Problems solved by technology

In this structure, in order to increase the transmission rate of the APD chip, the thickness D1 of the absorption layer 300 is usually reduced to less than 1um to achieve the purpose of shortening the transit time of photogenerated carriers; and at the same time, the Zn diffusion diameter of the light absorption region 800 D2 is reduced to less than 20um. This design structure can usually make the APD chip meet the requirements of 10G transmission rate, but there are the following problems: 1. Because the thickness of the InGaAs absorbing layer 300 is too thin, resulting in low photoresponsivity, the design structure made The receiving sensitivity of the 10G APD chip is difficult to meet the application requirements of -26dBm; 2. Because the absorption diameter of the light absorption area 800 is too small, the coupling efficiency of the chip is extremely low, and it is difficult to meet the production and use requirements
However, in order to meet the requirement of high bandwidth, it is still necessary to reduce the Zn diffusion diameter D2 of the light absorption region 800 to less than 20um, so the APD chip of this method still has the problem of low coupling efficiency and it is difficult to meet the use requirements.
At present, the third approach is to use InAlAs superlattice and mesa structure to realize together, such as image 3 As shown, different from the APD chip with the traditional InGaAs / InP / InGaAsP structure, the multiplication layer of the APD chip with this structure is mainly composed of the superlattice 204 composed of AlInAs / AlGaInAs, because AlInAs has a higher electron space than the traditional InP material Cave ionization coefficient ratio, so the APD chip with this structure has a high multiplier response, and because of the mesa structure design, the capacitance and chip distribution parameters of the chip have been reduced, which can meet the requirements of 10G optical transmission network. However, the APD chip with this structure also has a difficult manufacturing process. The AlInAs / AlGaInAs superlattice structure requires the thickness of each layer to be accurately controlled to less than 1nm, which is difficult to achieve for the usual manufacturing process.
In addition, due to the mesa structure used in this structure, there is also a certain reliability risk in the long-term reliability of the chip
Therefore, there is still a lack of a high-speed APD chip for 10G optical transmission networks that is truly practical and can be mass-produced with excellent performance.
