Detailed Description
Embodiments of the present application will now be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which embodiments of the application are shown, and in which it is to be understood that the embodiments described are merely illustrative of some, but not all, of the embodiments of the application. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
The working principle of the spectrometer is that a beam is divided into a plurality of sub-beams by means of dispersion and the like, the wavelength ranges of different sub-beams are different, and the divided beams are intensively irradiated on a detector through optical components such as a collimator and the like to read the light intensity. The spectrometer integration scheme is similar, and light splitting is also required by means of a grating or a micro-prism structure. Then, the light waveguide is used for irradiating light onto the detector, so that light detection is realized, and a spectrum is formed through calculation. The conventional spectrometer generally performs optical signal detection by irradiating light beams onto corresponding detectors after beam splitting through an independent light splitting module and an independent light transmission module, and has low system integration level and large volume.
In addition, in the conventional spectrometer, the detection range of the wavelength of the detector shows that the spectrometer can only work in a narrow wave band. In order to perform detection with a wider spectrum, a plurality of detectors with different wavelength detection ranges need to be arranged, so that a more complicated light splitting module and a light transmission module are correspondingly needed, and the system volume is further increased. For an integrated chip, detectors with different wave bands often cannot achieve effective process integration, and the performance expansion of the scheme of the on-chip integrated spectrometer is limited.
In view of this, the present disclosure provides an on-chip integrated spectrometer, a method for manufacturing the same, and an electronic device, where the on-chip integrated spectrometer simultaneously integrates a plurality of photodetectors with different wavelength detection ranges on a same chip substrate, and divides light incident into the light splitting system into a plurality of sub-beams corresponding to the photodetectors one to one through a light splitting system and an optical waveguide, so that each of the photodetectors detects the sub-beams within the corresponding wavelength range, thereby achieving broadband light detection, improving integration level, and having a smaller size.
In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present application more comprehensible, the present application is described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and the detailed description.
As shown in fig. 1, fig. 1 is a top view of an on-chip integrated spectrometer provided in an embodiment of the present application, and fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the on-chip integrated spectrometer shown in fig. 1 in a direction a-a', the on-chip integrated spectrometer including:
a chip substrate 11, the chip substrate 11 having a first surface S1;
a detector array 12 located on the first surface S1, the detector array 12 including a plurality of photodetectors 121, different photodetectors 121 having different wavelength detection ranges;
a light splitting system 13 located on the first surface S1, wherein the light splitting system 13 is configured to split the light entering the light splitting system 13 into a plurality of sub-beams corresponding to the photodetectors 121; the wavelength range of the sub-beam is located in the wavelength detection range of the corresponding photodetector 121;
the optical waveguide 14 is located on the first surface, the optical waveguide 14 includes a plurality of optical waveguide units 141 corresponding to the sub-beams one by one, and the optical waveguide units 141 are configured to transmit the sub-beams to the photodetectors 121 corresponding to the sub-beams.
In the integrated spectrometer on chip provided by the embodiment of the present application, the plurality of photodetectors 121 with different wavelength detection ranges are integrated on the surface of the same chip substrate 11, so that broadband light detection can be realized. And a plurality of photodetectors 121 with different wavelength detection ranges are integrated on the same chip substrate 11, and the light incident into the optical splitting system 13 is split into a plurality of sub-beams corresponding to the photodetectors 121 one by one through the optical splitting system 13 and the optical waveguide 14, so that each of the photodetectors 121 detects the sub-beams within the corresponding wavelength range, thereby not only realizing the light detection of a broad band, but also improving the integration level and having a smaller volume.
As shown in fig. 2, the detector 121 includes a heterojunction including: a first semiconductor layer 121a and a second semiconductor layer 121b which are stacked; the second semiconductor layer 121b is disposed on a surface of the first semiconductor layer 121a facing away from the chip substrate 11, and the second semiconductor layer 121b is a two-dimensional material film layer.
