Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of quantum dot growth, in particular to a quantum dot based on a quaternary antimonide cap layer and a growth method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] 1.38 μm band InAs / GaAs quantum dots, with their unique optical properties in the near-infrared region and flexible band gap control ability, have become a frontier research direction in the field of optoelectronics in recent years. This wavelength is in the "biological window" of low absorption of human tissue, which can achieve large imaging depth and high spatial resolution, and is particularly suitable for biomedical imaging technologies such as optical coherence tomography (OCT), providing a stable and reliable broadband light source. At the same time, the 1.38 μm wavelength is at the long-wave end of the traditional communication O band, and has low transmission dispersion in optical fibers, so it has great potential in data centers, high-speed on-chip optical interconnection, and short-distance data transmission systems. In addition, this band avoids the absorption peaks of the eye lens and retina tissue, has a higher safety threshold, making it more competitive in automotive laser radar, industrial ranging, and optoelectronic sensor applications in consumer electronics products.
[0003] Relying on the mature GaAs semiconductor platform and self-assembly growth technology, 1.38 μm InAs / GaAs quantum dots can be combined with existing AlGaAs / GaAs distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) and MEMS-HCG micro-mechanical grating structures to build a variety of high-performance devices.
[0004] For example, high-power vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) arrays, narrow linewidth and broadband tunable lasers, and broadband superluminescent diodes (SLEDs) can be developed to meet a wide range of application requirements. InAs / GaAs quantum dots themselves also have high quantum efficiency and low threshold current, and exhibit good temperature stability and low power consumption characteristics, making them particularly attractive in high-speed modulation and low-power optoelectronic integrated systems.
[0005] However, fully leveraging the advantages of 1.38 μm InAs / GaAs quantum dots in practical research and large-scale applications still faces numerous technical challenges. The primary difficulty lies in extending the quantum dot emission wavelength beyond the traditional 1.3–1.35 μm range to longer wavelengths. This stems from the significant lattice constant mismatch between the GaAs substrate and the InAs material: as the quantum dot size increases to obtain longer wavelengths, strain accumulation increases significantly, easily inducing lattice defects such as dislocations and point defects. These defects not only reduce the optical quality of the quantum dot material but may also severely impair the radiative recombination efficiency of the device, affecting its stability and lifetime. Furthermore, with the redshift of wavelength, the thermal stability of quantum dot materials becomes more prominent. Under high-temperature operating conditions, In is prone to diffusion and redistribution, leading to changes in quantum dot size and even structural degradation, thereby affecting the stability and reliability of its optical performance.

[0021] With reference to Figure 1 The embodiments of the present application provide a growth method of quantum dots based on a quaternary antimonide cap layer, comprising the following steps: S1, removing the oxidation layer of the substrate in a set environment, and performing a degassing operation on the substrate; S2, using a molecular beam epitaxy technique to grow a first GaAs buffer layer on the surface of the substrate at a first set temperature; the main function of the first GaAs buffer layer is to repair the surface damage layer possibly generated by the deoxidization of the substrate, and the repair mainly includes flattening the surface of the substrate, healing dislocations, and isolating substrate impurities, etc.; S3, growing an AlGaAs buffer layer on the first GaAs buffer layer at a second set temperature; the main function of the AlGaAs buffer layer is to limit the propagation of light, and to confine the light in the active region on this layer. And its band gap is wider than that of GaAs, which can also confine the carriers in the active region; S4, growing a second GaAs buffer layer on the AlGaAs buffer layer at the first set temperature; the main function of the second GaAs buffer layer is to make the surface of the quantum dots be the GaAs surface under the same condition before each growth, which is beneficial to the subsequent accurate control of the In element composition. And it forms a confinement layer with the previous AlGaAs layer; S5, growing an InGaAs quantum well on the second GaAs buffer layer at a third set temperature, wherein the speed flow ratio of the group V element and the group III element in the growth cavity is within a set interval during the growth of the InGaAs quantum well; wherein the growth cavity contains the required gas source and related detectors; the main function of the InGaAs quantum well is to reduce the strain difference between the InAs quantum dot (QD) and GaAs, so as to make the quantum dot larger, the wavelength longer, the uniformity better, the quantum dot density higher, and to help the quantum dot to capture carriers; S6, growing InAs quantum dots on the InGaAs quantum well by using a self-assembly technique; S7, growing an InGaAsSb stress buffer layer on the InAs quantum dots at a fourth set temperature, then maintaining the fourth set temperature, and growing a GaAs cap layer on the InGaAsSb stress buffer layer, then raising the temperature of the substrate to a first set temperature, and growing a GaAs spacer layer on the GaAs cap layer.
[0022] The main role of the InGaAsSb stress buffer layer is to change the shape of the quantum dots by stress, so as to change the light-emitting wavelength thereof; The main role of the GaAs cap layer is to encapsulate the active region, prevent the decomposition of Sb element, and ensure the size (height) of the quantum dots. Finally, the GaAs cap layer provides a transition zone for the GaAs spacer layer generated at a high temperature later, and forms a carrier barrier; The main role of the GaAs spacer layer is to eliminate the interlayer strain coupling and tunneling coupling, and ensure that the growth initial conditions of each layer of quantum dots are the same.

