본 발명은 광통신 시스템에 사용되는 수광소자의 제조방법에 관한 것으로, 특히 GaInAs/InP핀 포토 다이오드(PIN photo diode) 및 애벌런시 포토 다이오드(avalanche photodiode : APD)등 수광소자의 암전류(dark current)를 저감시키고 평면화된 포토 다이오드 제조방법에 관한 것이다.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a light receiving element for use in an optical communication system, and in particular, a dark current of a light receiving element such as a GaInAs / InP pin photo diode and an avalanche photodiode (APD). The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a planarized photodiode and reducing the amount.

종래의 경우는 메사(mesa)를 형성하고 p-면 전극을 형성한 후, 폴리 이미드(Polyimide)로 보호막을 입혀 표면에 노출되는 pn접합부를 보호하여 표면 누설전류를 제거하였는데, 상기 과정에서 pn접합부에 전극 패드가 형성되어 있음으로 해서 와이어 본딩(wire bonding)시에 가해지는 충격으로 인해 pn접합부에 결정 결함이 유도되어 암전류(dark current)가 증가 하였으며 이를 피하기 위해 전기도금등의 방법으로 2㎛이상의 두꺼운 금속층을 형성하여 충격을 완화하는 방법으로 사용하여 누설전류를 감소시켰다. 그러나 이 방법으로 포토 다이오드를 제작할 경우, 폴리이미드(polyimide)는 pn접합부를 둘러싸서 단지 표면 누설전류를 제거해 주는 역할 밖에 하지 못하며, 와이어 본딩(wire bonding)시에 가해지는 충격을 완화하기 위해서는 또다른 금속 층을 형성하기 위한 전기도금을 필요로 함에 따라 리쏘그라피(lithography)를 여러번 해야하는 공정의 복잡성 문제를 내재하고 있었다. 또한 표면 보호막으로만 사용된 폴리이미드(polyimide) 코딩공정시에도 폴리이미드를 코팅한 후 활성층(Active area)영역에는 폴리이미드를 제거해야 하는데, 이 공정시에 포토 레지스터를 입히고 복잡한 열처리를 한후 마스크 작업을 거쳐 에칭하는 방법을 사용하였으나, 이 방법 또한 폴리이미드를 화학용액에서 에칭하기 위해서는 낮은 온도에서 열처리를 해야하며, 또 이미다이즈(immidize)시키기 위해서 패턴을 형성한후 높은 온도에서 다시 열처리를 해야하는 공정의 복잡성 문제를 내재하고 있다.In the conventional case, after forming a mesa and forming a p-plane electrode, a protective film was coated with polyimide to protect the pn junction exposed on the surface, thereby removing surface leakage current. Due to the electrode pads formed at the junctions, the impacts applied during wire bonding induced crystal defects at the pn junctions, resulting in an increase in the dark current. The above-mentioned thick metal layer was formed and used as a method of alleviating the impact to reduce the leakage current. However, when the photodiode is fabricated in this way, the polyimide only serves to remove the surface leakage current by surrounding the pn junction, and another method to mitigate the impact applied during wire bonding. The need for electroplating to form metal layers inherent in the complexity of processes requiring multiple lithography. In addition, during the polyimide coding process used only as a surface protective film, polyimide should be coated and then the polyimide should be removed from the active area. In this process, a photoresist is applied and a complex heat treatment is performed for masking. Although the etching method is used, this method also needs to be heat-treated at low temperature in order to etch the polyimide in a chemical solution, and to heat-treat at a high temperature after forming a pattern to imidize the polyimide. The complexity of the process is inherent.

따라서 본 발명은 상기의 문제점을 제거하기 위해 안출한 것으로서, 간단한 공정으로 폴리이미드층을 형성하여 표면에 노출된 pn접합부를 보호하고 상기 폴리이미드층 상에 전극을 형성시킴으로써 pn접합부에 전극 형성시 요하는 전기도금을 하지 않고서도 와이어 본딩시 증가되는 누설전류를 제거하여 소자의 암전류(dark current)를 저감시키는 포토 다이오드 제조방법을 제공함에 본 발명의 목적을 두고 있다.Therefore, the present invention has been made in order to eliminate the above problems, by forming a polyimide layer in a simple process to protect the pn junction exposed on the surface and to form an electrode on the polyimide layer to form the electrode on the pn junction It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for manufacturing a photodiode that reduces the dark current of a device by removing leakage current increased during wire bonding without electroplating.

제2도는 본 발명에 의한 포토 다이오드의 제조 공정을 나타낸 것으로서, 도면의 부호는 제1a도의 경우와 동일하게 사용하였으며, 본도의 제2a도 내지 제2d도를 이용하여 제조공정을 순서대로 설명하면 다음과 같다.2 is a view illustrating a manufacturing process of a photodiode according to the present invention, and reference numerals of the drawings are used in the same manner as in FIG. 1A, and the manufacturing processes are sequentially described using FIGS. 2A to 2D of the present drawings. As follows.

우선 n-형 InP기판(1)위에 i-GaInAs(2)를 격자정합이 이루어지도록 LPE(Liquid Phase Epitaxy) 또는 MOCVD(Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition) 방법으로 성장한 후 Zn확산으로 p-형 GaInAs(3)를 형성하거나, n-InP기판(1)위에 i-GaInAs(2) 및 p-GaInAs(3)를 차례로 성장하여 pn접합이 이루어지도록 한다(제2a도).First, i-GaInAs (2) is grown on the n-type InP substrate (1) by LPE (Liquid Phase Epitaxy) or MOCVD (Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition) method, followed by pn-type GaInAs (3) by Zn diffusion. ) Or i-GaInAs (2) and p-GaInAs (3) are sequentially grown on the n-InP substrate (1) to form a pn junction (FIG. 2a).

