Abstract

The invention discloses a multi-junction germanium-based long-wave infrared detector and a preparation method thereof. The detector is composed of a germanium substrate, an electrode region, an absorption region, a blocking region, a lead electrode and a passivation layer. The preparation method comprises four steps. According to the method, an absorption region, an electrode region, a passivation layer and a lead electrode are sequentially formed on a high-resistance germanium substrate through photoetching, ion implantation, rapid annealing, thin film deposition, dry etching and other processes. According to the prepared long-wave infrared detector, a plurality of absorption regions and blocking regions are introduced on the basis of a traditional impurity band blocking detector structure, so that a plurality of depletion regions are obtained, the width of the depletion regions is increased, the effective light absorption region of the device is increased, and the response rate and the detection rate of the detector are improved. The preparation method is compatible with the current semiconductor process technology, and the research and development and production cost is low.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a long-wave infrared detector and a preparation method thereof. The multi-junction germanium-based long-wave infrared detector is especially suitable for the field of mid- and far-infrared astronomical detection in the range of 40-200 μm. Background technique [0002] Infrared astronomy is an important branch of astronomy, and the key to the development of infrared astronomy is the development of infrared detectors. Common infrared detectors can be made of materials such as mercury cadmium telluride, indium antimonide, and indium gallium arsenide. They all use the properties of semiconductor materials to absorb infrared light, so the absorbed photon energy needs to be larger than the forbidden band width of semiconductor materials. Larger and shorter detectable wavelengths. [0003] The blocking impurity band detector introduces impurity energy levels by doping semiconductor materials, and uses the impurity energy levels to ab...
