Description

Photosensitive semiconductor structure, photosensitive waveband adjusting method thereof and photoelectric device formed by photosensitive semiconductor structure
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of light sensing devices, in particular to a light sensing semiconductor structure, a light sensing waveband adjusting method thereof and a photoelectric device formed by the light sensing semiconductor structure.
Background
A photodetector is a device that converts an optical signal into an electrical signal. The method has wide application, for example, the method is applied to the fields of high-energy physics, space physics, security inspection, medical imaging and the like.
Because of the photo detector, a photo sensing area is needed to receive the optical signal according to the device requirement and convert the optical signal into the required electrical signal. Therefore, it is very important to select a specific wavelength band of light received by the light sensing area.
Some of the photodetectors use silicon oxide to select the wavelength band of the optical signal, and the physical and chemical properties of the silicon oxide layer are specific, so that the wavelength band of the optical signal is also specific and cannot be adjusted arbitrarily.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention mainly aims to provide a method for adjusting the photosensitive waveband of a photosensitive semiconductor structure, which can adjust the refractive index and extinction coefficient of a photosensitive layer through annealing or doping treatment so as to adjust the photosensitive waveband and expand the type and application range of a photosensitive device.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a photosensitive semiconductor structure obtained by the above method, and an optoelectronic device comprising the same, including a typical photodetector.
In order to achieve the above purpose, the invention provides the following technical scheme:
a method of adjusting a photosensitive band of a photosensitive semiconductor structure, comprising:
the photosensitive semiconductor structure comprises a substrate and a photosensitive layer;
subjecting the photosensitive layer to at least one of a treatment a or a treatment b, wherein:
and (b) processing a: annealing treatment, wherein the annealing temperature is 750-1200 ℃, and the photosensitive waveband is adjusted by controlling the annealing temperature and/or time;
and (b) processing: doping boron and/or phosphorus, and adjusting the photosensitive waveband by controlling the doping proportion of the boron and/or the phosphorus.
In the method, the light sensitive layer is annealed or doped, the refractive index and the extinction coefficient of the light sensitive layer change, and the induced light wave band changes accordingly. The invention adjusts the photosensitive wave band based on the principle, and realizes the purpose of expanding the type and the application range of the photosensitive device.
Generally, the higher the annealing temperature or the longer the annealing time, the higher the compactness of the oxide layer and the smaller the adjustable optical band range, and for this reason, the duration of the annealing temperature should be properly selected.
In addition, the annealing treatment is carried out after the photosensitive layer is formed; the doping with boron and/or phosphorus may be performed after the formation of the photosensitive layer or during the formation of the photosensitive layer, depending on whether the formation process of the photosensitive layer allows simultaneous ion doping.
The invention also provides a photosensitive semiconductor structure obtained by the method and a photoelectric device composed of the photosensitive semiconductor structure, including a typical photoelectric detector.
Compared with the prior art, the invention achieves the following technical effects:
(1) the photosensitive wave band of the photosensitive semiconductor structure is adjusted more easily and conveniently, and the adjustment can be realized without changing raw materials;
(2) the adjustable range of the photosensitive wave band is wide, and the adjusting means is diversified;
(3) the superposition of the thermal oxidation growth silicon oxide and the PECVD deposition silicon oxide not only achieves the purpose of few interface defects between the photosensitive layer and the substrate, but also meets the requirement of adjustable optical waveband.

Detailed Description
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the description is illustrative only and is not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure. Moreover, in the following description, descriptions of well-known structures and techniques are omitted so as to not unnecessarily obscure the concepts of the present disclosure.
Various structural schematics according to embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the figures. The figures are not drawn to scale, wherein certain details are exaggerated and possibly omitted for clarity of presentation. 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 context of the present disclosure, when a layer/element is referred to as being "on" another layer/element, it can be directly on the other layer/element or intervening layers/elements may be present. In addition, if a layer/element is "on" another layer/element in one orientation, then that layer/element may be "under" the other layer/element when the orientation is reversed.
Taking a typical photodetector as an example, the formation process of the photosensitive semiconductor structure in the device is as follows:
a field oxide layer 2 is grown on a silicon substrate 1 (or a sapphire substrate, etc.) to form the shape as shown in fig. 1, and then a photosensitive area 3 is etched as required to obtain the shape as shown in fig. 2.
A gate oxide layer 4, typically a silicon dioxide layer, is then grown in the photosensitive region to form the topography shown in figure 3. The step can be used as a basic layer for adjusting the optical band to carry out annealing treatment or doping treatment, but the defect at the interface of the gate oxide layer and the bottom layer is serious easily, and the electrical property is not favorably kept.
