Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments.
Various schematic diagrams of embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings, which are not drawn to scale. Wherein certain details are exaggerated and possibly omitted for clarity of understanding. The shapes of various regions, layers, and relative sizes and positional relationships therebetween shown in the drawings are merely exemplary, and deviations may occur in practice due to manufacturing tolerances or technical limitations, and a person skilled in the art may additionally design regions/layers having different shapes, sizes, relative positions, as actually required.
In the following, the terms "first", "second", etc. are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first," "second," etc. may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of the present application, "a plurality" means two or more unless otherwise specified.
In addition, in the present invention, directional terms such as "upper" and "lower" are defined with respect to a schematically placed orientation of components in the drawings, and it is to be understood that these directional terms are relative concepts, which are used for relative description and clarification, and may be changed accordingly according to the change of the orientation in which the components are placed in the drawings.
In the present invention, unless expressly stated or limited otherwise, the term "coupled" is to be interpreted broadly, e.g., "coupled" may be fixedly coupled, detachably coupled, or integrally formed; may be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate.
The detector is an instrument for converting measured information into electric signals, and can convert the measured information into electric signals according to a certain rule and output the electric signals so as to meet the requirements of information transmission, processing, storage, display, recording, control and the like.
The basic structure of the detector will be described below by taking a quantum dot photodetector as an example. It is to be understood that the following description is intended to be illustrative, and not restrictive.
Fig. 1 is a block diagram of a typical conventional photodetector. As shown in fig. 1, the photodetector includes a lower electrode layer 10 and an upper electrode layer 11, and a photoelectric conversion functional layer 12 located between the lower electrode layer 10 and the upper electrode layer 11. In order to facilitate the extraction of electrical signals, it is necessary to form an upper electrode lead layer 13 and a lower electrode lead layer 14 on the upper electrode layer 11 and the lower electrode layer 10, respectively. In order to ensure self-alignment and natural isolation of the upper electrode lead layer 13 and the lower electrode lead layer 14, patterning and etching processes are required, and there is a problem in that the processes are complicated.
In view of the above technical problems, embodiments of the present invention provide a diode. The diode can be applied to any one of a photodetector, a chemical detector and the like, and is not particularly limited herein.
Fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a diode according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 2, the diode comprises a first electrode layer 20, a second electrode layer 21 and a stack of quantum dots 22 between the first electrode layer 20 and the second electrode layer 21. The orthographic projection of the second electrode layer 21 on the layer of the first electrode layer 20 covers the orthographic projection of the quantum dot lamination 22 on the layer of the first electrode layer 20.
As shown in fig. 2, since the orthogonal projection of the second electrode layer 21 on the layer of the first electrode layer 20 covers the orthogonal projection of the quantum dot stack 22 on the layer of the first electrode layer 20, the diode formed by the second electrode layer 21, the quantum dot stack 22 and the first electrode layer 20 has a T-shaped or i-shaped structure in the front view direction. Therefore, when forming the second electrode lead layer in ohmic contact with the second electrode layer 21 and forming the first electrode lead layer in ohmic contact with the first electrode layer 20, the second electrode layer 21 can serve as a barrier layer to prevent the formation of the electrode lead layer on the sidewall of the quantum dot stack 22 between the first electrode layer 20 and the second electrode layer 21, and finally prevent the contact between the second electrode lead layer and the first electrode lead layer. And the second electrode layer 21 can be used as a patterning mask, and the end surfaces of the second electrode lead layer and the first electrode lead layer are both terminated at the end surface of the second electrode layer 21, i.e. the second electrode lead layer and the first electrode lead layer can be self-aligned under the action of the second electrode layer 21. Compared with the prior art, the first electrode lead layer and the second electrode lead layer can be formed in a self-aligned mode, and natural isolation can be achieved between the first electrode lead layer and the second electrode lead layer without other processes, so that the forming process of the first electrode lead layer and the second electrode lead layer is effectively simplified. In addition, the naturally-isolated first electrode lead layer and the second electrode lead layer can also improve the output performance of the signal, and when the diode is applied to a detector, the signal output performance of the detector can also be improved.
Compared with the prior art, when the diode is applied to a photodetector, the quantum dot stack 22 can convert light energy into electric energy under the condition that light is incident on the photodetector, so that the detector provided by the embodiment of the invention has lower driving voltage and faster response speed.
The materials of the first electrode layer 20 and the second electrode layer 21 may be the same or different. Illustratively, the first electrode layer 20 and the second electrode layer 21 may be a silicon-based semiconductor material, a germanium-based semiconductor material, or a quantum dot material. Also, when the first electrode layer 20 is a P-type electrode layer, the second electrode layer 21 should be an N-type electrode layer. When the first electrode layer 20 is an N-type electrode layer, the second electrode layer 21 should be a P-type electrode layer. The first electrode layer 20 and the second electrode layer 21 are heavily doped to improve the output performance of the electrical signal.
