Problems solved by technology

[0003]The sun is a source of high-intensity ultraviolet radiation. According to the transmission characteristics of solar radiation in the atmosphere, near-ultraviolet light (310nm ~ 400nm) can reach the earth through the atmosphere On the surface, the GaN-based ultraviolet detector increases the background noise and affects the detection rate of the detector. Therefore, the GaN photocathode cannot meet the needs of solar blind detection very well, and the AlGaN ultraviolet photocathode is changed on the basis of the GaN photocathode. The value of the Al component x can adjust the response range of the ultraviolet photocathode, improve the detection rate, and make the ultraviolet vacuum detector meet the needs of detecting targets in different response bands, which can solve the above problems well

Abstract

The invention provides a transmission-type AlGaN ultraviolet photocathode and a preparation method thereof. The cathode assembly is composed of a high-quality sapphire substrate, a p-type uniformly-doped AlN buffer layer and a p-type variable-component AlxGa1-xN emission layer from bottom to top. The thickness of the AlN buffer layer is 50-500nm, the AlN buffer layer adopts a p-type uniform doping method, and the doped atom is Mg. The variable-component AlxGa1-xN emission layer is composed of N AlxGa1-xN sub layers, wherein N>=1, the components of Al of the p-type AlxGa1-xN sub layers from top to bottom are respectively x1, x2,...x(n-1) and xn, and 0.24<=x1<=x2<=...<=x(n-1)<=xn<=1. The total thickness of the variable-component AlxGa1-xN emission layer is 20-150nm, the doped atom is Mg, and the doping concentration of Mg meets the following condition: 1*10<14>cm<-3><=Nc<=1*10<18>cm<-3>. A negative electron affinity surface is obtained by adopting ultra-high vacuum high-temperature purification and the Cs / O activation technology. The transmission-type AlGaN ultraviolet photocathode is obtained.