For this purpose, a regulating oxide layer 5 is also grown on the gate oxide layer to obtain the morphology shown in fig. 4. During or after the process, the photosensitive wavelength band can be adjusted by controlling the processing means for adjusting the oxide layer 5 and adjusting the photosensitive wavelength band, either or both of the following two methods can be adopted:
a, processing a, annealing, wherein the annealing temperature is 750-1200 ℃, and the photosensitive waveband is adjusted by controlling the annealing temperature and/or time;
and b, doping boron and/or phosphorus, and adjusting the photosensitive wave band by controlling the doping proportion of the boron and/or the phosphorus.
In the above scheme, if the photosensitive structure is used for manufacturing other devices, other processes may be required before forming the field oxide layer. Taking the stacked photodiode as an example, the substrate is repeatedly doped and photoetched before the field oxide layer is formed.
In the above scheme, in order to reduce the defects at the interface of the layer as much as possible, the density of the gate oxide layer should be greater than the density of the adjusting oxide layer, and different deposition means can be adopted to grow the two-layer structure to meet the above requirements. For example, the gate oxide layer grown by a thermal oxidation mode has good repeatability and strong stability, and has few interface defects with a silicon substrate, thereby ensuring the electrical characteristics of the device; the adjusting oxide layer is grown by means of PECVD (plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition), and the silicon oxide layer is used for adjusting the wave band and the intensity of a received optical signal.
The above scheme is only the basic requirement of the invention for adjusting the sensory wave band, and in practical application, the invention has more embodiments according to different situations.
In some embodiments, according to the above method, after the gate oxide layer and the adjusting oxide layer are sequentially deposited in the photosensitive region, the adjusting oxide layer is annealed, the annealing temperature is adjusted within the range of 750-.
When the oxide layer is adjusted to be silicon dioxide, on one hand, the higher the annealing temperature is, the more compact the oxide layer is relatively, and the shorter the wavelength is, the stronger the penetrating power is; on the other hand, the longer the annealing time is, the more compact the oxide layer is, the shorter the wavelength is, the stronger the penetrating power is; the annealing temperature and duration can be adjusted according to the above characteristics.
In addition, the annealing treatment can adopt spike annealing or high-temperature furnace tube annealing.
In some embodiments, in the above method, when depositing silicon dioxide by PECVD after depositing a gate oxide layer on the photosensitive region, in addition to supplying a silicon source and a reaction gas, a precursor of boron B and phosphorus P elements is supplied, or the silicon source itself contains boron B and phosphorus P elements. The oxide layer deposited by the process completes the doping of boron B and phosphorus P, and the optical band is adjusted by controlling the proportion of doping elements in the deposition process.
In general, the larger the total doping ratio of boron B and phosphorus P is, the smaller the refractive index becomes, and the correspondingly selected wavelength becomes larger, according to which the doping ratio can be adjusted.
In some embodiments, according to the above method, after the gate oxide layer is deposited in the photosensitive region, the gate oxide layer is annealed, the annealing temperature is adjusted within the range of 750-.
In some embodiments, according to the above method, after the gate oxide is deposited on the photosensitive region, ion implantation is performed, the ion source is a precursor of boron B and phosphorus P, and the energy and dosage of the ion implantation are determined according to the requirement.
In some embodiments, the gate oxide is deposited in the photosensitive region, followed by ion implantation and then annealing, according to the methods described above. The ion source is the precursor of boron B and phosphorus P elements during implantation, and the energy and dosage of ion implantation are determined according to the requirement. The annealing temperature is adjusted within the range of 750 ℃ and 1200 ℃, and the annealing time is adjusted randomly. The scheme adopts two treatments, the adjustable range of the wave band can be enlarged, and meanwhile, some defects generated during ion implantation can be repaired through an annealing process, so that the electrical characteristics of the device are improved.
In some embodiments, according to the above method, when depositing silicon dioxide by PECVD after depositing a gate oxide layer on a photosensitive region, precursors of boron B and phosphorus P elements are supplied in addition to a silicon source and a reaction gas, or the silicon source itself contains boron B and phosphorus P elements; and then annealing treatment is carried out. Similarly, the treatment mode combining doping and annealing can reduce the structural defects of the product caused by the process, and avoid the problem that the optical band is adjustable but the quality is reduced.
The embodiments of the present disclosure have been described above. However, these examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure. The scope of the disclosure is defined by the appended claims and equivalents thereof. Various alternatives and modifications can be devised by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the disclosure, and these alternatives and modifications are intended to fall within the scope of the disclosure.
