Problems solved by technology

[0004] Although figure 1 The light absorption region of the shown RCE detector structure is relatively thin, which is conducive to the rapid transfer of carriers to the electrode, but the epitaxy of the RCE detector structure requires a very thick DBR, and usually the thickness of the DBR can reach several microns, thereby increasing production cost

Abstract

The invention discloses a photoelectric detector, and the photoelectric detector comprises an absorption layer, a metal layer, a dielectric film and reflective metal, which are sequentially arranged from a bottom layer to a top layer. The absorption layer is used for absorbing target detection light. The metal layer comprises a strip-shaped grating and an upper contact electrode, and one side of the strip-shaped grating is located on the absorption layer, and the strip-shaped grating is used for gathering target detection light, and the upper contact electrode is electrically connected with alower contact electrode through a voltage. One side of the dielectric film is located above the other side of the strip-shaped grating, and the other side of the dielectric film is located below the reflective metal. The dielectric film is used for providing a cavity of the resonant cavity, and the reflective metal is used for reflecting target detection light. The invention also provides a preparation method of the photoelectric detector. According to the invention, a transverse resonant cavity effect and a longitudinal resonant cavity effect can be formed at the same time through the strip-shaped grating and the reflecting metal, and the higher light absorption rate is obtained in a thin absorption region. Moreover, the structure of the detector is simpler than the structure of a resonant cavity resonance detector, and the manufacturing cost is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the field of semiconductor devices, in particular to a photodetector and a method for preparing the photodetector. Background technique [0002] In the development of optical fiber communication system, photodetector is an indispensable part, and its performance plays a decisive role in the performance of the entire optical fiber communication system. The bandwidth of the photodetector and the quantum efficiency are mutually restricted. Generally, the quantum efficiency of the device can be increased by increasing the thickness of the absorbing layer of the photodetector. [0003] At present, a common photodetector is shown in 1, figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of a resonant cavity enhanced (RCE) detector in an existing solution. The RCE detector is integrated with a resonant cavity of a distributed Bragg reflection (distributed Bragg reflection, DBR) at both ends of an absorption region. When the light is incide...