[0027] In some embodiments, the implementation of S2 is as follows: Use the molecular beam epitaxy technology on the surface of the substrate and grow the first GaAs buffer layer at a temperature of 500-600 DEG C, and the thickness of the first GaAs buffer layer is set according to the requirements; the general principle of the thickness of the first GaAs buffer layer is that the thickness of the first GaAs buffer layer is not less than 150 nm, so that a relatively flat first GaAs buffer layer is obtained, which is convenient for subsequent growth.
[0028] In some embodiments, S3 specifically includes the following steps: S31, increase the temperature of the substrate to 620-650 DEG C; S32, use the molecular beam epitaxy technology to grow the AlGaAs buffer layer on the first GaAs buffer layer at a temperature of 620-650 DEG C until the thickness of the AlGaAs buffer layer reaches 50-1400 nm, wherein the component of the aluminum element in the AlGaAs buffer layer is maintained at 30-45% to limit the propagation of light.
[0029] In some embodiments, S4 specifically includes the following steps: S41, reduce the temperature of the substrate to 500-600 DEG C; S42, use the molecular beam epitaxy technology to grow the second GaAs buffer layer on the AlGaAs buffer layer at a temperature of 500-600 DEG C, and the growth thickness of the second GaAs buffer layer is 30-70 nm.
[0030] In some embodiments, S5 specifically includes the following steps: S51, control the temperature of the substrate to be 450-600 DEG C; S52, growing InGaAs quantum well on the second GaAs buffer layer at a temperature of 450℃-600℃, wherein the speed ratio of V group element and III group element in the growth cavity of the molecular beam epitaxy instrument MBE where the InGaAs quantum well is located is in the interval of 15-45, so that the InGaAs quantum well is long and covers the entire wafer (i.e. substrate) surface, so as to reach the suitable high-performance quantum dot growth condition; the V group element refers to arsenic element, and the III group element refers to the sum of indium element and gallium element.
[0031] In some embodiments, the implementation manner of S6 is: InAs material with a thickness of 1nm-2nm is grown on the InGaAs quantum well by using a molecular beam epitaxy technology or a chemical vapor deposition method, and then InAs quantum dots are grown on the InAs material by using a self-assembly technology.
[0032] In some embodiments, S7 specifically comprises the following steps: S71, controlling the temperature of the substrate at 460℃-550℃, and then growing an InGaAsSb stress buffer layer (i.e. quaternary antimony cap layer) on the InAs quantum dot, wherein the composition, temperature and thickness of the InGaAsSb stress buffer layer need to be accurately controlled, otherwise the performance of the quantum dot cannot reach the expectation. The thickness of the InGaAsSb stress buffer layer is generally about 3nm-10nm; wherein the composition of In element in the InGaAsSb stress buffer layer is 15%-22%, and the composition of Sb element is not more than 16%; compared with common InGaAs, the Sb element in the InGaAsSb stress buffer layer has a surfactant effect, which can effectively prevent In-Ga interdiffusion and maintain the quantum dot size. Meanwhile, the composition of Sb element cannot be too large (i.e. more than 16%), otherwise the InGaAsSb will become Type II, which is not suitable for the 1.38um cap layer. In addition, the lattice constant of InGaAsSb is larger, which can make the light-emitting wavelength of the quantum dot longer. S72, maintaining the temperature of the substrate at 460℃-550℃, and then growing a GaAs cap layer with a thickness of 4nm-20nm on the InGaAsSb stress buffer layer; S73, then increasing the temperature of the substrate to 500℃-600℃, and growing a GaAs spacer layer on the GaAs cap layer, wherein the thickness of the GaAs spacer layer is set according to the modulation speed.
[0033] The red shift principle of the light-emitting wavelength of the InAs quantum dot in the application is as follows: Since the commonly used InGaAs cap layer is difficult to effectively promote the further red shift of the quantum dot light-emitting wavelength. Therefore, the present application appropriately introduces Sb element in the InGaAs cap layer to form an InGaAsSb quaternary antimonide cap layer, which has a further increased lattice constant compared with the InGaAs cap layer, and can effectively reduce the compressive stress applied on the InAs quantum dot during the covering process. This strain buffer effect helps the InAs quantum dot to maintain a larger size (especially in the vertical direction) during the subsequent covering growth, thereby reducing the quantum confinement energy level, reducing the inter-level transition energy, and realizing the wavelength red shift. In addition, the Sb element has significant surface activity in epitaxial growth, and its addition can effectively reduce the surface energy and atomic migration barrier of the growth surface, significantly enhancing the surface migration ability of In atoms during the covering growth stage. The enhanced In atom migration property is conducive to the more uniform enrichment of In atoms to the central region of the InAs quantum dot, and inhibits its diffusion to the surrounding covering layer. Therefore, the size of the InAs quantum dot can not only be increased and increased, but also the uniformity of its size distribution is significantly improved, which further promotes the effective red shift of the light-emitting wavelength of the InAs quantum dot.
[0034] With reference to Figure 1 In another aspect, the present application also provides a quantum dot based on a quaternary antimonide cap layer, which is prepared by using the above growth method.
