Description

Use the doping agent diffusion blocking of the opto-electronic device of InAlAs or InGaAlAs realization
The present invention relates to the method for opto-electronic devices such as a kind of manufacturing such as laser, modulator, image intensifer and wave detector, particularly relate to the dopant atom diffusion between a kind of different doped regions that are used to reduce this opto-electronic device and/or the method and the device of phase counterdiffusion.
The barrier layer is more and more important for opto-electronic device.For example, in the buried heterostructure of semiconductor laser diode, excellent characteristic has been brought on the barrier layer, such as low oscillation threshold and stable vibration transverse mode and high-quantum efficiency and high characteristic temperature.This be because, in the buried heterostructure laser diode, a current barrier layer can be formed on active layer both sides, active layer is to form between two coating with big energy gap and little refractive index.Like this, if can not prevent, the leakage current during work also can reduce widely.
The conventional method that a kind of manufacturing has a semiconductor laser diode of semi-insulating buried ridge is presented among Fig. 1-7 exemplaryly and is as described below.
With reference to Fig. 1, the processing step of making the laser diode that has buried ridge starts from forming a sandwich construction 100 on a n-InP (N type InP) substrate 10.Sandwich construction 100 is made up of one the one n-InP coating 12, active layer 14, the 2nd n-InP coating 16 and a quaternary material (Q) layer 18. Layer 12,14,16 and 18 is order formation and epitaxially grown continuously, thereby has finished first (inferior) crystal growth.Active layer 14 can be a Multiple Quantum Well (MQW) structure for example, it by unadulterated InGaAs/InGaAsP to constituting and forming by metallo-organic compound chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) or metallo-organic compound vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) method.In addition, second coating 16 can be mixed with a kind of P type dopant, and prevailing is zinc (Zn).
Next step, as shown in Figure 2, a SiO 2Or Si 3N 4Mask 20 is formed in the upper surface of layer 18 with strip-like-shaped.Subsequently, sandwich construction 100 optionally is etched down to n-InP substrate 10, thereby produces a banded table top 50, as shown in Figure 3.The banded table top 50 that has mask 20 above is introduced in a growing system subsequently, such as a rheotaxial growth system, a MOCVD growing system, molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) growing system or a vapor phase epitaxy (VPE) growing system, so that form an InP current barrier layer 32 and a n-InP current barrier layer 34 in succession, as shown in Figure 4. Current barrier layer 32 and 34 is round banded table top 50 and form second (inferior) crystal growth.
First current barrier layer 32 can be mixed with foreign ion, such as iron (Fe), ruthenium (Ru) or titanium (Ti), to form semi-insulating (si) InP (Fe) barrier layer 32.Add the iron tramp ion and increased the resistivity of first current barrier layer 32 and reduced leakage current, leakage current usually occurs on the interface between the substrate 10 and first current barrier layer 32.Similarly, second current barrier layer 34 can be mixed with foreign ion, such as silicon (Si), sulphur (S) or tin (Sn), and the barrier layer 34 of mixing with the InP that forms a N type.
Referring now to Fig. 5, after removing mask 20, on the upper surface of second current barrier layer 34 and Q layer 18, carry out the 3rd (inferior) crystal growth.Thus, p-InP of further growth (P type InP) coating 42 (being also referred to as buried regions) and a p-InGaAsP or a p-InGaAs ohmic contact layer 44, thus formed a buried heterostructure.Coating 42 can also be mixed with the p type impurity ion, such as zinc (Zn), magnesium (Mg) or beryllium (Be), and the coating 42 that mixes with the InP that forms a P type.Because zinc is the most frequently used P type dopant, coating 42 just will be known as InP (Zn) doped layer.
The method of making said structure has three major defects, these shortcomings are all relevant with the phase counterdiffusion with the diffusion of dopant atom, particularly relevant with the phase counterdiffusion with the diffusion of zinc, because zinc is prevailing and widely used P type dopant in optoelectronics industry.
