Abstract

The invention relates to a micron / nanocone array of germanium and a preparation method thereof. The micron / nanocone array of germanium, which is disclosed by the invention, is obtained by chemically etching a monocrystalline germanium slice and comprises a plurality of micron / nanocones of germanium, wherein the length of the micron / nanocone of germanium in the array is 5-40mum; and the diameter of the tip end is 50-100nm. The preparation method disclosed by the invention is simple, is free from high temperature and a metal catalyst, can be carried out at normal pressure and provides a simple and economic method for preparing a micro structure of germanium. By changing the concentrations and the temperatures of various components in an etching solution, the micron / nanocone array structure of germanium, with great length-diameter ratio, can be obtained and the morphology can be adjusted in a wider range, which provides a simple and controllable method for preparing the micron / nanocone array structure of germanium.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a micron / nano cone array of germanium and a method for preparing the micron / nano cone array of germanium based on a chemical etching method. Background technique [0002] Germanium is an important semiconductor material. Due to its special energy band structure and high carrier mobility, germanium is widely used in the fields of infrared optics, photovoltaics and electronics industries. For example, germanium is used as an infrared optical material for infrared detection; as a high-efficiency solar cell material, it absorbs energy in the long-wavelength spectral range; as a high-speed switching device, germanium tunnel diodes are widely used in various aerospace instruments. Especially in recent years, due to the miniaturization and integration of devices, the micro / nanostructure of germanium has attracted more and more attention. At present, the preparation of germanium micro / nanostructures mainly includes hydrothermal method...
