Abstract

The invention discloses a silicon-based double heterojunction visible-blind UV detector and a manufacturing method thereof. The detector comprises a p-Si substrate, an MgO insulating layer, an n-ZnO-based thin film layer, an n-type ohmic contact electrode and a p-type ohmic contact electrode. The manufacturing method of the detector comprises the following steps: the MgO insulating layer is grownon a clean Si substrate by an epitaxial growth device, and the n-ZnO-based thin film layer is grown on the MgO insulating layer; the n-type ohmic contact electrode is deposited on the n-ZnO-based thinfilm layer by the well-known photo lithography and the well-known metal thin film deposition method; and the p-type ohmic contact electrode is deposited on the back face of the Si substrate. By the manufacturing method, high-performance visible-blind UV detectors can be manufactured on semiconductor Si substrates which are cheap and have mature integrated process.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a silicon-based double heterojunction visible-blind ultraviolet detector and its manufacturing method, especially obtained by inserting a layer of insulator material MgO between a p-Si substrate and a wide-bandgap semiconductor n-ZnO-based thin film Double heterojunction photodetectors with visible-blind ultraviolet response and methods for their fabrication. Background technique [0002] As the core basic material of the third-generation semiconductor, ZnO has very superior photoelectric properties. Its room temperature bandgap is 3.37eV and the free exciton binding energy is 60meV. An important wide-bandgap semiconductor material has a very broad application prospect in the field of low-threshold, high-efficiency short-wavelength optoelectronic devices. ZnO-based UV detectors are currently one of the most promising applications. Because ZnO-based thin films have good photoconductive properties, they have great application v...