As for the material of the quantum dot stack 22, it may be any material as long as it has a function of converting energy of other forms into electric energy. For example: when the first electrode layer 20 and the second electrode layer 21 are made of silicon-based semiconductor materials, the quantum dot stack 22 may be a stack of any one of germanium-silicon quantum dots, germanium quantum dots, cadmium sulfide quantum dots, cadmium selenide quantum dots, cadmium telluride quantum dots, zinc selenide quantum dots, lead sulfide quantum dots, lead selenide quantum dots, indium phosphide quantum dots, and indium arsenide quantum dots, or a stack of multiple materials. Another example is: when the first electrode layer 20 and the second electrode layer 21 are made of germanium-based semiconductor materials, the quantum dot stack 22 may be a stack of any one of germanium-silicon quantum dots, cadmium sulfide quantum dots, cadmium selenide quantum dots, cadmium telluride quantum dots, zinc selenide quantum dots, lead sulfide quantum dots, lead selenide quantum dots, indium phosphide quantum dots, and indium arsenide quantum dots, or a stack of multiple materials.
As a possible implementation, an orthographic projection of the second electrode layer 21 at the level of the first electrode layer 20 covers the first electrode layer 20. It is not limited to that the first electrode layer 20 is located in the orthogonal projection of the second electrode layer 21 on the layer of the first electrode layer 20, or the orthogonal projections of the first electrode layer 20 and the second electrode layer 21 on the layer of the first electrode layer 20 are completely overlapped.
When the orthographic projections of the first electrode layer 20 and the second electrode layer 21 on the layer surface of the first electrode layer 20 are completely overlapped, the second electrode layer 21 can ensure that the first electrode layer lead layer is just formed on one side of the first electrode layer 20, and can form good ohmic contact with the first electrode layer 20, so that the output performance of the electrical signal of the diode can be improved. In addition, since the orthographic projections of the first electrode layer 20 and the second electrode layer 21 on the layer surface of the first electrode layer 20 are completely overlapped, a relatively large number of diodes can be formed in a unit area, and the detection accuracy of the detector can be improved to a certain extent.
It should be understood that when the first electrode layer 20 is located within the orthographic projection of the second electrode layer 21 at the level of the first electrode layer 20, other processes need to be controlled to ensure that the first electrode lead layer forms a good ohmic contact with the first electrode layer 20 when forming the first electrode lead layer and the second electrode lead layer.
As a possible implementation manner, the first electrode layer 20 and/or the second electrode layer 21 are both semiconductor electrode layers or quantum dot electrode layers, but are not limited thereto.
For example: the first electrode layer 20 and the second electrode layer 21 are quantum dot electrode layers, and the diode of this structure has high gain. The diode with the structure is applied to the photoelectric detector, so that the sensitivity of the photoelectric detector to weak light can be improved.
As a possible implementation, the quantum dot stack is a PIN-type quantum dot stack. The PIN-type quantum dot stack comprises, in order in a direction away from the first electrode layer 20, a P-type quantum dot layer 220, an intrinsic quantum dot layer 221 and an N-type quantum dot layer 222.
In the first example, the first electrode layer 20 is a P-type silicon quantum dot electrode layer, the P-type quantum dot layer 220 is a P-type germanium quantum dot layer, the intrinsic quantum dot layer 221 is an intrinsic germanium quantum dot layer, the N-type quantum dot layer 222 is an N-type germanium quantum dot layer, and the second electrode layer 21 is an N-type silicon quantum dot electrode layer.
In a second example, first electrode layer 20 is an N-type silicon quantum dot electrode layer, P-type quantum dot layer 220 is a P-type germanium quantum dot layer, intrinsic quantum dot layer 221 is an intrinsic germanium quantum dot layer, N-type quantum dot layer 222 is an N-type germanium quantum dot layer, and second electrode layer 21 is a P-type silicon quantum dot electrode layer.
Fig. 3 and 4 show schematic structural diagrams of a detector provided by an embodiment of the invention. As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the detector includes a substrate 23 and M diodes as described in fig. 2 formed on a surface of the substrate 23 at intervals, wherein first electrode layers 20 included in the M diodes are electrically connected together, second electrode layers 21 included in the M diodes are electrically connected together, and M is an integer greater than or equal to 2. The electrical connection relationship of the first electrode layers 20 included in the M diodes and the electrical connection relationship of the second electrode layers 21 included in the M diodes are not specifically limited herein. It should be understood that the substrate 23 is a semiconductor substrate, and the material thereof may be a semiconductor material such as silicon, germanium, or the like.
Compared with the prior art, the detector provided by the embodiment of the invention has the same beneficial effects as the diode described in the embodiment of the invention, and the description is omitted.
In addition, the mutually independent quantum dot stacks 22 included in the M diodes provided in the detector according to the embodiment of the present invention increase the density of the quantum dot stacks 22 distributed on the substrate 23, compared with the integral quantum dot stack included in one diode provided in the detector according to the prior art. For example, while the detector provided by the prior art uses an integral quantum dot stack to sense the measured signal, the detector provided by the invention uses a plurality of structurally independent quantum dot stacks to sense the measured signal, and under the same detection condition, the detector has higher resolution to the measured signal, thereby further improving the sensitivity of the detector.
As a possible implementation, the second electrode layers 21 comprised by the M diodes that the probe has are connected in series.
As another possible implementation manner, the M diodes include k groups of diodes, the second electrode layers 21 included in each group of diodes are connected in parallel, and the second electrode layers 21 included in each group of diodes are connected in series; k is an integer less than or equal to M.
The series connection and the parallel connection refer to a connection relationship of the second electrode layer 21 in a structure, and are not a connection relationship of the second electrode layer 21 in a circuit.
