Reflective NEA GaN nanowire array photoelectric negative electrode and manufacturing method therefor

Abstract

The invention proposes a reflective NEA GaN nanowire array photoelectric negative electrode and a manufacturing method therefor. The reflective NEA GaN nanowire array photoelectric negative electrode is obtained by growing p-type GaN nanowires on the surface of an Si or SiC substrate and performing Cs/O activation on a grown nanowire array. The reflective NEA GaN nanowire array photoelectric negative electrode comprises a substrate layer and a nanowire array emission layer positioned on the surface of the substrate layer, wherein the nanowire array emission layer consists of a plurality of p-type GaN nanowires; Cs/O activation layers are adsorbed on the surfaces of the p-type GaN nanowires; and the substrate layer is Si or SiC. According to the reflective NEA GaN nanowire array photoelectric negative electrode, the photoelectron transmission distance can be reduced while the material emission rate is reduced; and photons are fully absorbed by controlling the diameters of the nanowires, so that the quantum efficiency of the GaN photoelectric negative electrode is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of photoelectric emission materials, and in particular relates to a reflective NEAGaN nanowire array photocathode and a preparation method. Background technique [0002] A photocathode is a photoemissive material that converts light signals into electrical signals by using the external photoelectric effect. GaN photocathode with negative electron affinity, that is, the vacuum energy level on the surface of the cathode is lower than the bottom energy level of the conduction band, so the photoexcited electrons in the body only need to run to the surface, and can be emitted to the vacuum through tunneling, without excess kinetic energy to overcome The potential barrier on the surface of the material greatly increases the escape probability of photoexcited electrons, so it has unique advantages such as high quantum efficiency, small dark current, and concentrated energy distribution of emitted electrons. Its qu...

Metal-organic chemical vapor deposition method has the disadvantages of expensive equipment, and the reaction raw materials are metal-organic compounds that are not easy to preserve, so the repeatability is not high; while the dry etching method is simple in equipment, low in cost and easy to implement, but because its reaction mechanism is through Corrosion of semiconductor materials finally forms nanowire arrays, so the lattice damage on the surface of nanowires is more serious, and the formed surface is rougher. In addition, the diameter of nanowires cannot reach the order of magnitude of the nanowire phot
