The invention relates to the field of process
processing, in particular to a method for forming a
nanopillar array on a
semiconductor substrate, which comprises the following steps of: providing the
semiconductor substrate,
coating photoresist on the
semiconductor substrate, and photoetching on the
photoresist to form a pattern; a
mask layer is formed on the prepared pattern, and
light propagation is stopped through the
mask layer; according to the method, a semiconductor substrate containing a
mask layer is subjected to
electrochemical etching, patterns with different heights are obtained by controlling
etching conditions, then the
mask layer is removed, the semiconductor substrate comprises a
silicon carbide substrate slice or a
gallium nitride substrate slice, the length and width of the semiconductor substrate are 2-8 inches, the thickness of the semiconductor substrate is 200-500 micrometers, and the thickness of the semiconductor substrate is 1-10 micrometers. An
electron beam
direct writing technology is adopted in the photoetching mode, and the pattern is in a
nanopillar array shape. By adopting the
photoelectrochemical etching method, the large-scale preparation of the nano-pillar array with controllable
diameter size and height can be realized on the surface of the
wafer-level
wide bandgap semiconductor substrate slice, the process is simple, and the yield is high.
