Description

一种薄膜型半导体芯片结构及应用其的光电器件 技术领域
本发明涉及半导体领域的一种薄膜型半导体芯片结构及应用其的光电器件。
背景技术
以III-V族、II-IV族、III族氮化物、III族砷磷化物的半导体发光材料制备的发光二极管作为第四代光源(半导体固态照明)的主体。它具有节能、环保、寿命长、体积小、重量轻、抗震、安全性好(低电压驱动),响应时间短、冷光源、色彩丰富、应用范围广等众多优点,广泛应用于LCD背光照明光源、汽车照明、室内外通用照明、显示屏、交通信号灯、景观照明、微型投影机、植物照明灯、医疗用照明设备(如:治疗黄疸用的蓝光灯)等众多领域。
常见的LED芯片的结构形式有四种:(1)传统正装(横向结构):P电极与N电极均设置在芯片的同一侧,缺点是散热能力差,透明电极电流分布不均匀,光提取率不高;(2)倒装结构(Flip Chip):将正装芯片倒置于导电导热性能良好的基板上,使得发热比较集中的发光外延层更接近于散热部件,使大部分热量通过基板导出,本质上没有解决散热和电流拥塞的问题;(3)垂直结构(垂直薄膜Vertical Thin Film):一般是在外延层形成后,将外延层分割成若干绝缘分离的半导体薄膜层,然后P电极和N电极分置于半导体薄膜层两侧形成串联结构,解决了P电极遮光的问题;但是,仍然存在N电极遮挡光子,电流分布不均的问题;(4)薄膜倒装(Thin Film Flip Chip):将薄膜LED与倒装LED的技术结合起来,即薄膜倒装焊接的多量子阱结构的LED。在上述芯片结构的基础上,学术界和工业界还提出多种提高电光转换效率的方法:反射层 (金属反射层、分布式布拉格反射层、全反射层)、图形化衬底、表面粗化、光子晶体技术、透明衬底、激光剥离、欧姆电极形状的优化、芯片形状几何化结构(抛物线、半球形、三角形等)等。尽管如此,电光转换效率低仍然是LED面临的主要技术瓶颈,而电光转换效率又是光电器件,包括LED、激光器、光放大器等元器件的核心技术参数。
更进一步地,电光转换效率主要由电子注入效率、内部量子效率和光导出效率三部分组成。电子注入效率主要由器件内部串阻和并阻有关。其中,串阻主要由金属半导体接触电阻,半导体横向扩散电阻、金属栅线电阻和半导体PN方向的外延层体的电阻组成;并阻主要与器件内部和边缘的漏电有关。内部量子效率主要和器件的内部量子结构,比如量子阱、量子线、量子点的几何特征和能带特征、以及量子阱内部的缺陷密度有关,同时和器件工作温度密切有相关,通常光电器件温度增加1℃,转换效率降低约1%。在正常工作状态下,二极管的PN结通常维持比较高的温度,从50℃到120℃。温度每升高10℃,光通量就会衰减1%,LED发光波长会漂移1~2nm。所以,不能将芯片热量及时排出,将无法获得稳定的光输出。光导出率受器件出光面半导体材料的光学折射率限制。以磷化镓铟(GaInP)为例,在红光波段折射率约为3.3,出光面的全反射角小于16度,光导出效率约2.5%。
在专利文献1中,公开了用于制造光电子半导体芯片的方法和光电子半导体芯片。具体地,该技术方案是在半导体层序列上,设置延伸穿过有源区的凹部,用金属增强层覆盖半导体层序列并至少部分填充凹部,使得凹部内的金属增强层在横向方向上,至少局部地环绕半导体本体。如此产生的技术效果是,将表面电极转移至背面,消除表面金属电极的挡光效应,利用金属表面反射光子,对出光效率虽有所改善,但仍嫌不足;而且,散热效果、电流拥塞和电光 转换的量子效率仍然有很大的改善空间。
在专利文献2中,公开了从上至下依次N型GaN层、发光层MQW、P型GaN层、透明导电薄膜、不导电的高反射膜,以及贯穿其中的导电孔洞;N型欧姆接触电极柱填充导电孔洞,对散热效果虽有所改善,但仍嫌不足;电流拥塞和电光转换的量子效率、侧壁逸光等问题没有得到解决。

具体实施方式
以下实施例旨在更好地理解本发明的实质,并非将本发明局限于所描述的实施例。此外,术语“第一”、“第二”用于区分描述,而不能理解为指示或暗示相对重要性。在实施例的描述中,采用了半导体薄膜层上表面、半导体薄膜层下表面等概念。应当理解,这里所说的“上”和“下”是相对于光格结构的出光方向而言,即“上”是指朝向光格出光方向的一侧,“下”是指远离光格出光方向的一侧。
