The invention discloses a
semiconductor composite material and a preparation method and application thereof. The
semiconductor composite material comprises a
semiconductor substrate, a functional layer and a first
metal layer which are stacked in sequence, the functional layer comprises a doped layer; the
doping layer comprises a compound AB and a
doping element X doped in the compound AB; in the compound AB, A comprises
Zn element, and B comprises at least one element of Se, Te or S; the
doping element X comprises at least one of B, Al, Ga, In, Tl, Sc, Y, lanthanides or actinides. The functional layer prepared by the method has the characteristics of
low work function and
high electron concentration at the same time, can effectively induce selective collection of electrons, and can realize good contact between the semiconductor substrate and the first
metal layer, so that the obtained semiconductor
composite material has low contact resistivity; therefore, the
energy loss generated when the current passes through the
metal-semiconductor interface is effectively reduced, and the overall
energy consumption of the device is reduced.
