Problems solved by technology

However, the semiconductor materials used in the intrinsic region of traditional solid-state plasma PiN diodes are all silicon or germanium. The forbidden band width of silicon or germanium materials is very large, and the difference in the formed band gap is not large, which makes the carrier injection ratio of the device not tall
In addition, the PiN diodes currently studied all use metal as the contact electrode. The existence of metal electrodes greatly affects the integration performance and stealth performance of the antenna system, making the application of silicon-based solid-state plasma PiN diodes in future communication systems restricted

Abstract

The invention discloses a Si-GeSn-Si heterogeneous GeSn-based solid-state plasma PiN diode and a preparation method thereof, and the preparation method comprises the steps: selecting a GeOI substrate, and carrying out the doping in the GeOI substrate, so as to form a top layer GeSn region; arranging a deep groove isolating region in the GeSn region on the top layer of the substrate; etching the GeSn region to form a P-type groove and an N-type groove, wherein the depths of the P-type groove and the N-type groove are smaller than the thickness of the top-layer GeSn region; forming a P-type active region and an N-type active region in the P-type groove and the N-type groove by adopting ion implantation; and forming a GeSn alloy lead on the substrate. According to the invention, the top GeSn region is introduced to dynamically control the content of the Sn component in the top Ge, so that the forbidden band width of the intrinsic region is reduced. Due to the existence of the Si-GeSn-Si heterostructure, the forbidden band width difference can reach 0.7 eV, the carrier injection ratio is improved, and the solid-state plasma concentration and distribution uniformity are improved. The GeSn alloy lead is formed by adopting the RPCVD technology, a metal electrode in a traditional diode is replaced, and the integration level and the stealth performance of an antenna system are greatly improved.