对于本领域的普通技术人员而言,可以理解在不脱离本发明的原理的情况下,对这些实施例进行变化,仍可获得本发明的有益效果。
本发明公开的薄膜型半导体芯片结构,其明显区别于现有的传统正装(横向结构)、倒装结构、垂直结构(也称垂直薄膜结构)和薄膜倒装结构,发明人将其命名为“光格结构”。该结构将用作电极的P型金属和N型金属其中之一作为衬底,另一金属作为金属侧壁。金属侧壁与金属衬底绝缘连接,形成立体的光学反射腔体。在光学反射腔体顶部覆盖有第一透明导电层,并在光学反射腔体中设置至少一个光电转换层,形成“光格”;相应地,这种结构就是“光格结构”。从技术效果上讲,金属侧壁与金属衬底相对于光子都是高反射层; 在封闭的光学反射腔体的反射作用下,光子仅能透过光格顶部的第一透明导电层进出。
需要说明的是,光电转换层是将光能和电能进行转换的薄膜型半导体器件结构。当光电转换层为将电能转换成光能的薄膜型半导体时,光格就成为发光单元,可以用于LED、激光器、光放大器;当光电转换层为将光能转换成电能的薄膜型半导体时,光格就成为电能的生成单元,可以用于光伏电池,包括激光光伏电池和太阳能光伏电池。
下面结合附图对本发明作进一步说明:
实施例1
如图1所示,本发明实施例1的薄膜型半导体芯片结构可以由一个或多个光格100组成。光格100包括,用作电极的金属衬底108和金属侧壁109,金属衬底108与金属侧壁109相互绝缘连接形成光学反射腔体1(如图2A和2B所示);在光学反射腔体1的顶部覆盖第一透明导电层102,第一透明导电层102与金属侧壁109电连接,使得光格100形成封闭结构。如图2A和图2B所示,在金属衬底108和金属侧壁109的反射作用下,光子仅能透过光格顶部的第一透明导电层102射出。在光格内部,光学反射腔体1中设置能够将光能和电能进行互相转换的光电转换层104。并且,光电转换层104串联在金属衬底108与第一透明导电层102之间,第一透明导电层102与金属侧壁109实现电连接。光电转换层104通过腔体1内金属侧壁109表面覆盖的电气绝缘层1091,确保与金属侧壁109绝缘。电气绝缘层1091主要由绝缘透光氧化物或者氮化物(比如氧化硅、氮化硅、氧化铝),聚合有机物(乙烯-四氟乙烯共聚物ETFE、聚对苯二甲酸乙二酯PET,聚丙烯PP,聚酰亚胺PI等)一种或多种组成,以获得更好的绝缘性能。需要注意的是,聚合有机物须选用无色材料,避免对光子的吸 收。
在发明中光电转换层104可以采用薄膜型半导体制备工艺制作的PN结,如图3所示,PN结在正向偏压下,高浓度电子和空穴分别从N型半导体区域和P型半导体区域注入有源区发生复合。如果采用常规的同质PN结的半导体器件结构,将会有大量的载流子不能在有源区发生复合产生光子,电能会通过其他形式的热能耗散掉,使得电能转化为光能的效率低下。在实施例中,光电转换层104采用多量子阱结构。多量子阱结构是发生电子-空穴辐射复合的区域,通常采用单个或者多个量子阱结构。量子阱本身就是一种具有量子限制效应的电子能带结构。光格结构能够提高量子效率,其良好的散热效果能有效的降低热能损耗,使得更多的载流子能够在多量子阱(MQW)结构的有源区发生复合,产生光子,并利用光学反射腔体1避免光子侧壁逃逸和衬底吸收。
采用III-V族磷化物半导体材料体系(GaInP/AlGaInP/AllnP),可以产生波长为570nm到680nm的红黄光。以产生650nm的波长的红光为例,量子阱的阱区采用Ga 0.5In 0.5P材料,阱的厚度在3~10nm,量子阱的势垒区采用Al 0.5Ga 0.25In 0.25P,势垒区厚度在10~30nm。单量子阱包含两个势垒区和一个阱区,累计厚度在30~50nm。多量子阱就是一层阱和一层势垒周期重复,单量子阱的叠加,总厚度通常在1000nm以下。如此,光格结构就可以大幅度降低非辐射复合的载流子以热能的形式消耗电能,提高能量转换效率、量子效率和出光率。光电转换层104还可以采用其他电能转换成光能的半导体结构,比如:双面异质PN结、多量子线结构、多量子点结构、超晶格结构等。特别地,光电转换层104可以是多层结构。如图4所示,具有两层光电转换层,自上而下分别是多量子阱层1041和双面异质PN结层1042,相互之间用隧穿结连接;二者也可以交换位置,即双面异质PN结层1041和多量子阱层1042。
