Problems solved by technology

[0004] 2. Due to ZnO(0001) and α-Al 2 o 3 There is a lattice mismatch of 18.3% between (0001), how to fully release the huge lattice mismatch strain and control the nucleation and growth at the interface to prepare high-quality ZnO thin films is still a big challenge.
However, due to the great difference between oxides and nitrides in many aspects, compared with GaN, the preparation of ZnO thin films has a large saturated vapor pressure and low viscosity coefficient of Zn, which leads to short migration length and easy island growth. and other shortcomings, it is difficult to fully release the mismatch strain

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing a high-quality ZnO monocrystal film on a sapphire substrate, which is the method for preparing the high-quality ZnO monocrystal film on the sapphire substrate by a surface, interface and buffer layer combined growth method and comprises the following concrete steps of: carrying out ultrahigh vacuum heat processing combined with oxygen plasma preprocessing on the surface of the sapphire (0001) substrate; then depositing a BeO buffer layer to supply an ideal template for the epitaxial growth of ZnO, and then preparing the high-quality ZnO film by a publicly known two-step growth method. The ZnO monocrystal film prepared according to the method has very good crystallization performance and is applicable for the manufacture of high-performance photoelectronic devices such as an ultraviolet detector and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of ZnO single crystal film preparation, in particular to a method for preparing high-quality ZnO single crystal film on a sapphire substrate. 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 preparation of high-performance short-wavelength optoelectronic devices. In order to realize its device application, the preparation of high-quality ZnO-based epitaxial film is an important basis. Although the ZnO single crystal substrate has been commercialized, its price is still very expensive at present. Therefore, the homoepitaxial growth technology of ZnO single crystal thin film cannot realize its industrial application at present, so the heterogeneous ...