Wherein the two-dimensional material film layer comprises: graphene film layer, black phosphorus film layer, indium selenide (InSe) film layer, molybdenum disulfide (MoS)2) One of a film layer, a tungsten selenide (WSe) film layer, and a Boron Nitride (BN) film layer; the two-dimensional material film layers of different detectors 121 are different, so that different detectors 121 have different wavelength detection ranges. For example, a heterojunction built by two-dimensional material boron nitride can detect ultraviolet light and deep ultraviolet light, a heterojunction built by two-dimensional material molybdenum disulfide can detect visible light, and a heterojunction built by two-dimensional material black phosphorus can detect infrared light.
Due to the characteristics of the two-dimensional material, the interlayer bonding force is very weak, and a single-layer two-dimensional material film layer can be simply obtained by means of stripping and the like. When the heterojunction is built by adopting different two-dimensional material film layers, the mixed integration process scheme of the different two-dimensional material film layers on the chip substrate 11 has no essential difference, so that various detectors based on various two-dimensional materials can be simultaneously integrated on the same chip substrate 11, and the limitation of a conventional on-chip integrated photoelectric detector on a spectrometer is effectively solved.
In the integrated spectrometer on chip according to the embodiment of the present application, a patterned first film layer is disposed on the semiconductor substrate 11, and the first film layer includes: the optical splitting system 13, the first semiconductor layer 121a, and the optical waveguide 14. The light splitting system 13, the first semiconductor layer 121a and the optical waveguide 14 are simultaneously manufactured by using the same film layer, so that the manufacturing process is simplified, and the manufacturing cost is reduced. A buffer layer 16 may be formed on the first surface S1 of the chip substrate 11, and the first film layer is formed on the buffer layer 16, so that the buffer layer increases the attachment stability of the first film layer on the surface of the chip substrate 11.
In the integrated spectrometer on chip according to the embodiment of the present application, the key of the integration scheme of the detector 121 is to adopt a two-dimensional material with a suitable band gap to construct a heterojunction, so as to form the detector array 12 including the photodetector 121, in the detector array 12, the two-dimensional materials adopted by the photodetector 121 are different, so that the wavelength detection ranges of the photodetector 121 are different.
As described above, in the conventional technology, detectors of different wave bands often cannot achieve effective process integration, and the performance expansion of the scheme of the on-chip integrated spectrometer is limited. In the embodiment of the application, to the limitation of the conventional on-chip integrated spectrometer detector scheme, the detector 121 is made of a two-dimensional material film, and the heterojunction formed by the two-dimensional material is used as the detector 121, so that multiple different two-dimensional materials can be adopted to prepare a plurality of different wavelength detection ranges for the detector 121, and the on-chip integrated spectrometer capable of responding to a large-bandwidth spectrum is prepared by utilizing the characteristic that the two-dimensional materials are easy to integrate with the current photoelectric chip process. And based on the properties of wide coverage of the two-dimensional material on wave bands and adjustable energy gap, a small number of detectors 121 can be prepared by using a small number of two-dimensional materials, so that the full-wave band coverage from deep ultraviolet to infrared can be realized, and the problem of performance limitation of the on-chip spectrometer caused by the response width of the detectors is solved.

By arranging the first electrode 121c and the second electrode 121d, the on-chip integrated spectrometer can be connected to an external circuit, so that the external circuit can acquire spectral information detected by the on-chip integrated spectrometer.
In the manner shown in fig. 3, the first area and the second area of the first semiconductor layer 121a have the same height, that is, the surface of the first semiconductor layer 121a facing away from the chip substrate 11 is a plane parallel to the chip substrate 11.
In another mode, the first semiconductor layer 121a includes a first region and a second region, a distance from the first region to the chip substrate 11 is greater than a distance from the second region to the chip substrate 11, and the two-dimensional material film layer is located on a surface of the second region and exposes the first region. Because the second area is smaller than the first area in height, when the two-dimensional material is transferred, the two-dimensional material can be limited by the first area with larger height on the periphery of the second area. The two-dimensional material film layer and the underlying first semiconductor layer 121a are fixed by van der waals bonding. Optionally, the first region surrounds the second region.
