Problems solved by technology

The absorption cut-off wavelength of the InGaAs material is in the near-infrared band, which means that the absorption spectrum of the InGaAs material can cover visible light and even ultraviolet light with a wavelength smaller than the near-infrared, but due to the absorption of the InP substrate and the InP cap layer, the InP / InGaAs / InP detectors detect visible light and ultraviolet bands, so that traditional InGaAs detectors cannot detect targets in ultraviolet and visible bands, and cannot identify some widely used lasers with shorter wavelengths.
In addition, for some applications that need to detect ultraviolet light, visible light and short-wave infrared at the same time, multiple separate detectors are required to detect separately, which will lead to the disadvantages of complex detection system, large system size and weight

Abstract

The invention discloses a high-gain InCaAs detector chip from ultraviolet to near-infrared. The structure above an indium phosphide (InP) substrate successively comprises an InP contact layer, an indium gallium arsenic (InGaAs) absorption layer, a silicon oxide (SiO2) dielectric layer, a source metal electrode, a graphene layer, a drain metal electrode and a grid metal electrode which are shown inthe description. The high-gain InCaAs detector chip from ultraviolet to near-infrared has the advantages that on the one hand, graphene has good semimetal characteristics and can be in contact with the InGaAs layer to form a Schottky photodiode, and optical detection is achieved; on the other hand, graphene has no forbidden bandwidth and is excellent in optical transmissibility, the spectral response of a novel InCaAs detector can be widened to near ultraviolet, and light absorption of the InGaAs layer can be improved at the same time; in addition, graphene has the characteristics of extremely high migration rate and extremely quick charge carrier transmission, so that the detector has the characteristic of extremely high quantum gain on insertion of photon-generated charge carriers.

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a novel detector chip, in particular to a high-gain ultraviolet-to-near-infrared InGaAs detector chip, which can realize wide-band range detection including ultraviolet light, visible light and near-infrared light. Background technique [0002] The traditional structure of InGaAs detector chip is InP / InGaAs / InP structure, which has good performance in the near-infrared band, which makes it widely used in civil, military and aerospace fields. The absorption cut-off wavelength of the InGaAs material is in the near-infrared band, which means that the absorption spectrum of the InGaAs material can cover visible light and even ultraviolet light with a wavelength smaller than the near-infrared, but due to the absorption of the InP substrate and the InP cap layer, the InP / InGaAs / InP detectors detect visible light and ultraviolet bands, so that traditional InGaAs detectors cannot detect targets in ultraviolet and visible bands, and ca...