The first, the zinc diffusion occurs in the active area of semi-insulating buried ridge.Fig. 5 demonstrate zinc on the arrow A direction from of the diffusion of doped p-InP (Zn) second coating 16, because two layers directly contact to active layer 14.The high diffusivity of zinc has caused undesirable skew of emission wavelength, and this skew reaches several microns of zero points.The distortion of whole zinc distribution has further had influence on the electrical characteristics of opto-electronic device.Excessive zinc has also caused the change of various device properties bad in the active layer 14 of this device architecture, the extinction ratio and the junction capacitance of these characteristics such as electroabsorption modulator structure.
The second, the counterdiffusion of iron-zinc (Fe-Zn) phase occurs on the interface between doped p-InP (Zn) second coating 16 and semi-insulating InP (Fe) first current barrier layer 32.Fig. 5 demonstrate zinc on arrow B 1 direction from of the diffusion of p-InP (Zn) second coating 16 to InP (Fe) first current barrier layer 32.Similarly, arrow B 2 demonstrations of Fig. 5 are tapped a blast furnace from the diffusion of InP (Fe) first current barrier layer 32 to p-InP (Zn) second coating 16.
The 3rd, the counterdiffusion of iron-zinc (Fe-Zn) phase occurs in the barrier structure of Laser Devices, more particularly is on the interface that occurs between semi-insulating InP (Fe) first current barrier layer 32 and p-InP (Zn) coating 42.The reason that problem produces is: the InP current barrier layer 32 of the doping iron that is covered by mask 20 at first, taken place to contact with the InP coating 42 of doping zinc after mask 20 is removed.Contact area is expressed as region D for example in Fig. 5, it is positioned at the transverse sides of banded table top 50.Counterdiffusion mutually at region D place iron and zinc atom can increase leakage current significantly and reduce device performance, thereby causes low productivity ratio.In addition, if active layer 14 has a Multiple Quantum Well (MQW) structure, the zinc impurity in the InP of doping zinc coating 42 just can enter active layer 14, thereby has formed mixed crystal and in fact made quantum effect reduce to zero.
For the diffusion and counterdiffusion mutually that suppresses the zinc doping atom, in the IC manufacturing process, introduced multiple different technology.For example, a kind of prior art has as shown in Figure 6 been considered to introduce the zinc doping braking measure in device architecture, such as a unadulterated InP layer 52.Unadulterated InP layer 52 after active layer 14 growth but before 16 growths of p-InP second coating, grow, thereby prevented direct contact between zinc and the active area.Substitute unadulterated InP layer 52, n-InP (Si) layer that also can adopt a doped silicon is as the dopant braking measure.
Although above-mentioned technology is preventing aspect the zinc diffusion good result is arranged, its procedure of processing needs extremely sensitive parameter, such as the coating of doping zinc and the doped level and the thickness of contact layer.In addition, also must very critically design, so that be best for every kind of device architecture and every kind of reactor braking measure such as growth conditionss such as growth rate and temperature.In addition, this method does not allow to control final zinc distribution.At last, selected during as the dopant braking measure when the n-InP of doped silicon (Si) layer, the N type dopant silicon of being introduced has just formed an extra unwanted p-n junction in the p-of device side.
The prior art that another kind is used for reducing zinc-iron phase counterdiffusion is presented at Fig. 7 for example.This technology is desirably between the InP coating 42 of InP (Fe) current barrier layer 32 of doping iron and doping zinc and inserts an intrinsic or unadulterated InP layer 70, prevents contact between InP (Fe) layer and InP (Zn) layer and elimination iron-zinc counterdiffusion and the leakage current that causes mutually.Yet a major defect of this technology is that it has influenced p-n junction between n-InP second current barrier layer 34 and the p-InP coating (buried regions) 42.More particularly, the adding of eigen I nP layer has changed should be at the p-n junction in the active area of Laser Devices, and replaces it and produced a p-i-n knot that changes device property fully.In addition, this method is not enough to prevent fully the iron-zinc phase counterdiffusion in the device active region near zone.
Correspondingly, need a kind of method that is formed for the banded table top of opto-electronic device, this method implementation cost is not high and can reduce the counterdiffusion mutually of leakage current and dopant atom.Also need a kind of opto-electronic semiconductor module, it has the good operation characteristic, comprises having reduced the foreign atom diffusion, reduced leakage current and having improved accuracy and functional reliability.
