Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of infrared photoelectric devices, in particular to a planar junction three-step photodiode and a focal plane and a manufacturing method. Background Art
[0002] Avalanche photodiodes are widely used in the field of single photon detection due to their high gain characteristics. In the infrared band, gallium arsenide materials are used as the absorption layer, which is a relatively mature structure. When reverse bias is applied, photons are absorbed and excited in the absorption layer, and the generated electron-hole pairs begin to drift under the action of the electric field. InP, as a material with a hole impact ionization coefficient greater than the electron impact ionization coefficient, is used in back-illuminated photodetectors. From the basic device structure, it can be divided into two structures: table type and planar type.
[0003] At present, avalanche photodiodes mainly adopt the SAGCM structure, in which a buffer layer, a light absorption layer, a gradient layer, a charge layer and a cap layer are grown on an indium phosphide substrate. The formation of a P-type region by diffusion in the cap layer is a typical feature of a planar structure. The formation of a P-type region by diffusion is more conducive to low dark count rates than the table type itself, and is suitable for the detection of single photons. These advantages are due to the modulation of the diffusion morphology, which directly affects the distribution state of the electric field when the device is working. In the field of planar structures, how to achieve the effect of suppressing edge breakdown and reducing the dark count rate through diffusion is a difficult problem that everyone is thinking about.
[0004] In order to optimize the device performance by improving the diffusion structure of the planar InGaAs detector, relevant personnel have explored and proposed a series of methods, including an avalanche photodiode and a method for manufacturing the same with an optimized guard ring on the basis of the guard ring (invention patent application number: CN117913174A). In addition, there is an etching method, which modulates the final diffusion morphology by etching to suppress the edge breakdown of the planar InGaAs / InP Geiger mode APD (Photonic Journal 47, 0523001 (2018)). There are also some methods to strengthen the passivation process, which aims to enhance the pressure resistance and reduce the risk of edge breakdown caused by diffusion by optimizing the passivation method (invention patent application number: CN202310376064.0). In addition, there is a method of forming multiple steps by etching (invention patent application number: CN202211144013.7). Most of these disclosed patents or implementation ideas test the operation of other processes and do not explore the existing diffusion morphology. When new processes such as etching are introduced, damage to the cap layer material may pose potential risks to device performance and service life. In addition, etching also has edge effects, so the diffused morphology may not be ideal. Summary of the invention

It should be understood that these embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. In addition, it should be understood that after reading the content taught by the present invention, those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications to the present invention, and these equivalent forms fall within the scope limited by the appended claims of the application equally.
[0050] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present invention discloses a planar junction three-step photodiode, a preferred embodiment of which includes a passivation film layer 3, a diffusion layer, an avalanche layer 5, a charge layer 6, a composition gradient layer 7, a light absorption layer 8, a buffer layer 9 and a substrate 10.
[0051] The planar junction three-step photodiode is processed on the pre-etched material. The material of the passivation film layer 3 is silicon nitride, which is formed on the diffusion layer. The material of the diffusion layer is Inp, with a thickness of 4.3 microns, and its doping type is N-type, and the doping concentration is N-type 1.6×10 14 cm -3 , the diffusion type is P type.
[0052] The diffusion layer includes a three-step diffusion zone 4. Inside the three-step diffusion zone 4, there are the first step zone 41, the second step zone 42 and the third step zone 43 from top to bottom. The first step zone 41, the second step zone 42 and the third step zone 43 form concentric circles. The first step zone 41 is formed by the third atomic diffusion, and its diameter is larger than the diameter of the second step zone 42, but its depth is smaller than the depth of the second step zone 42. The second step zone 42 is formed by the second atomic diffusion and the third atomic diffusion, and its diameter is larger than the diameter of the third step zone 43, but its depth is smaller than the depth of the third step zone 43. The third step zone 43 is formed by the first atomic diffusion, the second atomic diffusion and the third atomic diffusion, and its diameter is the smallest and the depth is the largest. Below the three-step diffusion zone 4 is the avalanche layer 5.
[0053] Below the avalanche layer 5 is the charge layer 6. The charge layer 6 is made of I np, has a thickness of 0.125 microns, is doped with N type, and has a doping concentration of 2.0×10 17 cm -3 Below the charge layer 6 is the composition graded layer 7. The composition graded layer 7 is made of InGaAsP, has a thickness of 0.06 microns, is doped with N-type, and has a doping concentration of 2.0×10 16 cm -3 Below the composition gradient layer 7 is a light absorbing layer 8. The material of the light absorbing layer 8 is In 0.53 Ga 0.47 As, thickness is 2.0 μm, doping type is N-type, doping concentration is 2.38×10 14 cm -3 Below the light absorption layer 8 is a buffer layer 9.

The material of the substrate 10 is InP, the doping type is N-type, and the doping concentration is 3.0×10 18 cm -3 .
[0054] The positive and negative electrodes of the diode are respectively arranged on the three-step diffusion region 4 and the substrate 10. The P-type metal contact electrode 2 is arranged on the three-step diffusion region 4, and the N-type metal contact electrode 11 is arranged on the substrate 10. In application, the backlight incident light source 1 is incident from the direction of the substrate 10.

For example, when the final depth is 3.5 microns, the deepest step width is 10 microns, the middle step is 20 microns, and the shallow junction width is 30 microns, the final depth is kept fixed, and when the difference between the middle step depth and the final depth is adjusted from 0.8 microns to 1.6 microns, the electric field in the top multiplication zone will be modulated as the position of the new step changes.

In the diffusion layer, after superimposing with the shape after the first atomic diffusion, a two-step-shaped shape after the second atomic diffusion is formed.
[0077] Step S1011, second rinse.
[0078] After rinsing the diffusion source remaining, prepare for the third diffusion.
[0079] Step S1012, generating a thin film layer.
[0080] A silicon nitride film is formed on the surface of the diffusion layer by using plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition technology.
[0081] Step S1013: Photolithography to generate a third diffusion mask.
[0082] On the silicon nitride film, photolithography generates a third diffusion mask. The third diffusion mask is circular in shape with a diameter of 30 microns. The third diffusion mask is concentrically arranged with the first diffusion mask and the second diffusion mask, i.e., concentric circle engraving.
