Abstract
本发明提供的AlGaN单极载流子日盲紫外探测器,基于AlGaN极化效应,利用p-AlzGa1-zN/i-A yGa1-yN/n-Al xGa 1-xN(0.45=<x,z<y)的双异质结作为探测器的主要结构,充分利用由n型AlGaN指向p型AlGaN的极化内建电场增强i型吸收区的电场强度,增强载流子吸收分离效率;同时,利用p-Al zGa1-zN/i-AlyGa 1-yN异质结的价带带阶有效限制空穴进入吸收区与电子复合,提高载流子寿命;与此同时,在器件制备时设计结构,令光生空穴难以参与到光电导中,实现电子单极导电,从而获得高响应速度和高增益电流。
Description
本发明涉及半导体技术领域,特别涉及一种AlGaN单极载流子日盲紫外探测器。
波长处于200nm~280nm的太阳辐射极少能到达地球表面,因而在军事及民用领域日盲紫外探测都有着非常重要的应用。AlGaN材料的禁带宽度在3.4eV至6.2eV连续可调,对应的波长在200nm至365nm,是日盲紫外探测器的重要基础材料之一。目前,多种基于AlGaN材料的紫外探测器被研究,其结构类型包括光电导型、肖特基型、MSM型、p-n结型以及APD型。当前,各种类型的AlGaN基日盲紫外探测器均基于电子与空穴同时导电的工作模式。在此模式之下,电子空穴复合概率提高、复合速率增加、载流子寿命缩短。由此将引起探测器增益值低下、复合噪声强、响应速度慢,难以满足高速度、高灵敏度的探测需求。
AlGaN材料具有很强的自发极化效应。根据高斯定理,极化强度的变化将在界面位置引起极化电荷,极化电荷的密度和带电类型由极化强度变化的大小与方向决定。AlGaN材料丰富的异质结结构为极化电场的调控和利用创造了良好的条件。对于AlGaN异质结而言,当沿着(0001)方向生长的异质结组分变大,则在界面处形成正极化电荷;当沿着(0001)方向生长的异质结组分减小,则在界面处形成负极化电荷。当形成双异质结AlGaN后,由于界面电荷的作用,异质结AlGaN区域将产生极化内建电场。该极化内建电场对于光生载流子的分离可以起到重要作用,对于探测器结构的设计具有显著作用。