상기 공정후 pn접합의 정전용량(junction capacitance)이 작아지도록 리쏘그라피(lithography)작업을 하여 메사에칭(mesa etching)을 한다(제2b도).After the process, lithography is performed so that the junction capacitance of the pn junction is reduced by mesa etching (FIG. 2b).

상기 메사에칭 공정후 표면에 노출되는 접합부의 표면 안전화(passivation)를 위해 전면에 폴리이미드(polyimide)(4)를 코팅하고(제2c도), 상기 폴리이미드의 에칭공정을 간단하게 하기위해 화학증착방(chemide vapour deposition chamber)내에 시료를 넣고 온도를 올려주어 폴리이미드(polyimide)의 이미다이즈(immideze)와, 상기 폴리이미드의 상부에 SiO2막(5)의 증착을 차례로 수행한다(제2d도, 제2d'도, 제2d"도).After the mesa etching process, a polyimide (4) is coated on the front surface for passivation of the joint exposed to the surface (Fig. 2c), and chemical vapor deposition is used to simplify the etching process of the polyimide. The sample was placed in a chemical vapor deposition chamber and the temperature was raised to sequentially imideide polyimide and deposit a SiO 2 film 5 on top of the polyimide (2d). Degrees, 2d 'degrees, and 2d "degrees).

상기 SiO2(5)증착 공정후 리쏘그라피(lithography)를 1회 실시하여 SiO2산화막(5)를 BOE(Buffered Oxide Etchant) 용액에서 에칭을 하여 패턴(Pattern)화 한후, 플라즈마 애싱 장비(plasma ashing machine) 내에서 폴리이미드를 상기 SiO2패턴과 같이 패턴화 함으로써 마스크 오프닝(mask opening) 공정과 플라즈마 애싱(plasima ashing) 공정을 수행한다.After the SiO 2 (5) deposition process, the lithography was performed once to form a pattern by etching the SiO 2 oxide film 5 in a BOE (Buffered Oxide Etchant) solution, followed by plasma ashing equipment (plasma ashing). The masking process and the plasma ashing process are performed by patterning the polyimide in the machine as in the SiO 2 pattern.

이때 SiO2를 패턴화 하기 위해 리쏘그라피용으로 도포한 포토래지스트(photo resist)는 폴리이미드의 패턴화 과정에서 플라즈마(plasma)에 의해 같이 제거되므로 별도의 포토 레지스트 제거 공정이 필요없다.At this time, the photoresist coated for lithography to pattern SiO 2 is removed by plasma during the patterning of the polyimide, so a separate photoresist removal process is not required.

폴리이미드(polyimide)층 (4)상의 SiO2산화막(5)를 제거하지 않은채, 그 상부의 전면에 걸쳐서 실리콘 나이트라이드(SiNx) 무반사막(9)을 PECVD(Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition)등의 방법으로 코팅하여 형성한다.(제2e도).Without removing the SiO 2 oxide film 5 on the polyimide layer 4, the silicon nitride (SiNx) anti-reflective film 9 is placed over the entire surface thereof, such as PECVD (Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition). It is formed by coating in a manner (Fig. 2e).

상기 SiNx무반사막(9) 형성공정후 리쏘그라피(lithography)를 1회 실시하여 pn접합을 형성하는 p-GaInAs(3)윗면의 전극이 닿을 부분만 SiNx무반사막을 제거하고, 리쏘그라피를 1회 더 실시하여 p-면금속을 증착한 다음 리프트-오프(lift-off) 공정으로 전극을 형성하게 되는데 이때 폴리이미드층(4) 상부에 위치한 무반사막(9) 상에 전극 패드(6)가 형성되도록 함으로써 성능이 향상된 포토 다이오드를 제작한다.After the process of forming the SiNx antireflection film 9, lithography is performed once to remove only the portion where the electrode on the upper surface of the p-GaInAs (3) contacting the p-GaInAs (3) is removed, and the lithography is performed once more. After the p-plane metal is deposited to form an electrode by a lift-off process, the electrode pad 6 is formed on the antireflection film 9 located on the polyimide layer 4. This makes a photodiode with improved performance.

다른 방법과 비교하여 본 발명이 갖는 특징을 들면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 실리콘 나이트라이드(SiNx)의 두께를 조절하여 무반사막을(9)을 형성한다.The features of the present invention compared with other methods are as follows. First, the antireflection film 9 is formed by adjusting the thickness of silicon nitride (SiNx).

둘째, 종래의 경우 p-GaInAs(3) 상에 형성되던 전극 패드(6)를 폴리이미드(4), SiO2산화막(5), SiNx무반사막(9)의 순으로 형성되는 부도체(insulator) 상에 형성된다.Second, in the conventional case, the electrode pad 6 formed on the p-GaInAs 3 is formed on the insulator on the polyimide 4, the SiO 2 oxide film 5, and the SiNx antireflective film 9 in this order. Is formed.

셋째, p-GaInAs층상의 전극에서 부도체(insulator)상의 전극 패드(6)로 전기적 배선을 연결할때 제1b도의 목부분(10)보다 제1a도의 목부분(11)곡률이 휠씬 완만하게 형성됨에 따라 금속전기 배선이 용이하다.Third, when the electrical wiring is connected from the electrode on the p-GaInAs layer to the electrode pad 6 on the insulator, the curvature of the neck portion 11 of FIG. 1a is smoother than that of the neck portion 10 of FIG. 1b. Metal electrical wiring is easy.