金属衬底108作为正电极P型金属,有四个核心功能。第一提供金属电极,实现器件和外部电源的电气连接;第二实现高的光学反射率,实现器件内部产生的光子能够全部从器件底部反射;第三提供是一种优异的热导体,器件在大功率(大电流密度)条件下工作时,可以有效导出器件内部的热量,有利于器件长期高效率高可靠性的工作。第四为整个薄膜化器件提供可靠的机械支撑,金属电极厚度可以根据器件的尺寸大小进行调整,数值范围通常在10μm~300μm。金属衬底自上而下依次是半导体金属接触层、金属支撑层和导热层。通常地,(1)半导体金属接触层厚度在10~300nm之间,主要由有利形成欧姆接触和高反射率的金属材料组成,比如金、钯、银、铂、铝、铟、铜、镍、钛中的一种或多种组成;(2)金属支撑层通常由所述金属支撑层和所述导热层主要由铜、银、铝、金、铂、鉬、镍、铬中的一种或多种组成。(3)导热层通常由所述金属支撑层和所述导热层主要由铜、银、铝、金、铂、鉬、镍、铬中的一种或多种组成。金属衬底108作为支撑结构,具有优异的柔韧性和可弯折型;相比采用在刚性衬底(如硅衬底、砷化镓衬底、氧化铝衬底)的光电器件,具有更加广泛和灵活的应用场景。
金属侧壁109作为负电极N型金属,电连接第一透明导电层102,延伸穿过整个多量子阱发光层104,并用透明绝缘材料和被穿透的外延结构层实现电气绝缘。金属侧壁109有三个核心功能:第一、提供金属电极,实现器件和外部电源的电气连接。第二、实现高的光学反射率,形成光格结构的侧壁封闭的光学反射腔体1。金属侧壁109和金属衬底108,形成只能上表面出光的光格结构,实现器件内部产生的光子能够全部从器件表面导出。第三、提供一种优异的热导体,器件在大功率(大电流密度)条件下工作时,可以有效导出器件内部的热量,有利于器件长期高效率高可靠性的工作。为了避免光子发生垂直反射的情况, 在光格100内的金属侧壁109的表面可为平面或曲面,对光子进行反射;也可选随机粗糙面,对光子产生散射作用(参阅《随机粗糙面散射的基本理论与方法》,科学出版社,ISBN:9787030261243);并且,光格100内的金属侧壁109表面与金属衬底108的上表面夹角呈钝角,有利于光子在光学反射腔体内的反射,提高出光效率。
光格100在金属衬底108和金属侧壁109的共同作用下,一方面,实现了实现高的光学反射率,实现器件内部产生的光子能够经金属衬底108和金属侧壁109反射,避免光子从侧壁逃逸和被衬底吸收而导致的能量损失;另一方面,由于金属材料的固有特性,光格100的立体金属导热结构提供了优良的热传导路径,立体的光格结构的导热效率可以达到平面金属基板结构的3倍以上,可以大幅降低器件的内部温度,在大电流密度条件下工作时,可以有效导出器件内部的热量,有利于器件长期高效率高可靠性的工作;再一方面,由于金属材料的柔韧性和可弯折型,使得光格100比刚性衬底(如硅衬底、砷化镓衬底、氧化铝衬底)的光电器件,具有更加广泛和灵活的应用场景;又一方面,电子注入效率和串阻密切相关,光格结构使用金属衬底108和金属侧壁109,相比需要半导体材料导电的传统栅线结构,更有利于降低串阻。
如图5A和图5B所示,对于横截面呈六边形的金属侧壁109,第一透明导电层102能够使得来自金属侧壁109的电子,在发光平面上做扩展,有效地解决了电流拥塞的问题,提高电流扩展效率。电荷流向金属侧壁,使得电流均匀分布。第一透明导电层102的厚度优选的在0.5μm和5μm之间,需要根据光格的横向扩展距离,也就是光学反射腔体1内空间的横向距离,发光器件的电流密度等因素来确定导电层材料的电阻率(厚度和掺杂浓度)。同时还需要该导电层不吸收器件发光层产生的光子,要求透明导电层的禁带宽度(E g)大于器 件产生的光子的能量(E ph)。