Embodiment 1

[0059] (1) Depositing an aluminum film on a silicon wafer: Deposit an aluminum film with a thickness of 1 μm on a single crystal silicon by magnetron sputtering.

[0060] (2) Annealing: anneal the silicon wafer after the aluminum film is deposited in a nitrogen atmosphere at 350° C. for 6 h to increase the grain size of the deposited aluminum film and improve the bonding degree between it and the substrate.

Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method of a small-size density-controllable silicon nanodot array, relating to a preparation method of the silicon nanodot array. The preparation method comprises the following steps of: depositing an aluminum film on a substrate, then annealing and anodizing the aluminum film; removing silica dots on the surfaces of the formed anodized aluminum film and the silicon substrate, namely, forming a silicon nanodot array with larger size on the surface of a sample; and deoxidizing the sample to obtain the large-area, uniform, small-size density-controllable silicon nanodot array without an insulated barrier layer. The prepared silicon nanodots are uniform in size distribution and controllable in size and density; and no insulated layer exists between the silicon nanodots and the substrate, so that preparation of electric/photoelectric components is facilitated; meanwhile, the preparation method disclosed by the invention is simple in process conditions and free of complex equipment and has favorable application prospect in large-scale industrial production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing a silicon nano-dot array, in particular to a method for preparing a silicon-controlled nano-dot array with a small size and density by an electrochemical etching method. Background technique [0002] In the early 1990s, Canham et al. [1，2] Si or SiGe nanostructures prepared by electrochemical anodic corrosion (mainly composed of nanostructures with a diameter less than 5nm [2] ), a strong visible emission was observed at room temperature. This finding has aroused great interest in the luminescence of Si-based nanostructures. [0003] In the past 20 years, great progress has been made in the preparation methods of Si-based nanostructures. At present, the common preparation methods of Si-based nanostructures are as follows: [0004] (1) Laser Ablation Deposition (PLD) [0005] Laser ablation deposition uses a focused pulsed laser beam with a certain wavelength and energy density to irradiate a single c...
