Problems solved by technology

The existing silicon-based Ge quantum dot self-organized growth methods mainly include chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). These two technologies have successfully applied Ge quantum dots to various photodetectors. However, when using these technologies to prepare quantum dot materials, there are problems of high production cost, complex process, and low production efficiency, which is not conducive to large-scale industrial production, thereby increasing the production cost of quantum dot devices.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for intermittently growing single-layer Ge quantum dots with high dimensional homogeneity on a buffer layer by landfill, which uses ion beam sputtering technology, belonging to the technical field of semiconductor quantum material preparation. In the method, ion beam sputtering technology is adopted and an Si buffer layer with thickness of 20-60nm is intermittently grown on the pretreated silicon substrate material by turning a Ge target and a high-purity Si target, and then the single-layer Ge quantum dots with thickness of 2.0-3.0nm are intermittently grown on the Si buffer layer in a self-assembledmanner. Through intermittent growth, the method effectively solves the following problems: multi-layer growth needs to be carried out on the quantum dots to control the dimensional homogeneity of thequantum dots when the quantum dot materials are prepared, the crystallinity and the controllability of the quantum dots are poor, the height-width ratio is low and Ge / Si intermixing is seriously insufficient, and the quantum dot materials used for preparing quantum dot devices are obtained by the method. Besides, the method is low in production cost, good in controllability and easy for industrial production and is simple and efficient.