第一透明导电层102通常选用:由蒸镀、溅射、化学沉积等工艺制备的氧化铟锡、氧化镓铟锌、氧化锌等透明氧化物导体,或者宽禁带半导体,比如在III-V族氮化物半导体器件中采用Al xGa 1-xN、Al xGa yln 1-x-yN,在III-V族磷化物半导体器件中采用Al xIn 1-xP、Al xGa 1-xP、Al xGa yIn 1-x-yP;在III-V族砷化物半导体器件中采用Al xGa 1-xAs、Al xGa yln 1-x-yAs,在III-V族锑化物半导体器件中采用Al xGa 1-xSb、Al xGa yln 1-x-ySb,在III-V族砷磷化物半导体器件中采用Al xGa 1-xAs zP 1-z、Al xGa yln 1-x-yAs zP 1-z;在III-V族砷锑化物半导体器件中采用Al xGa 1-xAs zSb 1-z、Al xGa yln 1-x-yAs zSb 1-z其中x,y为III族原子间的摩尔量比值;z为V族原子间的摩尔比值,x,y,z取值在0~1之间。不同的x,y值对应不同的禁带宽度,通常采用外延技术制备。
实施例2
下面根据附图6详细说明本公开的另一个实施例。
实施例2是在实施例1的基础上另一个具体实施方式,光格200利用外延结构薄膜层,进一步提升将电能转换成光能的转换效率,最终提高出光率。需要说明的是,外延结构薄膜层指的是在衬底上使用外延工艺生长的薄膜层。
如图6所示,光电转换层采用将电能转换成光能的多量子阱发光层204,自上而下在第一透明导电层202和金属衬底208之间依次以串联方式形成电连接:第一电流限制层203、多量子阱发光层204、第二电流限制层205、第二透明导电层206和粗化层207,同时须与金属侧壁209绝缘,并在第一透明导电层202的上表面覆盖增透层201,光子从增透层201的上表面2011射出,使得采用光格结构的薄膜型半导体出光率显著提高。
图5A示出的实施例1光格横截面形状为六边形,仅仅为优选情形之一。事实上,光格横截面可以为呈封闭的任意几何形状。
以产生为570nm到680nm的红黄光的III-V族磷化物半导体材料体系(GaInP/AlGaInP/AllnP)为例。第一电流限制层203和第二电流限制层205,采用AlGalnP或者AllnP材料,并在多量子阱发光层204两侧对称设置,优选的厚度在80~150nm。第一电流限制层203和第二电流限制层205共同构成电子-空穴空间限制结构,提高电子-空穴的复合几率,从而提高光电器件的内部量子效率。通常第一电流限制层203和第二电流限制层205的晶格常数和外延衬底的晶格常数保持一致,材料禁带宽度(E g)大于多量子阱发光层204的产生光子能量(E ph)。第一电流限制层203和第二电流限制层205在III-V族氮化物半导体器件中采用Al xGa 1-xN、Al xGa yln 1-x-yN,在III-V族磷化物半导体器件中采用Al xIn 1-xP、Al xGa 1-xP、Al xGa yIn 1-x-yP,在III-V族砷化物半导体器件中采用Al xGa 1-xAs、Al xGa yln 1-x-yAs,在III-V族锑化物半导体器件中采用Al xGa 1-xSb、Al xGa yln 1-x-ySb,在III-V族砷磷化物半导体器件中采用Al xGa 1-xAs zP 1-z、Al xGa yln 1-x-yAs zP 1-z,或者在III-V族砷锑化物半导体器件中采用Al xGa 1-xAs zSb 1-z、Al xGa yln 1-x-yAs zSb 1-z,其中x,y为III族原子间的摩尔量比值;z为V族原子间的摩尔比值,x,y,z取值在0~1之间。
在多量子阱发光层204中,以产生650nm的波长的红光为例,量子阱的阱区采用Ga 0.5In 0.5P材料,阱的厚度在3~10nm,量子阱的势垒区采用Al 0.5Ga 0.25In 0.25P,势垒区厚度在10~30nm。单量子阱包含两个势垒区和一个阱区,累计厚度在30~50nm。多量子阱就是一层阱和一层势垒周期重复,单量子阱的叠加,总厚度通常在1000nm以下。特别地,在红光到蓝绿光的发光波长范围,使用金属有机化学气相淀积(MOCVD)技术或者分子式外延(MBE)技术,外延生长四元系AlGaInP基发光PN二极管的内量子效率可以超过95%。
