Abstract

The invention is suitable for chip manufacturing field, and provides a manufacturing method of photo diodes, which comprises the following steps: preparing an epitaxial wafer according to photo diode architecture; machining the epitaxial wafer for finally obtaining a p contact metal layer, an n contact metal layer, and performing thermal treatment; after thermal treatment, forming a high-reflection metal layer through photo-etching, electronic beam evaporating and stripping processes; and obtaining a photo diode chip through cleavage. According to the technical solution of the manufacturing method, after the p contact metal layer and the n contact metal layer are all manufactured, and furthermore all thermal treatments are performed, a high-reflection metal layer is formed. The reflection rate of the high-reflection metal layer can be improved to above 75%, and responsibility of the photo diode is effectively improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of chip manufacturing, in particular to a method for manufacturing a photodiode. Background technique [0002] In optical communication, the detector is required to receive the optical signal, and the responsivity of the detector is usually improved to improve the sensitivity of the detector. In the design of high-speed detectors, in order to increase the working rate of the detector, its bandwidth needs to be increased, so the thickness of the absorption region needs to be reduced, and reducing the absorption region will reduce the detector responsivity. For example, when the thickness of the InGaAs absorption region is reduced to 1um, The responsivity will be reduced to 0.61A / W (1550nm wavelength), and the reduction of responsivity will reduce the sensitivity of the detector. Since the absorption area of ​​the high-speed detector is small, such as a 25-40Gb / s detector, the diameter of the absorption area Usually 5 ...
