Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of nanowire photoelectric detector preparation, and in particular to a β-Ga2O3 nanowire / p-Si heterojunction photoelectric detector and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Solar-blind ultraviolet photodetectors with low noise and strong anti-interference capabilities have broad application prospects in fire alarm, ozone monitoring, missile tracking and other fields. β-Ga2O3 nanowires have become an ideal material for making solar-blind ultraviolet photodetectors due to their wide bandgap of 4.9eV, high specific surface area and crystal quality. However, there are still problems with β-Ga2O3 nanowire photodetectors, such as cumbersome preparation process and low conductivity. The preparation process of a few nanowire array devices is relatively simple, and the nanowire network is dispersed on the surface of the interdigitated electrode to make a device, but the connection between the nanowire and the electrode is not tight enough, and the density of the nanowire is reduced after dispersion, which is not conducive to giving full play to the advantages of the nanowire network.

[0003] Moreover, most of the existing nanowire photodetectors are single nanowire devices, and their preparation method is to disperse the nanowires and then make electrodes at both ends of the single nanowire. The preparation process is relatively complex, the technical requirements are high, and the photoelectric performance is low. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the deficiencies of the above-mentioned prior art, the object of the present invention is to provide a β-Ga2O3 nanowire / p-Si heterojunction photodetector and a method for preparing the same. The preparation method of the present invention provides a way to combine a one-dimensional nanowire with a two-dimensional substrate to make a heterojunction photodetector, simplifies the preparation process of the nanowire photodetector, and obtains excellent photoelectric performance.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A method for preparing a β-Ga2O3 nanowire / p-Si heterojunction photoelectric detector comprises the following steps:

[0007] Au particles and p-Si substrate are placed in an evaporator for evaporation, and areas containing Au film and areas without Au film are formed on the surface of the p-Si substrate. In the preparation for evaporation, the p-Si substrate is fixed on the sample stage of the evaporator with heat-resistant glue. The evaporated Au particles form an Au film on the substrate surface, while the substrate area covered by the heat-resistant glue has no Au film, which provides convenience for the subsequent production of electrodes on the p-Si surface.

[0008] The p-Si substrate after evaporation is annealed to make the Au film melt and aggregate into Au nanoparticles. By controlling the distribution of Au nanoparticles, areas containing Au nanoparticles and areas without Au nanoparticles are simultaneously formed on the surface of the p-Si substrate.

[0009] The Ga single element raw material and the annealed p-Si substrate are placed in a closed tubular furnace, air is introduced to provide an O source, and heating is performed to make the Ga single element grow β-Ga2O3 nanowires in the area containing Au nanoparticles, and the area without Au nanoparticles is still the p-Si substrate. The growth temperature is regulated by controlling the distance between the p-Si and Ga raw materials in the tubular furnace. Different distances lead to different growth temperatures, and the material morphology formed is also different.

[0010] Electrodes are respectively fabricated on the surface of the β-Ga2O3 nanowire and the surface of the p-Si substrate without nanowire growth to obtain a β-Ga2O3 nanowire / p-Si heterojunction photodetector.

[0011] By controlling the distribution of Au nanoparticles, areas containing Au nanoparticles and areas without Au nanoparticles are simultaneously formed on the surface of the p-Si substrate. Then, the growth temperature is regulated by controlling the distance between the p-Si and Ga raw materials in the tube furnace. After the material growth, the areas containing Au nanoparticles grow β-Ga2O3 nanowire materials, while the areas without Au nanoparticles remain p-Si. Finally, electrodes are made on the surfaces of p-Si and β-Ga2O3 nanowires respectively to form a heterojunction photodetector with a type II energy band structure, thereby improving the separation efficiency of electron-hole pairs and improving the photoelectric performance.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the distance between the p-Si substrate and the Ga element in the tube furnace is 8 cm to 9 cm.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the heating temperature of the tube furnace is 850°C to 950°C.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the heating time of the tube furnace is 30 min to 60 min.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the evaporation time is 20 s to 40 s.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the annealing temperature is 600° C. to 800° C., and the annealing time is 20 min to 40 min.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the method for making silver electrodes on the surface of β-Ga2O3 nanowires and the surface of a p-Si substrate without nanowire growth is to first make circular silver paste on the surface of β-Ga2O3 nanowires and the surface of a p-Si substrate without nanowire growth, and then keep it at 50°C to 70°C for 0.5h to 1h to evaporate the water in the silver paste to form a silver electrode.

[0018] Another object of the present invention is to provide a β-Ga2O3 nanowire / p-Si heterojunction photodetector prepared by any of the preparation methods described above.

[0019] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, Au nanoparticles are only used as a catalyst for the growth material, and the content is extremely low and does not appear in the device. Electrodes are also made on the surface of the p-Si substrate and belong to the same layer as the nanowires. Therefore, the heterojunction photodetector includes, from bottom to top, a p-Si substrate, β-Ga2O3 nanowires and an Ag electrode on the surface of the p-Si substrate, and an Ag electrode on the surface of the β-Ga2O3 nanowires.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. The present invention controls the distribution of Au nanoparticles to simultaneously form an area containing Au nanoparticles and an area without Au nanoparticles on the surface of a p-Si substrate, and then controls the growth temperature by controlling the distance between p-Si and Ga raw materials in a tube furnace. After the material growth, the area containing Au nanoparticles grows β-Ga2O3 nanowire materials, while the area without Au nanoparticles remains p-Si. Finally, electrodes are made on the surfaces of p-Si and β-Ga2O3 nanowires to form a heterojunction photodetector with a type II energy band structure, thereby improving the separation efficiency of electron-hole pairs and improving photoelectric performance. The device structure prepared by the present invention makes electrodes on the p-Si substrate and the β-Ga2O3 nanowire surface respectively, the method is relatively simple, the technical requirements and cost are low, and the light capture effect of the nanowire network and the carrier separation effect of the type II energy band heterojunction can be brought into play, which is conducive to improving the photoelectric performance.

[0022] 2. The preparation method of the β-Ga2O3 nanowire / p-Si heterojunction photodetector provided by the present invention provides a way to combine a one-dimensional nanowire with a two-dimensional substrate to make a heterojunction photodetector, simplifies the preparation process of the nanowire photodetector, and obtains excellent photoelectric performance. According to experimental tests, the prepared β-Ga2O3 nanowire / p-Si heterojunction photodetector obtained an optical switching ratio of 5309 and a power consumption of 3.93×10 12Jones specific detectivity, 30 / 20ms response / decay time, etc. In addition, at zero bias and 580μW / cm 2 Under 254nm light, the photocurrent of the device is significantly improved by two orders of magnitude compared to the dark current.

[0023] 3. The preparation method of the present invention has the advantages of high material quality and output, simple device preparation method and low cost, which will promote the practical application of β-Ga2O3 nanowire-based solar-blind ultraviolet photodetectors.
