Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of detector chip manufacturing, and relates to a graded barrier low-dark-current mesa type photodiode. The mesa type photodiode comprises an N-type mesa, an absorption mesa and a P-type mesa which are connected in a stacked manner from top to bottom; the surface of each mesa is covered with a passivation layer; a graded barrier layer is arranged in an absorption mesa of the mesa type photodiode, and the graded barrier layer is of a nine-layer structure from top to bottom; an N electrode is arranged on the N-type mesa; a P electrode is arranged on the P-type mesa; and the P electrode and the N electrode form a coplanar electrode. By adopting the graded barrier structure, the surface leakage current and the body dark current of the mesa type photodiode are reduced, so that the reliability of the mesa type photodiode is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of detector chip manufacture, and in particular relates to a mesa-type photodiode with a graded potential barrier and low dark current and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] With the evolution of photodiodes to high-speed and high-bandwidth, the fabrication process is gradually changing from a planar process to a mesa process. The mesa etching process destroys the periodic integrity of the lattice, exposes the surface of the semiconductor material to the environment, introduces surface interface states, and inevitably increases the surface dark current. The composition of dark current also includes: generation of recombination current, diffusion current, interband tunneling current and auxiliary tunneling current, etc. High dark current reduces the performance and reliability of mesa photodiodes, and there is a greater risk of failure. [0003] There are many preparations of mesa...