第二透明导电层206要求其禁带宽度(E g)大于器件产生的光子的能量(E ph) 的宽禁带宽度半导体,宽禁带半导体比如III-V族氮化物半导体器件中的Al xGa 1-xN、Al xGa yln 1-x-yN,III-V族磷化物半导体器件中的Al xIn 1-xP、Al xGa 1-xP、Al xGa yIn 1-x-yP,III-V族砷化物半导体器件中的Al xGa 1-xAs、Al xGa yln 1-x-yAs,III-V族锑化物半导体器件中的Al xGa 1-xSb、Al xGa yln 1-x-ySb,III-V族砷磷化物半导体器件中的Al xGa 1-xAs zP 1-z、Al xGa yln 1-x-yAs zP 1-z,III-V族砷锑化物半导体器件中的Al xGa 1-xAs zSb 1-z、Al xGa yln 1-x-yAs zSb 1-z,其中x,y为III族原子间的摩尔量比值;z为V族原子间的摩尔比值,x,y,z取值在0~1之间;通常采用外延技术制备。在金属衬底208作为正电极、金属侧壁209作为负电极的情况下,透明导电层206在高效导通电子的条件下不吸收光子。
粗化层207主要目的是协助光子在背面反射层产生随机反射角,从而协助实现光子器件表面克服最大反射角,从器件内部导出,成为有效发光输出。粗化的相关尺寸为有效波长的二分之一时,能够产生光学衍射现象,能达到更好的出光效率。而且,可以采用化学腐蚀或者刻蚀等方式,对第一透明导电层202的表面做粗化处理,使其表面形成微米级的粗糙度,提高出光效率。
增透层201覆盖在第一透明导电层202上表面,是光学增透膜,通常厚度在100nm到1000nm之间,其光学折射率介于半导体(折射率3.0)和空气(折射率1.0);由一层或者多层不同折射率的光学介质膜构成。增透层201的光学折射率与空气相比差距越大,将导致外量子效率降低。光学折射率按照实现最大出光角的要求从3.0逐层变化减小,接近空气的光折射率1.0。为此,光学介质膜的材料通常是氟化物、氮化物、氧化物、硒化物、硫化物或者有机聚合物(乙烯-四氟乙烯共聚物ETFE、聚对苯二甲酸乙二酯PET,聚丙烯PP,聚酰亚胺PI等)中的一种或者多种。
如图6所示,优选地,为了避免光子泄露,金属侧壁209嵌入金属衬底208, 嵌入深度优选小于2000nm。
实施例3
下面根据附图7详细说明本发明公开的另一个实施例。
将多个实施例2的光格排布在一起,则构成“光格阵列”,可以呈蜂窝状。整个器件是由众多光格200聚集形成的蜂窝状发光结构,蜂窝结构中的光格的尺寸可以由光刻精度控制;优选地,每个光格的出光面尺寸范围在10μm~500μm,可以实现极低的器件内阻,实现高效率的电注入效率;蜂窝结构具有立体式的反射结构,只保留器件表面出光,同时消除了表面金属电极的遮光效应,再加上表面多层结构的增透结构,可以超过95%的出光效率;实现了立体的高效率导热结构,当蜂窝尺寸接近半导体薄膜层厚度的数量级(通常10μm)时,光格结构的导热效率是平面金属基板的3倍以上,可以大幅降低器件的内部温度,提高器件内部的电光转换的量子效率。

本发明公开提供了光格结构在光电器件上的应用实施例:有色光LED。
当实施例2的多量子阱发光层204,采用AlInGaN多元合金化合物半导体材料体系,通常能够高效率发光的波长集中360nm至540nm的蓝绿光范围,可以用作红绿蓝显示器的核心器件。另外,因为AlN、GaN和InN的禁带宽度跨度从6.0eV到1.0eV,对应波长为206nm到1240nm,覆盖深紫外到近红外波段,随着材料制备技术的提升,AlInGaN材料体系的高效率发光范围也由360~540nm进一步向短波和长波两个方向拓宽。
