Description

Local field enhanced photoconductive high-speed photoelectric detector
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductor photoelectric devices, and mainly relates to a high-speed photoelectric detector and a preparation method thereof.
Background
High-speed photodetectors are critical devices for high-speed optoelectronic systems. For example, at the receiving end of the optical fiber communication system, the photodetector can convert the modulated optical signal into an electrical signal, which is a core device of the receiving end; in signal generation, a high frequency electrical signal output is obtained by beating a light beam on a photodetector.
The high-speed photodetectors reported so far are mainly Avalanche Photodetectors (APD), PIN photodetectors, and single-row carrier photodetectors (UTC-PD). APD is widely used in the fields of long-distance optical communication receiver, single photon detection, etc., but has poor high-speed performance due to long avalanche setup time; the PIN-PD has low hole mobility, so that the transit time of holes from the intrinsic layer to the P-type layer limits the bandwidth of the PIN-PD to be difficult to further improve; the response speed of the detector is difficult to increase due to the limitation of junction capacitance.
The photoconductive detector can respond to signals of terahertz frequency, and has the advantage of high speed. However, the semiconductor material has low light absorption efficiency and low photoelectric conversion efficiency, which are critical problems restricting the application.
The surface plasmon is a collective oscillation phenomenon of electrons on the surface of the metal structure induced by an external electromagnetic field, can break through diffraction limit restriction, and enhances interaction between light and a substance under the micro-nano scale. In recent years, with the development of micro-nano technology, micro-nano scale optical field control structures based on surface plasmons are continuously proposed. Through reasonable structural design, the surface plasmon structure can be used for local light field, and the light absorption of the semiconductor material is improved, so that the responsivity of the photoelectric detector is improved (chem. Soc. Rev.2021,50 (21): 12070-12097).
