may be around 200 kev. In another alternative implementation, the SOI substrate may BE formed using a bonding thinning technique (BE), that is: providing a fourth semiconductor substrate, and forming a first oxidation layer on the fourth semiconductor substrate; providing a fifth semiconductor substrate, and forming a second oxide layer on the fifth semiconductor substrate; and connecting the first oxide layer and the second oxide layer in a bonding mode. The first oxide layer and the second oxide layer are connected to serve as the buried oxide layer 12, the fourth semiconductor substrate serves as the silicon substrate 11, and the fifth semiconductor substrate serves as the top silicon layer 13. In the embodiment, the material of the buried oxide layer 12 is silicon dioxide, and the thickness of the buried oxide layer 12 is 2 to 3 micrometers; the material of the top silicon layer 13 is silicon, and the thickness of the top silicon layer 13 is 200 nm to 240 nm.
As shown in fig. 2, in an alternative implementation manner, after the first semiconductor substrate is provided, doping treatment may be performed on the top silicon layer 13 to form an intrinsic region I, an N-type lightly doped region N + located at one side of the intrinsic region I, a P-type lightly doped region P + located at the other side of the intrinsic region, an N-type heavily doped region N + + located at one side of the N-type lightly doped region away from the intrinsic region, and a P-type heavily doped region P + +, located at one side of the P-type lightly doped region away from the intrinsic region, in the top silicon layer 13. The intrinsic region I is an undoped region, and the width of the intrinsic region I, i.e., the distance between the N + type lightly doped region and the P + type lightly doped region, may be 100 nm to 400 nm; the N-type impurity in the N-type lightly doped region N + and the N-type heavily doped region N + + may be phosphorus, the doping concentration of the N + in the N-type lightly doped region may be 1E +19 to 5E +20cm "3, and the doping concentration of the N + + in the N-type heavily doped region may be 1E +20 to 1E +21 cm" 3; the P-type impurity in the P-type lightly doped region P + and the P-type heavily doped region P + + may be boron, the doping concentration of the P-type lightly doped region P + may be 1E +19 to 5E +20cm "3, and the doping concentration of the P-type heavily doped region P + + may be 1E +20 to 1E +21 cm" 3. In another alternative implementation manner, after the first semiconductor substrate is provided, a detection layer is formed on the upper surface of the first semiconductor substrate by directly using a bonding process, and the doping treatment is performed on the top silicon layer before the dielectric layer is formed.
As shown in fig. 3, a second semiconductor substrate 14 is provided, and the detection layer 15 is grown on the upper surface of the second semiconductor substrate 14. In this embodiment, the probe layer 15 is grown on the upper surface of the second semiconductor substrate 14 by a sample epitaxial growth process. The second semiconductor substrate 14 is a second silicon substrate, the detection layer 15 is made of germanium or silicon-germanium, and the thickness of the detection layer 15 is 1 micrometer to 4 micrometers.
As shown in fig. 4, the probe layer 15 and the first semiconductor substrate are connected by a bonding process, i.e. the probe layer 15 and the top silicon layer 13 are connected by a bonding process.
As shown in fig. 5, since the probe layer 15 is epitaxially grown at a low temperature and then at a high temperature, the probe layer grown at a low temperature has a large number of defects and the probe layer grown at a high temperature has a small number of defects, so that after the probe layer 15 and the top silicon layer 13 are connected, the probe layer near the top silicon layer 13 has a small number of defects and the probe layer near the second semiconductor substrate 14 has a large number of defects.
As shown in fig. 6, the second semiconductor substrate 14 may be removed using an etching process, a chemical mechanical polishing process, or a lift-off process.
As shown in fig. 7, the detection layer 15 may be etched by a dry etching process to expose the portion of the upper surface of the first semiconductor substrate, i.e., to expose the portion of the upper surface of the top silicon layer 13.
As shown in fig. 8, a chemical vapor deposition process may be used to form the dielectric layer 16 on the portion of the upper surface of the first semiconductor substrate and the upper surface of the detection layer 15. In this embodiment, the dielectric layer 16 is made of silicon dioxide, and the thickness of the dielectric layer 16 on the first semiconductor substrate is 1.2 to 5 micrometers.
Further, in order to form a complete photodetector, after forming the dielectric layer 16 on the portion of the upper surface of the first semiconductor substrate and the upper surface of the detection layer 16, the method further includes:
forming a first through hole and a second through hole which penetrate through the dielectric layer, wherein the lower bottom surface of the first through hole is abutted with the N-type heavily doped region, and the lower bottom surface of the second through hole is abutted with the P-type heavily doped region;
filling a conductive material into the first through hole and the second through hole to form a first conductive plug and a second conductive plug;
and depositing a metal film on the upper surfaces of the first conductive plug and the second conductive plug to form a first contact electrode and a second contact electrode.
As shown in fig. 9, the dielectric layer 16 is etched to form the first via 211 and the second via 212. The lower bottom surface of the first through hole 211 abuts against the N-type heavily doped region N + +, and the lower bottom surface of the second through hole 212 abuts against the P-type heavily doped region P + +.
As shown in fig. 10, a conductive material is filled into the first via 211 to form the first conductive plug 221; the second via 212 is filled with a conductive material to form the second conductive plug 222. In an alternative implementation manner, before filling the first through hole 211 and the second through hole 212 with the conductive material, an adhesion material and a barrier material may be further disposed on inner walls of the first through hole 211 and the second through hole 212, and an adhesion layer and a barrier layer are formed on the inner walls of the first through hole 211 and the second through hole 212 to prevent the subsequently filled conductive material from diffusing into the dielectric layer.
It should be noted that the shapes of the first through hole 211 and the second through hole 212 may be any shapes that can be manufactured by a manufacturing method, such as a circular through hole or a square through hole, and the manufacturing process of these through holes is simple; the material of the first conductive plug 221 and the second conductive plug 222 may be any conductive material, such as low resistivity materials like aluminum copper alloy, tungsten, and copper; the material of the adhesion layer can be titanium and the like, and the material of the barrier layer can be titanium nitride and the like.
As shown in fig. 11, a physical vapor deposition process may be used to deposit a metal film on the upper surface of the first conductive plug 221 to form the first contact electrode 231; a metal film is deposited on the upper surface of the second conductive plug 222 to form the second contact electrode 232. As a specific embodiment, the material of the first contact electrode 231 and the second contact electrode 232 may be pure aluminum, aluminum copper alloy, aluminum silicon, or aluminum silicon copper, and the thickness of the first contact electrode 231 and the second contact electrode 232 is 200 nanometers to 3 micrometers. If the material of the first contact electrode 231 and the second contact electrode 232 is an aluminum copper alloy, the copper content may be 0.5%; if the material of the first contact electrode 231 and the second contact electrode 232 is aluminum silicon, the content of silicon may be 1%; if the material of the first contact electrode 231 and the second contact electrode 232 is al-si-cu, the si content may be 0.5% and the cu content may be 0.5%.
It should be noted that, in the manufacturing process of this embodiment, the manufacturing process includes a manufacturing process of the photodetector, and when the photodetector is integrated in the optoelectronic integrated chip, the manufacturing process is only a partial manufacturing process of the integrated chip, and the partial manufacturing process does not conflict with a manufacturing process of other devices.