为了使实施例2的光格200成为发光波长为450nm的蓝光光格,第一透明导电层202要求导电层的禁带宽度(E g)大于器件产生的光子的能量(E ph)。通常选用:氧化铟锡、氧化镓铟锌、氧化锌等,通常由蒸镀、溅射、化学沉积等方式制备。光格200内设置外延结构薄膜层,具体为:氮化镓铝AlGaN材料的第二透明导电层206、氮化镓铝AlGaN材料(例如Al 0.13Ga 0.87N禁带宽度超过3.6eV)的第一电流限制层203、氮化镓铝AlGaN材料的多量子阱发光层204和第二电流限制层205组成。其中多量子阱发光层204通常由GaN/InGaN纳米级的周期性结构组成,其中InGaN是量子阱区,Ga/In比例在4左右,记为In 0.2Ga 0.8N,是产生电子空穴复合产生光子的区域,有InGaN材料的禁带宽度和量子阱的能级分裂和极化效应共同决定量子阱的发光的中心波长,厚度通常在3nm到5nm,其中GaN是量子势垒区,厚度在10~30nm;也可以是AlInGaN/InGaN的纳米级周期性结构;其中InGaN是量子阱区,厚度通常在3nm到5nm,AlInGaN是量子势垒区,AlInGaN,厚度在10~30nm,能够抵消InGaN量子阱层的极化效应,具备更高的内部量子效率。

采用InGaAs/AlGaInAs多元合金化合物半导体材料体系,通常能够高效率发光的波长集中700nm至2000nm的红光和近红外光范围,可以用作红光医疗、红外成像等领域。
为了使实施例2的光格200成为发光波长为940nm的红外光光格,第一透明导电层202要求导电层的禁带宽度(E g)大于器件产生的光子的能量(E ph)。通常选用:氧化铟锡、氧化镓铟锌、氧化锌等,通常由蒸镀、溅射、化学沉积 等方式制备,也可以AlGaInAs体系,一般采用外延技术制备,包括有机金属气象外延(MOCVD)和分子束外延(MBE)。光格200内设置外延结构薄膜层,具体为:第二透明导电层206、第一电流限制层203(例如Al 0.5Ga 0.5As)、多量子阱发光层204和第二电流限制层205(例如Al 0.5Ga 0.5As)。其中多量子阱发光层204通常由In 0.14Ga 0.86As/Al 0.22Ga 0.88As纳米级的周期性结构组成,其中In 0.14Ga 0.86As是量子阱区,是产生电子空穴复合产生光子的区域,有InGaAs材料的禁带宽度和量子阱的能级分裂共同决定量子阱的发光的中心波长,其中Al 0.22Ga 0.88As是量子势垒区,厚度在10~30nm,量子阱周期数在3到30个。
同样结构也适用于III-V锑化物半导体材料体系(Al xGa yln 1-x-ySb),III-V族砷磷化物半导体体系(Al xGa yln 1-x-yAs zP 1-z),III-V族砷锑化物半导体材料体系(Al xGa yln 1-x-yAs zSb 1-z),其中x,y为III族原子间的摩尔量比值;z为V族原子间的摩尔比值,其中x,y,z取值范围是大于等于0,小于等于1的闭合区间。这类材料通常能够高效率发光的波长集中2500nm至4000nm中红外光范围,可以用作远程红外探测等领域。

实施例7
如图8所示,本公开提供了一个薄膜型半导体芯片结构的实施例又一方面。薄膜型半导体芯片结构可以由一个或多个光格300组成,用作大功率激光发生器或者光放大器。
大部分光子产生后,立刻通过光格结构的光学反射腔体,射出有源区,也有少部分光子在P-N半导体薄膜内传播,在经过已激发的电子-空穴对时,能够激励二者复合产生一个新的光子,发生半导体的受激辐射。这样的受激辐射能够随着注入电流的增大而发展。现有技术已经表明,通过受激辐射达到发射激光的要求,需要具备三个基本条件:(1)能够产生足够的粒子数反转;(2)具有一个合适的谐振腔,能够用以在腔内产生激光振荡;(3)泵浦能量满足一定的阈值条件,使得腔内的光子增益大于光子损耗。本公开的光格结构提供的解决方案,充分满足这三点要求。封闭的光格结构避免光子逃逸和被衬底吸收的光子损耗;光学反射腔体为激光振荡提供了良好的谐振腔;能量转换过程中,减少非辐射复合的热能损耗,大大提高量子效率,能够提供更多的用于反转的粒子数。
以发光波长为940nm的红外光为例,在实施例5的基础上,第一透明导电层302上表面自上而下依次覆盖增透层310和布拉格反射镜层(简称:DBR层)301。DBR可以是折射率差别大两种透明光学介质的周期性结构,比如氧化钛/氧化铝薄膜(TiO x/AlO y),每层的厚度是激光器出射光有效波长的四分之一,也可以是AlGaAs/GaAs周期性结构,每层的厚度是激光器出射光有效波长的四分之一。