The invention provides a kind of method, be used to reduce the diffusion and/or the phase counterdiffusion of the dopant atom between the different doped regions of semi-insulating buried ridge structure of positive bias device (such as laser and image intensifer) and reverse bias device (such as electroabsorption modulator and wave detector).
In the first embodiment of the present invention, an InAlAs (arsenic aluminium indium) or an InGaAlAs (arsenic gallium aluminium indium) layer growth and are growths before the growth of the coating of doping zinc and contact layer subsequently on active area.Stop that by inserting a thin InAlAs or InGaAlAs layer zinc is diffused into active layer, allow accurately to arrange that the p-i knot (less than 100 dusts) and the dopant of minimum enter active area.
In the second embodiment of the present invention, an InAlAs or an InGaAlAs layer at first optionally are grown in above the active area also around mesa structure, be only conventional InP and n-InP current barrier layer subsequently and be grown on InAlAs or the InGaAlAs layer, they form second crystal growth around table top.Like this, the phase counterdiffusion between the zinc atom in iron atom in InP (Fe) current barrier layer and p-InP (Zn) second coating just has been suppressed, because do not have contact between these two doped regions.
In the third embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of InAlAs and/or InGaAlAs layer growth are on active area and around mesa structure, and routine second current barrier layer of alternative second crystal growth.
The similar of fourth embodiment of the invention and the 3rd embodiment.Yet in the 4th embodiment, InP (Fe) current barrier layer is to grow between two adjacent InAlAs and/or InGaAlAs layer, and InP (Fe) layer just has contacting of minimum with mask above being positioned at banded table top like this.
According to the of the present invention the 5th and the 6th embodiment, a plurality of InAlAs and/or InGaAlAs layer growth are on active area and center on mesa structure, and are between the barrier layer that forms second crystal growth.In the 5th embodiment, InAlAs and/or InGaAlAs layer be after two current barrier layers form, grow and as the part of second crystal growth.On the contrary, in the 6th embodiment, InAlAs and/or InGaAlAs layer are to grow as the part of the 3rd crystal growth and before the top coating forms.In any situation, these a plurality of InAlAs and/or InGaAlAs layer all suppress the phase counterdiffusion between the zinc atom in p-InP (Zn) coating of iron atom in InP (Fe) current barrier layer and the 3rd crystal growth.A plurality of InAlAs and/or InGaAlAs layer can be introduced the performance of optimizing opto-electronic device in barrier structure and/or the coat structure.

The invention provides a kind of method, be used for reducing the diffusion of dopant atom, and be used to reduce the phase counterdiffusion of dissimilar dopant atoms between the adjacent doped region of the ridge structure of the semi-insulating buried ridge structure of Laser Devices or image intensifer and electroabsorption modulator or wave detector at active area.Method of the present invention has used a plurality of InAlAs and/or InGaAlAs layer to avoid direct contact between the dopant atom in the adjacent barrier structure of direct contact between dopant atom and the active area and opto-electronic device.
Term " P type dopant " used in the following description can comprise any p type impurity ion, such as zinc (Zn), magnesium (Mg) or beryllium (Be) are wherein arranged.Because zinc is the most frequently used P type dopant, so related P type dopant is the zinc doping agent among the application.Although the present invention illustrates with reference to the zinc doping agent, can expect that a plurality of InAlAs of the present invention and/or InGaAlAs layer will play the effect that stops other P type dopant equally.
Similarly, below the term " N type dopant " that uses in the explanation can comprise any N type foreign ion, such as silicon (Si), sulphur (S) or tin (Sn) are wherein arranged.Although N type dopant related among the application is a silicon dopant, although and the present invention illustrate with reference to silicon dopant, can expect that a plurality of InAlAs of the present invention and/or InGaAlAs layer will play the effect that stops other N type dopant equally.
Used in the following description term " semi-insulating type impurity " can comprise the foreign ion on the semi-insulating barrier layer of any formation, such as iron (Fe), ruthenium (Ru) or titanium (Ti).Because iron is the most frequently used semi-insulating type impurity, so related semi-insulating type impurity is the iron dopant among the application.Equally, although the present invention describes with reference to iron, can expect that a plurality of InAlAs of the present invention and/or InGaAlAs layer will play the effect that stops other semi-insulating type dopant equally.Therefore, following detailed description must not be used as restrictive, and scope of the present invention will be limited by claims.
