Description

InAs/GaSb buffer layer, silicon-based antimonide semiconductor material, preparation method thereof and component
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of semiconductor materials, in particular to an InAs/GaSb buffer layer, a silicon-based antimonide semiconductor material, a preparation method thereof and a component.
Background
The silicon-based photoelectronic technology is rapidly developed under the drive of the advantages and market demands of the silicon-based photoelectronic technology, becomes the most promising technical field in the current information technology, and may bring about changes to the technical fields of photoelectrons and microelectronics. However, as an indirect bandgap semiconductor, light emission of silicon material is a typical phonon-assisted low probability process, and the light emitting efficiency is low, so that it is difficult to obtain a silicon-based active device. Therefore, the research on efficient active photoelectric devices (combined with III-V materials or other new materials) of silicon substrates is carried out, and the efficient active photoelectric devices play an important role in silicon-based photoelectronic technology. The silicon-based photoelectronic technology is developed rapidly and simultaneously, and the applied wavelength range of the silicon-based photoelectronic technology is gradually extended from the traditional communication waveband to the intermediate infrared waveband and the far infrared waveband, mainly because the wavebands are positioned in the atmospheric 'window', contain various gas absorption spectral lines, and have great application prospects in the military and civil fields of trace gas detection, photoelectric countermeasure and the like. And with the continuous increase of the device scale, the density of the photon assembly is further improved, and the method becomes a main way for realizing the requirements of improving the device performance, reducing the power consumption, reducing the cost and the like. Therefore, the realization of the epitaxial growth of the silicon-based antimonide semiconductor material with high quality in the intermediate infrared band is a necessary research direction aiming at the application field of the intermediate infrared band photoelectrons.
It is noted that the lattice mismatch of silicon and antimonide materials (e.g., GaSb) can be as much as 12%. The lattice mismatch between the substrate and the epitaxial layer causes poor material quality and more active region defects, thereby causing non-radiative recombination and limiting the improvement of the performance of the laser device. Therefore, the development and design of more reasonable silicon-based antimonide epitaxial growth method and novel buffer layer material thereof are the key points in the field.
In view of this, the present application is specifically made.

Detailed Description
The terms as used herein:
"prepared from … …" is synonymous with "comprising". The terms "comprises," "comprising," "includes," "including," "has," "having," "contains," "containing," or any other variation thereof, as used herein, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a composition, process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements is not necessarily limited to only those elements but may include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such composition, process, method, article, or apparatus.
The conjunction "consisting of … …" excludes any unspecified elements, steps or components. If used in a claim, the phrase is intended to claim as closed, meaning that it does not contain materials other than those described, except for the conventional impurities associated therewith. When the phrase "consisting of … …" appears in a clause of the subject matter of the claims rather than immediately after the subject matter, it defines only the elements described in the clause; other elements are not excluded from the claims as a whole.
When an amount, concentration, or other value or parameter is expressed as a range, preferred range, or as a range of upper preferable values and lower preferable values, this is to be understood as specifically disclosing all ranges formed from any pair of any upper range limit or preferred value and any lower range limit or preferred value, regardless of whether ranges are separately disclosed. For example, when the range "1 ~ 5" is disclosed, the ranges described should be construed to include the ranges "1 ~ 4", "1 ~ 3", "1 ~ 2 and 4 ~ 5", "1 ~ 3 and 5", and the like. When a range of values is described herein, unless otherwise stated, the range is intended to include the endpoints thereof and all integers and fractions within the range.
In these examples, the parts and percentages are by mass unless otherwise indicated.
"part by mass" means a basic unit of measure indicating a mass ratio of a plurality of components, and 1 part may represent any unit mass, for example, 1g or 2.689 g. If we say that the part by mass of the component A is a part by mass and the part by mass of the component B is B part by mass, the ratio of the part by mass of the component A to the part by mass of the component B is a: b. alternatively, the mass of the A component is aK and the mass of the B component is bK (K is an arbitrary number, and represents a multiple factor). It is unmistakable that, unlike the parts by mass, the sum of the parts by mass of all the components is not limited to 100 parts.
"and/or" is used to indicate that one or both of the illustrated conditions may occur, e.g., a and/or B includes (a and B) and (a or B).

The preparation of examples 4 to 7 was carried out according to any one of examples 1 to 3.
Comparative example 1
In this comparative example, GaSb was grown directly only on a silicon substrate. The specific method comprises the following steps:
on the silicon substrate with tilt angle, the tilt angle is 2.86 °, and the growth parameters include: the substrate temperature was 400 ℃ and the III/V beam flow ratio was 1: 1. The Sb source is turned on first, and then the Ga source is turned on. The growth rate of GaSb was observed by RHEED (high energy electron diffraction) and was 1 ML/s. After 30 minutes, the Ga source and the Sb source were turned off in sequence. The lower image is a TEM image of GaSb grown directly on a silicon substrate.
The TEM tests were performed on the products obtained in example 1 and comparative example 1, and the TEM image of the product obtained in example 1 is shown in fig. 6, and the TEM image of the product obtained in comparative example 1 is shown in fig. 7.
As can be seen from fig. 6, the vertically distributed InAs/GaSb superlattice buffer layer grown on the surface of the silicon substrate can show that the silicon substrate has no defects at the lowest part, and the epitaxial layer, i.e., the vertically distributed InAs/GaSb superlattice, obviously has the similar-fold distribution, which is the obvious characteristic of the vertically distributed InAs/GaSb superlattice; importantly, no vertically propagating dislocation defects were seen. As can be seen from fig. 7, a large number of vertically propagating dislocation defects exist in the silicon substrate + gallium-antimony epitaxial layer structure without the vertically distributed InAs/GaSb superlattice buffer layer. The comparison of the two shows that the GaSb/InAs buffer layer provided by the application inhibits dislocation defects from vertically propagating from the substrate to the epitaxial layer, and realizes high-quality antimonide epitaxial growth.