光格300的第一透明导电层302要求,导电层的禁带宽度(E g)大于器件产生的光子的能量(E ph)。通常选用:氧化铟锡(ITO)、氧化镓铟锌(IGZO),氧化锌(ZnO)等,通常由蒸镀、溅射、化学沉积等方式制备,也可以是AlGaAs材料体系,或者禁带宽度比AlGaInAs体系的更高的AlGaInP半导体材料体系,一般采用外延技术制备,包括有机金属气象外延(MOCVD)和分子束外延(MBE)。第一透明导电层302与金属侧壁309电连接。光格300内设置有激光器发光结。 激光器发光结包括:AlGaAs半导体材料(例如Al 0.5Ga 0.5As)的第一电流限制层303、AlGaAs半导体材料的多量子阱发光层304和第二电流限制层305自上而下依次串联,且均与金属侧壁309绝缘。特别地,多量子阱发光层304为InGaAs和AlGaAs,对特定波长的光可以由In 0.14Ga 0.86As/Al 0.22Ga 0.88As纳米级的周期性结构组成,其中In 0.14Ga 0.86As是量子阱区,是产生电子空穴复合产生光子的区域,由InGaAs材料的禁带宽度和量子阱的能级分裂共同决定量子阱的发光的中心波长,其中Al 0.22Ga 0.88As是量子势垒区,厚度在10~30nm左右,量子阱的周期数在3到30个。
可选地,为进一步提高发光效率,光格300内,自上而下与激光器发光结还串联了AlGaAs材料的第二透明导电层306和分布式布拉格反射层(Distributed Bragg Reflector),简称DBR反射层307。DBR反射层307由AlGaAs/GaAs周期性结构组成。DBR层通常有折射率相差较大的光学介质材料按照1/4有效波长厚度周期性排列的结构,周期数在3到30个;对单色高具有极高的反射率。
在实际应用中,第一电流限制层、具有多量子阱结构、双面异质PN结、多量子线结构、多量子点结构或超晶格结构的光电转换层和第二电流限制层,形成激光器发光结的单结结构;为了提高激光器的效率,可以采用多个激光器发光结串联的方式工作。一般地,多结激光器发光单元常常是双结或三结的结构。
实施例8
如图9所示,本公开提供了一个薄膜型半导体芯片结构的实施例再一方面“单结光伏电池”。光格结构的薄膜型半导体芯片还可以应用于将光能转换成电能,即光伏效应。该过程一般分成三个阶段:(1)半导体中电子吸收来自外部光源(太阳、激光、各种荧光)的光子,光子激发电子,产生电子-空穴对,且这些非平衡载流子有足够的寿命,在分离前不会复合消失;(2)产生的非平 衡载流子,在内建电场作用下完成电子-空穴对分离,电子集中在N型半导体一边,空穴集中P型半导体一边,在PN结两边产生异性电荷积累,从而产生光生电动势;(3)把PN结用导线连接,形成电流并通过外电路向负载供电,即可获得有效功率输出。光格结构能降低暗电流,更高效地完成电子-空穴对的分离,从而提高光伏效应中从光能到电能的转换效率。
薄膜型半导体芯片结构可以由一个或多个光格400组成,用作大功率激光电池和高倍率太阳电池。以吸收波长范围从300到900nm的砷化镓单结电池为例,可以用于吸收大功率的激光能量,比如发射波长为808nm,能量密度在10W/cm 2以上,或者高倍聚光太阳能电池,聚光倍数在100倍以上,光能量密度也超过10W/cm 2
在光格400顶部设置第一透明导电层402,导电层的禁带宽度(E g)大于入射器件光子的能量(E ph)。通常选用:氧化铟锡(ITO)、氧化镓铟锌(IGZO),氧化锌(ZnO)等,通常由蒸镀、溅射、化学沉积等方式制备。第一透明导电层402与金属侧壁409电连接,金属衬底408和金属侧壁409构成光学反射腔体。在光伏效应下,第一透明导电层402使得电流均匀分布,避免电流拥塞,提高电流的收集效率,有利于光能向电能的转化。光格400内设置具有光子吸收结构的光电转换层404。需要说明的是,光电转换层404的光子吸收结构含有半导体材料,能够产生电子激发的作用,电子可以吸收光子能量,可以实现较高的光能-电能转换效率。本实施例中,光电转换层404主要由N型GaAs层和P型GaAs层构成,N型GaAs厚度通常在100nm左右,掺杂浓度在10 18cm -3以上,P型GaAs厚度通常在3000nm左右,掺杂浓度在10 17cm -3。图10示出了,具有光子吸收结构的光电转换层404在内建电场作用下电子-空穴对分离。
