pv型赤外線検知器である。Among the photons that have passed through the insulating layer 6 and entered the compound semiconductor substrate 1, photons with energy greater than the forbidden band width of the compound semiconductor substrate 1 excite electrons in the full band to the conduction band,
The same number of holes are generated in the filled zone. The excited electrons and holes recombine after moving by their respective diffusion lengths. During this process, electrons and holes excited in and near the depletion layer at the bottom 5 of the semiconductor doped layer 4 drift along the electric field in the depletion layer, and becomes minority carriers and generates an electromotive force between the 2nd layer and the N layer. A PV type infrared detector detects infrared rays using the electromotive force.

。Incidentally, this PV type infrared detector has excellent characteristics such as low power consumption, high speed response, and high sensitivity, and has been widely developed in recent years. The performance of this Pv type sensing element is influenced by its impedance (hereinafter abbreviated as Ro) in a zero bias state.

ようとするものである。Generally, as a structure for reducing the carrier trapping level density in the surface region, electrons having a structure as shown in FIG. 3 are often used. A compound semiconductor layer 7 is formed on the compound semiconductor substrate 1 and has a larger forbidden band width. The GR lightning current in the surface region of the pn junction increases in proportion to the intrinsic carrier density. This intrinsic carrier density is mainly a function of the forbidden band width Eg of the semiconductor material and the temperature T, and is Eg/2K
It depends exponentially on T. Therefore, a layer 7 having a larger forbidden band width than the semiconductor substrate 1 is formed on the surface of the semiconductor substrate 1.
This is intended to reduce the GR lightning current in the surface region.

れは新たなGR電流発生の原因となる。However, in this case, the problem is what material to use for the layer 7 having a large forbidden band on the surface of the semiconductor substrate 1 and how to form it. For example, if a material with poor lattice matching with the semiconductor substrate 1 is used, the density of interface states at the interface 11 between the semiconductor substrate 1 and the surface layer 7 increases, which causes new generation of GR current.

The object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing an infrared detector that can obtain the following.

相互拡散層より深くしたものである。The method for manufacturing an infrared detector according to the present invention includes, for example, forming a compound semiconductor on the surface of a compound semiconductor substrate with a compound semiconductor that is part of the constituent substances of the compound semiconductor and has a larger forbidden band width than the compound semiconductor, or the constituent substances are the same. After forming a compound semiconductor surface layer made of a compound semiconductor whose composition is controlled so that the forbidden width is larger than that of the compound semiconductor, an interdiffusion layer is formed between the substrate and the compound semiconductor of the surface layer at high temperature, Thereafter, the layer above the surface of the compound semiconductor substrate before the formation of the interdiffusion layer is removed, and the required portions of the surface are doped with impurities, and the impurity doped layer is made deeper than the interdiffusion layer.

At the end of the impurity doped layer, that is, the part where the pn junction is exposed on the compound semiconductor surface, the forbidden width becomes larger than that of the compound semiconductor substrate, and the GR of the compound semiconductor surface area increases.
Lightning current is reduced.

The layer above the surface of the Cd xTe (x-0,2) substrate 1 is removed using a mixture of Br2 and CH30H to obtain the structure shown in Figure 1 (C1). Next, an electrically insulating layer is formed on it. A layer of ZnS or 5i02, which also serves as an impurity intrusion prevention layer, is formed, and an impurity is doped into the surface of the substrate 1 from the opening thereof to form an impurity-doped layer 4.

Those with energy larger than the forbidden band width of Te (x=0.2) generate electron-hole pairs. Impurity doped layer 4
The electron-hole pairs generated near the pn junction 5, which is the bottom of the
These become minority carriers in each of the impurity-doped layer 4 and the substrate 1, and appear as an electromotive force. - By the way, one of the things that affects the element performance of this structure is the OR current generated in the surface exposed region 10 of the pn junction, and in this region °10, the forbidden band width is Hgr- due to the interdiffusion M9. xCdxTe (X=0.2
) is larger than that of layer 1, so the OR current can be reduced. Further, in the structure shown in FIG. 3 (ill), since there is an interdiffusion layer 9, the composition does not change abruptly, and the interface state density between the two can be made very small, making it possible to prevent the generation of new OR current.

The OR current in the interdiffusion layer can be made small, and since there is no steep change in composition within the interdiffusion layer, the interface state density can be made very small, resulting in a high-performance PV-type infrared detector with a large RO.
