Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of semiconductor technology, and in particular relates to an optoelectronic chip and a manufacturing method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Currently, transistor-based photoelectric tweezers technology has been applied to manipulate (e.g., select or move) micro-objects such as cells, microspheres, etc. The typical structure of this type of photoelectric tweezers device is to set a microfluidic channel between two upper and lower electrodes, where the upper electrode is usually a glass plate coated with indium tin oxide (ITO), and the lower electrode is a metal electrode, on which a phototransistor array is arranged to replace the ordinary photoelectric layer. When patterned light is irradiated on a specific area on the phototransistor array, the activated transistor allows current to pass, thereby forming a non-uniform electric field in the microfluidic channel, generating a dielectrophoresis (DEP) force that can manipulate micro-objects.
[0003] In the prior art, the magnitude of the DEP force is subject to factors such as the volume of the controlled micro-object and the medium in which it is located. For a given substance to be tested, increasing the illumination intensity and / or illumination area of the phototransistor can obtain a larger photocurrent, which is conducive to establishing a more significant non-uniform electric field, thereby generating a larger DEP manipulation force. However, since too high an illumination intensity may damage micro-objects (such as cells), in order to increase the photocurrent, it is more inclined to increase the photoelectric conversion efficiency.
[0004] Document CN107223074B discloses a transistor optical tweezer and a microfluidic device thereof. In the scheme, each transistor structure includes a lateral transistor and a vertical transistor. In each transistor structure, a P-type base region surrounds an N-type emitter region, an N-type collector region surrounds a P-type base region, and both the base region and the collector region include a lateral part and a longitudinal part. Compared with optical tweezers with only longitudinal transistors, under the same light intensity, lateral current and longitudinal current are generated simultaneously. The additional lateral transistor is said to increase the intensity of the generated current, thereby allowing more robust control of micro-objects.
[0005] However, the photocurrent and photocurrent / dark current ratio generated by this transistor structure are still unsatisfactory in some applications. For example, the simulated value of the photocurrent / dark current ratio of this transistor structure is at the level of 10^4, which does not meet the requirements of microfluidic devices. In addition, its structure is complex and the production cost is high.
[0006] Therefore, how to design a transistor optoelectronic chip with a high photocurrent / dark current ratio, simple structure, and simple manufacturing process is a technical problem to be solved. Summary of the invention

[0060] The transistor group array of this embodiment is composed of a plurality of transistor groups distributed in an array.

[0063] Specifically, the phototransistor is also called a photosensitive transistor. Its current is controlled by external light and is a semiconductor photoelectric device. The phototransistor is a transistor that is equivalent to a phototransistor connected between the base and collector of the transistor. The current of the phototransistor is equivalent to the base current of the transistor. Because of its current amplification effect, the phototransistor is much more sensitive than the phototransistor and can output a large photocurrent at the collector.

When the light signal shines on the base of the phototransistor, the phototransistor is turned on, firstly the photoelectric conversion is realized through the phototransistor, then the photocurrent is amplified through the transistor, and the amplified electrical signal is output from the emitter or collector.

The doping concentration of the emitter of the triode group ranges from 10 18 cm -3 -10 21 cm -3 .
[0068] Specifically, the vertical thickness of the base of the triode group is in the range of 200nm-10000nm; in some embodiments, the base of the triode group is P-type doped and is composed of one or more elements of boron, aluminum, beryllium, zinc, and cadmium; the doping concentration of the base of the triode group is in the range of 10 15 cm -3 -10 18 cm -3 .
[0069] Specifically, the longitudinal thickness of the collector of the triode group is in the range of 300nm-30000nm; the collector of the triode group is N-type or P-type doped, and is composed of one or more elements of antimony, arsenic, and phosphorus.
[0070] Specifically, the resistivity of the collector of the triode group is in the range of 5Ω·cm-10Ω·cm.
[0071] Specifically, the first insulating layer and the second insulating layer are made of silicon oxide material or a composite layer material composed of silicon oxide and silicon nitride.
[0072] Specifically, the thickness of the conductive substrate is in the range of 100 μm to 700 μm, and the resistivity thereof is in the range of 0.01 Ω·cm to 0.2 Ω·cm.
[0073] Example 2
[0074] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 2 , gives another circuit structure of a triode group, which is composed of a phototransistor and three ordinary triodes in cascade. The circuit diagram of the triode array composed of two triode groups is shown in Figure 3 shown.
[0075] In this embodiment, the phototransistor and the three ordinary transistors are isolated from each other by a second insulating layer (not shown in the schematic diagram); the collector of the phototransistor is connected to the collectors of the three ordinary transistors through a conductive substrate to form the collector of the transistor group; the emitter of the phototransistor is connected to the bases of the three ordinary transistors through a conductive substrate, and the emitters of the three ordinary transistors are all electrically connected to form the emitter of the transistor group in this embodiment.
[0076] Example 3
[0077] In this embodiment, if Figure 4 As shown in the figure, another circuit structure of the triode group is shown. The triode group is composed of a phototransistor and three ordinary triodes connected in parallel. Figure 4 The circuit diagram of the transistor array composed of two transistor groups is as follows Figure 5 shown.
[0078] In this transistor group, the collector of the ordinary transistor is connected to the collectors of three phototransistors through a conductive substrate to form the collector of the transistor group; the emitter of the phototransistor is connected to the base of the first ordinary transistor, the emitter of the first ordinary transistor is connected to the base of the second ordinary transistor, and the emitter of the third ordinary transistor constitutes the emitter of the transistor group in this embodiment.
[0079] The optoelectronic chip of this example has the following advantages: (1) It has a simple structure and is composed of a transistor array including a plurality of transistor groups distributed in an array. Each transistor group includes a phototransistor and at least one ordinary transistor. Therefore, the photocurrent and the photocurrent / dark current ratio of the optoelectronic chip can be adjusted by adjusting the number of ordinary transistors, and can be effectively applied to the use of solutions with different conductivity in the optoelectronic tweezers chip; (2) The phototransistor and the ordinary transistor are manufactured at the same time, which not only reduces the process steps but also reduces the manufacturing cost; (3) The excellent optoelectronic properties of the present invention can achieve higher photocurrents with weaker light. In the application of optoelectronic tweezers, the risk of cell damage caused by too high light intensity is avoided; (4) By separating the light absorption and current amplification functions, independent control of the photocurrent and dark current is achieved, thereby improving the performance and application range of the device.