实施例9
如图11A所示,本实施例是基于实施例8的另一个具体实施方式“单结光伏电池”,进一步提高将光能转换成电能的效率。光格500内设置有光伏电池光电吸收结。光伏电池光电吸收结主要组成为第一钝化层、光电转换层、第二钝化层。
本实施例的实施方式是,自上而下在第一透明导电层502和金属衬底508之间依次以串联方式形成电连接且均与金属侧壁509绝缘,包括:AlGaAs材料的第二透明导电层506、第一钝化层503、具有光子吸收结构的光电转换层504和第二钝化层505。其中,第一钝化层503为AllnP半导体材料(例如Al 0.5ln 0.5P),厚度30nm。第一钝化层503的作用是钝化光子吸收结构的表面缺陷的能态,降低光生空穴在光子吸收结构的表面复合速率,从而提高电池的开路电压。粗化层507主要目的是协助光子在背面反射层产生随机反射角,从而协助实现光伏电池光程长度,提高504的吸收能力。第一透明导电层502上表面覆盖有增透层501。
第二钝化层505为AllnP、AlGalnP或者AlGaAs半导体材料(例如Al 0.5ln 0.5P,Al 0.25Ga 0.25ln 0.5P,Al 0.6Ga 0.4As)。第二钝化层的作用和第一钝化层相似,降低光生电子在光子吸收结构的表面复合速率。第二透明导电层506,要求其禁带宽度(E g)大于入射器件光子的能量(E ph)的宽禁带宽度半导体,宽禁带半导体比如Al xln 1-xP、Al xGa 1-xP、Al xGa yln 1-x-yP或者Al xGa 1-xAs,其中x,y取值在0~1之间。不同的x,y值对应不同的禁带宽度,通常采用外延技术制备。
具有光子吸收结构的光电转换层504包含(1)N型Ga 0.5ln 0.5P,厚度优选的50nm,掺杂浓度优选的10 18cm -3;(2)P型GaAs,厚度优选的1500~3000nm,掺杂浓度优选的10 17cm -3。第二钝化层505采用p型Al 0.25Ga 0.25ln 0.5P或者Al 0.5Ga 0.5As薄膜,厚度优选的100nm,掺杂浓度优选的10 18cm -3数量级。
实施例10
如图11B所示,本实施例是相对于实施例9的另一个具体实施方式“多结光伏电池”,进一步提高将光能转换成电能的效率,即,光格600内可以设置多个光伏电池光电吸收结。
光电转换层的光子吸收结构属于带隙的半导体材料,光子的能量不同,为了吸收光子能量大于带隙的光,避免大于带隙的部分能量通过热电子的形式损失掉;进一步地,本实施例公开了采用多结的结构,可以有效利用不同能量的光子。在光格结构可以多个光电转换层串联的结构,如图11B所示。在激光电池中为了提高输出电压,每个光电转换层的吸收截止波长相同;在太阳能电池中为了拓宽吸收光谱范围,从而提高光电转换效率,每个光电转换层的吸收截止波长不同,单个光电转换层的太阳能电池的最高光电转换效率33%,三个光电转换层的太阳能电池的最高光电转换效率达到66%。
每个光伏电池光电吸收结吸收结构可以有相同的吸收截止波长。如图11B示出多结激光光伏电池的多个光电吸收结:603光电吸收结-1、……605光电吸收结-N,也可以是不同的截止波长,比如多结太阳能电池。光伏电池的材料选择比发光器件更为广泛。可以是II-VI族,III-V族,IV族半导体,也可以是钙钛矿类或者有机半导体。
简言之,采用“光格结构”的薄膜型半导体发光器件,能够在导光、导热和导电三方面接近理论最优值,大幅提升大功率发光器的电光转换效率和能量密度,突破现有技术的发光器件的电光转换效率瓶颈,并适合于微米级至厘米级的器件尺寸。
上述实施例只是本发明的较佳实施例,并不是对本发明技术方案的限制。凡未偏离本发明的实质,在上述实施例的基础上,依照本发明的教导所实施的 简单变换、等同替代、改进即可实现的技术方案,均应视为落入本发明专利的权利保护范围内。
