Abstract

The invention discloses a bipolar photodiode based on a gallium nitride heterojunction thin film and a preparation method of the bipolar photodiode. The main body structure of the gallium nitride heterojunction thin film is SiN / GaN / AlyGa1-yN / AlN / GaN. The cathode and the two-dimensional electron gas on the heterojunction interface form ohmic contact, and the semitransparent metal anode on the SiN dielectric layer and the gallium nitride heterojunction form a metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) structure. Due to opposite polarization electric fields in the heterojunction film, the MIS photodiode based on the gallium nitride heterojunction can generate light currents in different directions under excitation of ultraviolet light with different energies. The bipolar photodiode based on the gallium nitride heterojunction film on the silicon substrate is simple in process and stable in performance, can be compatible with a CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) process, and can be used as a high-performance photoelectric detection unit in a future multifunctional photoelectric integrated chip and system.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a photodiode in the technical field of semiconductor optoelectronics, in particular to a bipolar photodiode based on a gallium nitride heterojunction thin film and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] The combination of photonics and electronics is the mainstream of next-generation system-on-chips, showing great potential in the fields of optical communication and optical computing. As an optoelectronic interface that converts optical signals into electrical signals, chip-scale semiconductor photodiodes (PDs) play an important role in optoelectronic integrated systems. However, conventional PDs fabricated based on bulk materials do not possess photocurrent polarity, which limits their versatile detection capabilities. Therefore, the introduction of bipolar PDs that can switch the polarity of photocurrent will become the development direction of optoelectronic integrated devices in the future. In recent ...
