Abstract

The present invention discloses a PIN heterojunction solar-blind ultraviolet high-speed photodetector with fully depleted active region and a preparation method thereof, and relates to the field of solar-blind ultraviolet photodetectors. The present invention first deposits a layer of intrinsic gallium oxide as an i-layer on a p-type gallium nitride substrate, and then deposits a layer of silicon-doped n-type gallium oxide layer to form a PIN heterojunction. By reasonably regulating the doping concentration and the thickness of the i-type gallium oxide layer, the i-type gallium oxide layer as the main light-absorbing layer is fully depleted. Subsequently, ohmic contacts of p-type gallium nitride and n-type gallium oxide are prepared on the PIN heterojunction, respectively, to obtain a PIN heterojunction photodetector based on gallium oxide. Compared with conventional gallium oxide-based pn heterojunction photodetectors, the PIN heterojunction photodetector prepared in the present invention has excellent device performance, including shorter response time, greater responsivity, greater light-to-dark current ratio, good transient response characteristics and stability.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor photoelectric detectors, and in particular to an active region fully depleted PIN heterojunction solar-blind ultraviolet high-speed photoelectric detector and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The first generation of semiconductors represented by silicon and germanium play a very important role in the field of microelectronics. However, with the development of technology, due to the narrow bandgap and low breakdown electric field of silicon, it is difficult to meet the requirements of high-frequency, high-power devices and optoelectronics. After silicon and germanium, the second generation of semiconductors appeared, such as gallium arsenide and silicon germanium, which have higher electron mobility, larger bandgap, better optoelectronic properties, and are more suitable for high-speed, high-frequency, high-temperature and high-power electronic devices. In recent years, the third generation of semiconductor materials with a bandgap greater than 2.3eV, such as silicon carbide, gallium nitride, aluminum nitride, zinc oxide, and gallium oxide, have emerged. Compared with the first two generations of semiconductor materials, this type of material has a large bandgap, high breakdown electric field strength, fast saturated electron drift velocity, large thermal conductivity, small dielectric constant, strong radiation resistance, and good chemical stability. It is very suitable for the development of radiation-resistant, high-frequency, high-power and high-density integrated semiconductor devices.

[0003] Gallium oxide (Ga2O3) is an emerging wide bandgap semiconductor (bandgap width is 4.9eV), with a wider bandgap width and higher breakdown field strength than gallium nitride and silicon carbide (3.3eV), and is the preferred material for the new generation of ultra-high power devices. As a rising star in the semiconductor field, gallium oxide materials and devices have received strong attention from academia and industry in various countries. On the other hand, when sunlight passes through the atmosphere, due to the strong absorption of the ozone layer, ultraviolet light in the 200nm-280nm band is almost non-existent near the ground, so the light in this band is also called solar-blind ultraviolet light, and the detector based on this band is a solar-blind ultraviolet photodetector. Because the interference of sunlight background radiation is avoided, the solar-blind ultraviolet photodetector has outstanding advantages such as low background noise, low false alarm rate, and strong anti-interference. It is widely used in missile warning, high-voltage power grid corona detection, flame detection, deep ultraviolet disinfection and sterilization, etc. The bandgap width of gallium oxide corresponds to a wavelength of 260nm, which just falls in the solar-blind ultraviolet region. Gallium oxide-based photodetectors only respond to solar-blind ultraviolet light and are ideal semiconductor materials for solar-blind detectors. A core indicator of photodetectors is response speed. In order to detect rapidly changing signals, we hope that the response speed is as fast as possible. In pn junction photodetectors, the existence of a built-in electric field can promote the separation of photogenerated carriers and improve the response speed of the detector. Therefore, pn junctions are often used for the preparation of high-speed photodetectors. Since the preparation of p-type gallium oxide is still relatively difficult, other p-type materials are often used to form a pn heterojunction with n-type gallium oxide. The area that mainly absorbs light in a pn junction photodetector is called the active region, and the active region that contributes to the photocurrent mainly comes from the depletion region, so the depletion region is very critical. However, most reported pn heterojunction photodetectors often have a narrow width of the depletion region due to heavy doping in the p-region or n-region, thereby limiting the performance of the photodetector. Summary of the invention
