Abstract

The invention discloses an InGaN-based MSM visible light photoelectric detector with a groove-type electrode structure. The device structure comprises a substrate (10) and an epitaxial layer growing on the substrate (10), wherein the epitaxial layer includes, sequentially from bottom to top, a buffer layer (11), a transition layer (12), an unintentional doping InxGa1-xN active layer (13), and an inserting-finger-shaped electrode (14) and an inserting-finger-shaped electrode (15), which have a schottky metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) device structure and are coated on an InxGa1-xN active layer (13), wherein the electrode (14) is deposited on the surface of a primordial InxGa1-xN(13), and the electrode (15) is deposited in an inserting-finger-shaped groove (16). The groove (16) is formed on the active layer (13) through etching by a dry method or wet method. Compared with a conventional planar MSM structure, An InGaN-based MSM visible light photoelectric detector with a groove-type electrode structure uses groove sidewall to block leakage current of carriers due to range transition of InGaN original surface, thereby substantially reducing the dark current of the detector. The groove electrode improves the field distribution between electrodes, thereby effectively improving photoelectric current.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of optoelectronics, and more specifically, to an InGaN-based MSM visible light photodetector with a grooved electrode structure. Background technique [0002] Visible light communication (Visible Light Communication, VLC) technology is gradually emerging. The Si-based, AlGaAs, and GaP-based detectors used in VLC systems today not only have the problem of low detection sensitivity caused by the inconsistency between the response peak and the main emission wavelength of the light source. Moreover, there are disadvantages of cost increase, volume increase, and filter weakening of the incident optical signal caused by the need for an external optical filter. Although the GaP-based photodetector responds in the visible light band, because it is an indirect bandgap material device, there is a problem of low quantum efficiency. Ternary Compound Semiconductor In x Ga 1-x As a direct bandgap semiconductor material...
