Definitions
- the invention relates to an AlGaN or GaN ultraviolet avalanche photodetector based on a field plate structure and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of semiconductor optoelectronic materials.
- Group III nitride semiconductors represented by aluminum gallium nitride have a direct band gap and stable physical and chemical properties. They are new third-generation semiconductor materials that have been researched and developed at home and abroad in recent years. GaN and AlN semiconductor materials have band gap widths of 3.4 eV and 6.2 eV, respectively. By forming an Al x Ga 1-x N multi-component compound, the band gap width can be continuously changed from 3.4 to 6.2 eV, and the wavelength range covers 200 to 365 nm. Preferred materials for making UV detectors.
- the photodetectors of AlGaN-based semiconductor materials Compared with traditional silicon-based UV detectors and UV photomultiplier tubes, the photodetectors of AlGaN-based semiconductor materials have higher sensitivity, can directly achieve visible light or even day blind operation, and can be used in harsh environments such as high temperature and strong radiation. Obvious advantages such as work.
- Ultraviolet AlGaN based avalanche photodetector having a high response speed, gain more than 105, even (Geiger mode) work, enabling rapid measurement of the UV signal is weak in the single-photon detection mode.
- Avalanche photodiodes generally use a PIN structure, which is characterized by adding a low-doped intrinsic semiconductor layer between the P and N semiconductor materials. When the diode is reverse biased, the voltage drops almost entirely on the deeply depleted I layer.
- the avalanche photodiode can work in a state slightly lower than the avalanche breakdown voltage (linear mode), or it can work in a state slightly higher than the avalanche breakdown state (Geiger mode).
- junction termination Since AlGaN and APD need to work in a high electric field mode, reliable junction termination is the key to the stable operation of the device.
- common junction termination structures include floating field rings, field plates, junction termination extensions, and bevel terminations.
- the junction termination technology of the field plate structure is widely used in power devices due to its simple process and stable effect.
- the Schottky barrier diode shown in FIG. 1 forms a MOS structure between the field plate and the insulating layer and the semiconductor, so that the depletion region at the Schottky junction is further expanded.
- the equipotential lines at the Schottky junction with the field plate structure (as shown in Fig. 3) become thinner, the electric field strength is weakened, and the breakdown voltage is effectively improved.
- An object of the present invention is to provide an AlGaN or GaN ultraviolet avalanche photodetector based on a field plate structure.
- An AlGaN or GaN ultraviolet avalanche photodetector based on a field plate structure includes an AlGaN or GaN APD device. Both sides of the AlGaN or GaN APD device form a slope at an angle of 15 ° -30 °, and a metal field plate is arranged on the slope. The field plate covers the junction region, is connected to the p-type electrode, and is not connected to the n-type electrode.
- the structure of the AlGaN ultraviolet avalanche photodetector includes:
- a slope is formed on both sides of the device.
- the slope extends from the p + -type GaN layer to the surface or inside of the n-type AlGaN layer.
- An insulating layer is grown on the slope, and a p-type electrode is evaporated on the p + -type GaN layer to form a p-type ohmic contact.
- the n-type AlGaN layer is exposed, the n-type electrode is vapor-deposited on the n-type AlGaN layer to form an n-type ohmic contact, and the metal field plate is vapor-deposited on the insulating layer.
- the insulating layer is SiO 2 or Si 3 N 4 .
- the structure of the GaN ultraviolet avalanche photodetector from bottom to top includes:
- a slope is formed on both sides of the device.
- the slope extends from the p + -type GaN layer to the surface or inside of the n-type AlGaN layer.
- An insulating layer is grown on the slope, and a p-type electrode is evaporated on the p + -type GaN layer to form a p-type ohmic contact.
- the n-type GaN layer is exposed, the n-type electrode is evaporated on the n-type GaN layer to form an n-type ohmic contact, and the metal field plate is evaporated on the insulating layer.
- the insulating layer is SiO 2 or Si 3 N 4 .
- the invention also discloses a method for preparing the above-mentioned AlGaN ultraviolet avalanche photodetector, and the steps include:
- Photolithography making photoresist with a thickness ranging from 6 to 8 ⁇ m on the surface of AlGaN APD devices;
- Photoresist reflow baking the photoresist to reflow the photoresist to form a tilt angle of 12 ° -20 °;
- Pattern transfer Using the ICP dry etching method, the tilt angle of the photoresist is transferred to the device to form an AlGaN slope from the p + -type GaN layer to the i-type AlGaN layer or the n-type AlGaN layer. When the tilt angle is enlarged to 15 ° -30 °;
- Electrode opening window The RIE dry etching method is used to remove the insulating layer on the n-type AlGaN layer and the p + -type GaN layer at which the electrode position is to be used for making an ohmic contact electrode;
- Electrodes using electron beam evaporation method, n-type electrodes and p-type electrodes are vapor-deposited on AlGaN APD devices and quickly annealed to form n-type and p-type ohmic contacts;
- the AlGaN APD device to be etched is sequentially subjected to ultrasonic cleaning with acetone, absolute ethanol, and deionized water, and dried at 120 ° C. for 2 minutes to remove surface moisture.
- the strong oxidant in step (5) is 98% concentrated sulfuric acid and 30% hydrogen peroxide, and is mixed in a volume ratio of 3: 1.
- the thickness of the insulating layer in step (6) is 150-500 nm.
- the metal in step (9) is Al, Ti, Ni or Au.
- the feature of the invention is that a gentle inclined sidewall is formed on the AlGaN APD device by the method of thick film photoresist reflow.
- the length of the field plate extending on the sidewall can be controlled, which can achieve the coverage of the junction area without exceeding the effective range, and further exert the MOS effect between the field plate, the insulation layer, and the semiconductor, and expand the device junction.
- the width of the depletion region of the region suppresses the peak electric field in the junction region of the device.
- the method provided by the invention has the advantages of strong controllability and high repeatability. It is mainly reflected in the following two aspects:
- the peak electric field at the junction region and the edge of the field plate can be changed.
- Increasing the length of the field plate will reduce the peak electric field at the junction region and increase the peak electric field at the edge of the field plate.
- By changing the length of the field plate it is possible to reduce the peak electric field in the junction region as much as possible while ensuring that the peak value at the edge of the field plate is reasonable (the breakdown of the passivation layer does not occur).
- the peak electric field at the junction region and the edge of the field plate can also be changed. Decreasing the thickness of the insulating layer will reduce the peak electric field in the junction region and increase the peak electric field at the edge of the field plate. By changing the thickness of the insulating layer, it is possible to reduce the peak electric field in the junction region as much as possible while ensuring that the field plate edge peaks are reasonable (without the passivation layer breakdown).
- changing the dielectric constant of the insulating layer can also change the peak electric field at the junction region and the edge of the field plate.
- the larger the dielectric constant of the insulating layer the better the effect of the field plate and the lower the peak electric field in the junction region.
