Abstract

The invention discloses a vertical-type avalanche photodiode and a fabrication method thereof. The avalanche photodiode fabrication method comprises steps: a vertical mesa is etched until an In0.53Ga0.47As sacrificial layer; the side wall and the upper surface of the mesa are passivated; the In0.53Ga0.47As sacrificial layer is corroded and removed to realize substrate stripping; an optical antireflection film is prepared on the surface of an N-type InP ohmic contact layer; a P contact metal layer and an N contact metal layer are prepared on the upper surface and the lower surface, and a flat high-reflective mirror metal layer is then formed on the P contact metal layer. Through effective combination between the optical antireflection film and the flat high-reflective mirror metal layer, the response of the avalanche photodiode can be effectively improved. The high-response vertical-type InP / In0.53Ga0.47As avalanche photodiode has the advantages of low cost, simple fabrication process and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of high-sensitivity infrared detectors, in particular to a preparation method of high-responsivity avalanche photodiodes. Background technique [0002] Avalanche photodiodes have broad application prospects in many weak light detection fields, such as military and civilian applications. Compared with PIN detectors, avalanche photodiodes are semiconductor optoelectronic devices with internal photocurrent gain, which use the impact ionization effect of photogenerated carriers in the depletion layer to obtain avalanche multiplication of photocurrent. With the increase of the speed of the optical communication system, the contradiction between the quantum efficiency and the bandwidth of the device becomes more serious. In order to improve the frequency response of the avalanche photodiode, it is necessary to reduce the epitaxial thickness of the absorber layer. However, reducing the thickness of the absorber layer will r...
