Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of mercury cadmium telluride infrared detectors, and in particular relates to a P-on-n type mercury cadmium telluride double-layer component heterogeneous planar junction detector based on mercury-rich vertical liquid phase epitaxy technology and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Infrared focal plane detectors have been widely used in military, industrial, environmental, and medical fields. Among the many infrared detection materials, mercury cadmium telluride materials have the advantage of high quantum efficiency. By changing the component x, its bandgap width meets the infrared detection of the three atmospheric windows of 1-3μm, 3-5μm, and 8-14μm. It has the advantage of high quantum efficiency and obvious advantages in basic physical properties. Mercury cadmium telluride infrared focal plane detectors have developed to the third generation, with main features including large array, very long wave, multi-color, HOT devices, etc., and occupy a dominant position in the field of high-end infrared detection.
[0003] The technical route of HgCdTe infrared detectors mainly includes two structures: N-on-p and P-on-n. In the current more mature device processes, the quantum efficiency of infrared detectors is above 80%, or even 100%. From the perspective of light signals alone, there is little potential to significantly improve device performance. In contrast, by reducing dark current, the performance of HgCdTe infrared detectors can be improved by several orders of magnitude. Among the two structures, P-on-n infrared detectors have obvious advantages in reducing dark current, with a reduction of 2 orders of magnitude. The P-on-n technical route includes planar homojunctions (injection junctions) and table heterojunctions (growth junctions).
[0004] In the mesa heterojunction technology route, the HgCdTe material is doped with As in situ, with a high activation rate. The n-type HgCdTe material doped with In is first grown on the substrate material by liquid phase epitaxy, and then the p-type HgCdTe material doped with As is grown. After growth, a pn junction is formed by appropriate activation annealing. The n-type layer is the absorption layer with a thickness of generally more than 5μm, and the p-type layer is thinner, generally within 2μm. The Cd component content of the p-type layer is higher than that of the n-type layer, and the bandgap width is larger. The material is more stable, which is conducive to reducing tunneling current and noise, and its low-temperature performance is better than that of the homojunction. In the mesa heterojunction process route, the mercury cadmium telluride array detector needs to isolate the adjacent pixel pn junctions. Generally, an etching / corrosion process is used to isolate the p-type layer of each pixel. Damage to the mercury cadmium telluride material is difficult to avoid during the mesa preparation process. A large number of sidewall free surfaces will be introduced in the process. The surface needs to be finely passivated in the subsequent process. Compared with the planar junction route, the coverage and interface density of the sidewall passivation layer are worse than those of the planar junction, the passivation difficulty is higher, and the uniformity of mesa preparation is also difficult to control.
[0005] In the planar homojunction process, In-doped n-type HgCdTe material is grown on the substrate material by liquid phase epitaxy, and the P region is prepared by As implantation. The HgCdTe material after As ion implantation needs to be activated by a high-temperature annealing process to form a pn junction. The planar homo-heterojunction process cannot achieve surface band modulation in structure, and the defect density in the implantation area is high. A complex annealing process is required in the later stage to reduce the defect density in the implantation area. The process is difficult, and residual defects easily lead to an increase in dark current.
[0006] In order to circumvent the problem of high difficulty in surface passivation in the planar homojunction process, a planar heterojunction process was developed. The MBE technology was used to prepare a double-layer component heterogeneous material with a high resistance layer on the surface. The As ion implantation process was used to prepare the P-on-n structure. The device process was the same as the planar homojunction process. In the planar heterojunction process based on MBE technology, the material has a high dislocation density and is difficult to control impurities. In the subsequent annealing activation process, it is easy to cause unexpected impurity diffusion problems. Summary of the invention
[0007] The embodiment of the present invention provides a mercury cadmium telluride double-layer component heterojunction planar detector and a preparation method thereof, so as to solve the difficulty in preparing the mercury cadmium telluride table heterojunction process and further improve the performance of the mercury cadmium telluride planar junction detector.

[0042] In order to make the purpose, content and advantages of the present invention more clear, the specific implementation of the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. The accompanying drawings constitute a part of this application and are used to illustrate the principles of the present invention.
[0043] In the related art, since HgCdTe multi-element and area array detectors need to isolate adjacent pixel pn junctions, heterojunction HgCdTe devices generally use a table process to isolate the p-type layer of each pixel. However, compared with the planar injection junction, the table preparation process of the device preparation of the table heterojunction is difficult, mainly reflected in the fact that it is difficult to avoid damage to the HgCdTe material during the table preparation process, and the coverage of the passivation layer on the side wall of the table is worse than the planar coverage, which can easily lead to surface leakage and device failure.
[0044] The present invention aims to solve the above technical problems to a certain extent, and provides a mercury cadmium telluride double-layer component heterogeneous planar junction detector based on mercury-rich vertical liquid phase epitaxy technology and a preparation method thereof.
[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the mercury cadmium telluride double-layer component heterojunction detector based on mercury-rich vertical liquid phase epitaxy technology provided in an embodiment of the present invention includes: a stacked substrate material layer 1, an n-type absorption layer 2, an n-type wide bandgap heterolayer 3, a p-type injection region 4, a passivation layer 5, and a contact electrode layer 6.
[0046] After the n-type wide bandgap heterogeneous layer 3 is grown, an array p-type injection region 4 is formed by photolithography, and an independent pixel is selectively injected into the n-type wide bandgap heterogeneous layer. In the actual device preparation process, detectors of different specifications and shapes can be formed by adjusting the shape and size of the photolithographic pattern. Figure 2 The rectangular area shown is for illustration only.

Compared with ordinary table p-on-n heterojunction devices, it can effectively avoid the damage to the HgCdTe material caused by the table preparation process (dry etching or wet etching), and avoid leakage caused by the poor coverage effect of the table passivation layer and the interface. Compared with ordinary arsenic (As) implanted planar p-on-n homojunction devices, the heterojunction material structure formed by band modulation can effectively suppress tunneling current and surface leakage, which is beneficial to reduce dark current and improve device performance. Compared with planar heterojunction devices based on MBE technology, it has high impurity control ability and good interface diffusion effect.
