Description
この出願は、2003年11月20日に出願された暫定出願番号60/523,846号の利益を主張する。
本発明は、シリコンベースショットキ障壁赤外線(IR)光検出器に関し、より具体的には、室温で効果的に動作するために暗電流を十分に低くした平面導波管ベースIR光検出器に関する。
p−n接合の代わりに金属半導体障壁(ショットキ障壁と称される)を使用する半導体デバイスは、入射光を電気エネルギに変換するために開発された。シリコンは、電磁エネルギスペクトラムのIR部分で動作するショットキ障壁光検出器における半導体材料としてしばしば使用される。その最も従来の形式では、シリコンベースのショットキ障壁光ダイオードは、シリコン層の上に配置された(シリコンフィルム等の)金属薄膜から成る。入射光は、この構造に対して垂直に(所謂法線に)当てられ、比較的薄い金属膜を通り、ここで、前記薄膜は、前記光の一部のみを吸収し、従って、極めて低い外部量子効率レベルをもたらす。結果として、従来の「法線入射」光検出器は、適切に機能するために十分な量の光エネルギを集めるために、比較的大きな活性検出領域を必要とする。しかし、この検出領域が増大するにつれて、暗電流(望ましくないノイズ信号)も同様に増加する。更に、構造上比較的簡単である一方で、このような法線入射検出器は、通常冷却を必要とし、ここでも、比較的高い暗電流値が伴う。
本発明は、従来技術に残る必要性に取り組んでいる。本発明は、シリコンベースショットキ障壁赤外線(IR)光検出器に関し、より具体的には、室温で効果的に動作するように暗電流を十分に低くした平面導波管ベースIR光検出器に関する。
上記のように、本発明は、室温以下で、又は室温より上で動作することが出来るモノリシックに一体化した平面ショットキ障壁赤外線導波管検出器に関する。有利なことに、本発明の検出器の組み立て工程及び材料は、半導体工業と関連する、従来の平面CMOSプロセス技術と適合する。
Gain(λ)=sL/t,
ここで、Lは、シリサイドの表面に垂直な方向に投影されるホールの平均自由行路として定義され、tは、シリコン層の厚さとして定義され、sは、波長(λ)に関連する定数である。従って、平均自由行路長Lに対するシリサイド層の厚さtを減少することによって、伝播及びシリサイド境界からの多重反射の結果として障壁を越えて「熱い」正孔注入の増加した可能性に起因して、ゲイン要因は顕著に増加することが出来る。
