Porous-DBR-based InGaN-based resonant cavity enhanced detector chip

Abstract

The invention relates to a porous-DBR-based InGaN-based resonant cavity enhanced detector chip comprising a substrate, a buffer layer formed on the substrate, a bottom porous DBR layer formed on the buffer layer, an n type GaN layer formed on the bottom porous DBR layer, an active region formed on the n type GaN layer, a p type GaN layer formed in the active region, a side wall passivation layer, a transparent conductive layer, an n electrode, a p electrode, and a top dielectric DBR layer. The one side of the n type GaN layer is formed downwardly to form a table board and a protrusion is formed at the other side of the n type GaN layer. The side wall passivation layer is formed at the upper surface of the p type GaN layer and the side walls of the protruding n type GaN layer, the active region, and the p type GaN layer; and a window is formed in the middle of the side wall passivation layer formed at the upper surface of the p type GaN layer. The transparent conductive layer is formed at the upper surfaces of the side wall passivation layer and the p type GaN layer at the window. The n electrode is formed on the table board of the n type GaN layer. The p electrode is manufactured around the upper surface of the side wall passivation layer. And the top dielectric DBR layer is formed on the transparent conductive layer and the p electrode.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a vertical cavity surface resonator enhanced photodetector, in particular to an InGaN-based vertical cavity surface resonant enhanced detector chip based on a porous Bragg reflector (DBR). Background technique [0002] At present, visible light communication has shown broad application prospects in the fields of smart homes and smart cities. As an important part of the visible light communication system, the photoelectric conversion efficiency and response speed of the light receiving end will directly restrict the transmission distance and transmission rate of visible light communication. At present, the optical receiving end mostly adopts traditional Si-based or GaAs, GaP-based and other commercial semiconductor visible light detectors, but such traditional detectors are susceptible to background signal interference in outdoor complex communication environments. GaN and its ternary compounds AlGaN and InGaN have the characte...