Referring now to accompanying drawing, wherein components identical is represented with identical reference number, Fig. 8-13 demonstrates the manufacture method of first embodiment of buried semi-insulating ridge heterostructure of the present invention (buried semi-insulating ridge heterostructure) 201 (Figure 13), and wherein zinc has been suppressed to being diffused into of active area of opto-electronic device.
At first, as shown in Figure 8, preferably have as primary flat<a n-InP substrate 110 of 100〉plane on, preferably first coating 112 of epitaxial growth n-InP and an active layer 114 continuously, active layer 114 has the quantum well structure of InGaAsP.It must be noted that although metallo-organic compound vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) method is preferred, method also can be used liquid phase epitaxy (LPE) method, vapor phase epitaxy (VPE) method or molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) method as an alternative.As known in the prior art, active layer 114 should be able to absorb, launch, amplify or modulate light, and this depends on the particular type of opto-electronic device.In addition, although the present invention should be mentioned that an exemplary N type substrate, working lining (operative layers) forms a NP knot around an active area thereon, but be to be understood that, the present invention has also considered (use) P type substrate, forms a corresponding PN junction around an active area thereon.
In addition, although describe embodiments of the invention with reference to the InAlAs layer below, this InAlAs layer is used to stop the diffusion and/or the phase counterdiffusion of dissimilar dopant impurities, but it must be understood that, same process conditions and process also are applicable to the InGaAlAs layer as diffusion impervious layer.Therefore, the present invention is not limited to use the InAlAs layer as the doping agent diffusion blocking layer, and the present invention is suitable for using the InGaAlAs layer as the doping agent diffusion blocking layer equally, perhaps uses the combination of InAlAs layer and InGaAlAs layer.
As following shown in Fig. 9, InAlAs layer 115 be formed on active layer 114 above.For example, InAlAs layer 115 can be epitaxially grown by MOVPE or LPE method, and its thickness arrives between about 800 dusts at about 300 dusts.Although these embodiment of the present invention describe with reference to InAlAs that forms and/or InGaAlAs layer 115, it must be understood that active area also can be at least one side and dopant blocking layer adjacency on active area (layer) 114.Term in the present specification " adjacency " (bounded) is meant that the dopant blocking floor contacts with active area or separates by another district or floor and active area.Under any circumstance, InAlAs layer 115 all serves as a zinc diffusion impervious layer, stops that zinc atom each layer above growth subsequently is diffused into the active layer 114.
Introduce a thin InAlAs layer extra advantage is provided.That is, the InAlAs layer bring excessive potential barrier can not for majority carrier or hole, because the InAlAs layer has formed II type heterojunction with adjacent layer, adjacent layer is exactly active layer (for example active layer 114 of Figure 10) and coating (for example coating 116 of Figure 10).The InAlAs layer has a band gap (E=1.44eV), and the band gap that it is higher than the band gap (E=0.8eV) of active area and is higher than adjacent coatings is (for example, for InP coating 116, E=1.35eV).Because these difference are between coating and active area, because this arrangement mode of band gap does not just have charge carrier to produce.
Next step after InAlAs layer 115 forms, according to the step of reference Fig. 1-5 description and according to prior art, is used to form the processing step of the semi-insulating buried ridge of a laser diode.Therefore, preferred one second coating 116 of epitaxial growth and a Q layer 118, as shown in figure 10, preferably the mix p-InP of zinc of second coating 116.Use one deck silica or silicon nitride mask 200 (Figure 10), the sandwich construction of Figure 10 is etched down into n-InP substrate 110, thereby has formed a shaped like narrow ridge structure or a banded table top 150 (Figure 11) on substrate 110.Etching can be by using for example conventional bromo-methanol solvate or comprising oxygenated water and the solvent of the mixture of hydrochloric acid is carried out.
With structural similarity shown in Figure 3, the banded ridge structure 150 of Figure 11 comprises the part of second coating 116 of part, p-InP (Zn) on part, the InAlAs zinc barrier layer 115 of part, the active layer 114 of first coating 112 of n-InP and the part of Q layer 118.As shown in figure 11, banded ridge structure 150 is on the upper surface of n-InP substrate 110.
