  • 摘要: 为了实现硅基雪崩光电二极管蓝光波段(400~500 nm)高光响应度,设计了SACM型基本器件结构,探究了倍增层厚度对器件的雪崩击穿电压及光电流增益的影响及倍增层掺杂浓度对光响应度的影响,综合考虑光响应度和击穿电压的因素,结果表明:当表面非耗尽层掺杂浓度为1.0×1018 cm−3、厚度为0.03 μm;吸收层掺杂浓度为1.0×1015 cm−3、厚度为1.3 μm;场控层掺杂浓度为8.0×1016 cm−3、厚度为0.2 μm;倍增层掺杂浓度为1.8×1016 cm−3、厚度为0.5 μm时,器件具有较低的击穿电压Vbr-apd=34.2 V。当Vapd=0.95 Vbr-apd,该结构在蓝光波段具较高的光响应度(SR=3.72~6.08 A·W−1)。上述研究结果对高蓝光探测响应度Si-APD实际器件的制备具有一定的参考价值。
