Infrared-ultraviolet multi-color detector and production process thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses an infrared-ultraviolet multicolor detector and a preparation method thereof. The detector comprises a substrate, a multicolor detector table which is formed by orderly growing an AlN buffer layer, an n-type GaN/AlGaN emission layer, an undoped AlGaN barrier layer, an n-type AlGaN window contact layer, an undoped AlGaN absorbing layer, a p-type AlGaN limiting window layer and a p-type GaN contact layer on the substrate; an n-type bottom contact electrode is arranged on the n-type GaN/AlGaN emission layer, an n-type intermediate contact electrode is arranged on the n-type AlGaN window contact layer, and a p-type top contact electrode is arranged on the p-type GaN contact layer. The detector has the advantages of simple structure, easy growth, small volume, being capable of realizing triband response and the like. The detector simplifies the growth process and the processing technology of the device structure, improves the radioresistance capacity of the device, reduces the device volume and lowers the cost. The detector has significant application prospects in the fields of target imaging, alarming, monitoring and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of photodetectors, in particular to an infrared-ultraviolet multicolor detector and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] All objects emit thermal radiation related to their temperature and properties, with most of the thermal radiation from objects near ambient temperature in the infrared band. Infrared radiation occupies a fairly wide electromagnetic wave band (0.8 μm ~ 1000 μm). It can be seen that infrared radiation provides rich information of the objective world, and making full use of this information is the goal pursued by people. At present, the detection technology of infrared radiation is very mature, and it is widely used in military and civilian applications, such as infrared imaging, infrared early warning, infrared monitoring, etc. In contrast, the false alarm rate of ultraviolet radiation detection is much lower, but the detection distance is shorter. In recent years,...

Problems solved by technology

The current common technical solution is generally to simply combine independent infrared band detectors and ultraviolet band detectors to form an infrared/ultraviolet multicolor detector, but its packaging is complicated, large in size and high in cost, which is not conducive to system integration

In recent years, a GaN/AlGaN monolithic integrated infrared/ultraviolet detector structure based on the idea of ​​HEIWIP has been reported abroad. However, du