After this, there is the banded ridge structure 150 of mask 200 to be introduced in a rheotaxial growth system or the MOCVD growing system, above to form one the one InP current barrier layer 132 and a n-InP current barrier layer 134 preferablyly, as shown in figure 12.Preferably, current barrier layer 132 and 134 is optionally grown around banded ridge structure 150 by metallo-organic compound vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) method.Current barrier layer 132 preferred a kind of semi-insulating type dopants that mix, such as iron (Fe), ruthenium (Ru) or titanium (Ti), doping content is 1 * 10 18Cm -3To 3 * 10 18Cm -3In the scope, the current barrier layer that semi-insulating to obtain (si) InP mixes here is the first semi-insulating current barrier layer InP (Fe) 132 (Figure 12).Similarly, second current barrier layer 134 can be mixed with foreign ion, such as silicon (Si), sulphur (S) or tin (Sn), and the barrier layer 134 of mixing with the InP that forms a N type.
Referring now to Figure 13, after removing mask 200 and selectively removing Q layer 118, on the upper surface of second current barrier layer 134 and Q layer 118, carry out the 3rd (inferior) crystal growth.Comprise Q layer 118 in the mesa structure although embodiments of the invention are described as, it must be understood that the present invention has considered the opto-electronic device that does not comprise Q layer (such as Q layer 118 (Figure 10-24)) equally.In addition,, embodiments of the invention have first and second current barrier layers, such as current barrier layer 132 and 134 (Figure 12-13 although being described as; Figure 16-18; Figure 22-24), but it must be understood that the present invention has considered to have the opto-electronic device of more than two current barrier layer as the part of second crystal growth equally, for example have the opto-electronic device of four current barrier layers of doping (agent) conductivity alternately.
As the part of the 3rd crystal growth, a preferred p-InP coating 142 of further growth (Figure 13) and p-InGaAsP or a p-NGaAs ohmic contact layer 144 (Figure 13), thus form a buried heterostructure.Coating 142 (Figure 13) preferred liquid phase epitaxial growth or MOCVD grow into 1.5 to 3 microns thickness, and preferably 2.5 microns, and a kind of p type impurity atom that mixes, such as zinc (Zn), magnesium (Mg) or beryllium (Be).For example, can pass through diethyl zinc (DEZ), with H2 as carrier gas and from approximately-15 ℃ under the temperature of 40 ℃ of variations, mixing.Similarly, ohmic contact layer 144 can be the InGaAs epitaxially grown layer of a for example zinc doping, and thickness is about 3000 dusts.
A N type electrode 162 (Figure 13) is formed on the lower surface of substrate 110, a P type electrode 164 (Figure 13) is formed on the upper surface of ohmic contact layer 144, to provide a voltage to buried semi-insulating ridge heterostructure 201, heterostructure 201 has an InAlAs layer 115, is used for stopping that zinc is diffused into the active area 114 of heterostructure.
In the second embodiment of the present invention (Figure 14-18), before the current barrier layer that constitutes second crystal growth forms, the InAlAs layer of optionally growing.For describing second embodiment, referring now to Figure 14, this figure demonstrates a banded ridge structure (banded table top) 151, and the banded ridge structure 150 of it and Figure 11 is similar, but does not have InAlAs layer 115.Therefore, banded ridge structure 151 comprises the part of a n-InP coating 112, the part of active layer 114, the part of the 2nd p-InP (Zn) coating 116 and the part of Q layer 118.As shown in figure 14, banded ridge structure 151 is on the upper surface of n-InP substrate 110.
Referring now to Figure 15, the banded table top 151 of Figure 14 is introduced in a rheotaxial growth system or the MOCVD growing system subsequently, to form an InAlAs layer 131.Preferably, InAlAs layer 131 is optionally to grow around the part of banded ridge structure 151 and n-InP substrate 110 by metallo-organic compound vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) method.InAlAs layer 131 can be epitaxially grown to about 300 dusts to the thickness between about 3000 dusts, and this thickness is enough to make InAlAs layer 131 to suppress the horizontal phase counterdiffusion of zinc-iron between the current barrier layer of growth subsequently.
