TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to a preparation method of a wide-band multi-spectral indium gallium arsenide detector and belongs to the technical field of indium gallium arsenide detectors. BACKGROUND
[0002] In addition to the 380nm-760nm visible light band that can be seen by human eyes, the natural radiation energy also includes gamma rays, ultraviolet light, near-infrared light, short-middle-long-wave infrared light, very long-wave infrared light and microwaves that cannot be seen by human eyes. Among them, the short-wave infrared light mainly refers to the radiation energy covering the 900nm-3000nm band, and there is relatively much radiation energy in the natural world, and there is relatively much spectral information in the band, so that multi-spectral and high-spectral detection and analysis means can be used for the detection, identification and analysis of various substances.
[0003] The mainstream photoelectric materials responding to the 900nm-3000nm band include indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs), mercury cadmium telluride (HgCdTe), indium arsenide (InAs) and lead sulfide (PbS), and the InGaAs is the most representative short-wave infrared detector material, which has the advantages of performance, cost, power consumption and volume. At present, the mainstream indium gallium arsenide product uses InP / InGaAs as the material, responds to the 900nm-1700nm band, and can be expanded to 400nm-1700nm through an InP substrate thinning process. The process of the product is relatively mature, and the product has been widely applied. 0.53 Ga 0.47 As, responds to the 900nm-1700nm band, and can be expanded to 400nm-1700nm through an InP substrate thinning process. The process of the product is relatively mature, and the product has been widely applied.
[0004] However, the detector product responding to the wavelength of 2500nm has the problems of needing to re-optimize and adjust the material component structure, reduce the lattice mismatch conduction in the epitaxial growth process and reduce the dark current of the device, so that there is no mature product in China, and the application of the wide-spectrum detector with the expanded cutoff wavelength cannot be met.
[0005] With the miniaturization of the mounting platform and the demand for field application, the demand for multi-spectral imagers in the fields of agriculture, forestry, military, medicine, scientific research and the like is also increasing. Therefore, the development of the wide-band multi-spectral indium gallium arsenide detector product has strong practical value, and can effectively meet various analysis requirements. SUMMARY
