Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, due to the large lattice mismatch (about 4%) between the Si substrate and the Ge epitaxial layer, the Ge epitaxial layer prepared by the conventional two-step process suffers from poor GeSi interface, high thermal budget, long process cycle, and Problems such as high dislocation density restrict the improvement of the performance of Ge infrared LED light-emitting devices

Abstract

The invention relates to an infrared LED and a fabrication method thereof. The method comprises the steps of selecting a Si substrate; growing a Ge epitaxial layer on a surface of the Si substrate; depositing a protection layer on a surface of the Ge epitaxial layer; crystallizing the Si substrate, the Ge epitaxial layer and the protection layer by an LRC process; etching the protection layer to form a crystallized Ge layer; doping the crystallized Ge layer to form a P-type crystallization Ge layer; continuously growing the Ge layer, an N-type Ge layer and an N-type Si layer on the P-type crystallization Ge layer; and fabricating a metal electrode, and finally, forming the infrared LED. With the adoption of the Laser Re-crystallization (LRC) process, the dislocation density, the surface roughness and the interface defect of a Ge virtual substrate can be effectively reduced, and the quality of the Ge virtual substrate is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of integrated circuits, in particular to an infrared LED and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Semiconductor integrated circuits are the foundation of the electronics industry, and people's huge demand for the electronics industry has prompted the rapid development of this field. And has been following the development of Moore's law. With the gradual reduction of feature size, a series of problems such as transmission delay and bandwidth density have appeared in the electrical interconnection of integrated circuits. Therefore, optical interconnection has become a better choice for modern integrated circuits, and the conversion of electrical signals into optical signals by light-emitting tubes is one of the key components of optoelectronic integration. [0003] At present, semiconductor light sources mainly use III-V semiconductor materials, but their shortcomings such as high price...
