Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of detection, in particular to a detection unit, an ultra-wideband light detector and a detection method. BACKGROUND

[0002] The light detector can convert the optical signal into the electrical signal, and then detect the optical power incident to the surface thereof. The ultra-wideband light detector can simultaneously detect different wave bands, such as ultraviolet, visible light, infrared and even terahertz electromagnetic wave radiation, and has a very important role in many fields such as infrared imaging, remote sensing, environmental monitoring, astronomical detection and spectral analysis. However, due to the limitation of photosensitive materials, the current light detector can only work in a specific wave band, and the current ultra-wideband spectral detection is realized by integrating different wave band detection methods and ensuring that each part works synchronously. The biggest problem of this method is that the device structure is very complex, which is difficult to apply to practice. Therefore, using a single device for terahertz to ultraviolet ultra-wideband light detection has become a research hotspot at present.

[0003] Restricted by the size of the material itself band gap, the detectors based on WSe2 (see Kim H S, Chauhan K R, Kim J, et al. Flexible vanadium oxide film for broadband transparent photodetector [J]. Applied Physics Letters, 2017, 110(10): 101907.), Bi single crystal (see Yao J D, Shao J M, Yang G W. Ultra-broadband and high-responsive photodetectors based on bismuth film at room temperature [J]. Scientific Reports, 2015, 5: 12320.), MoS2 (see Xie Y, Zhang B, Wang S, et al. Ultrabroadband MoS2 Photodetector with Spectral Response from 445 to 2717nm [J]. Advanced Materials, 2017, 29(17): 1605972.) and black phosphorus (see Xie Y, Zhang B, Wang S, et al. Ultrabroadband MoS2 Photodetector with Spectral Response from 445 to 2717nm [J]. Advanced Materials, 2017, 29(17): 1605972.) can only achieve broadband detection from ultraviolet to infrared band, and it is difficult to cover the terahertz band. Graphene and topological insulator have Dirac cone energy band structure, and are considered as the darling of ultra-wideband optical detection. Unfortunately, for graphene, the light absorption rate of single-layer graphene is only 2.3%, which makes the responsivity of graphene detector only a few mV / W (CN 107104167A). For topological insulator, only the surface has Dirac cone structure, and also faces the problem of low absorption. In addition, the zero band gap structure makes the dark current of graphene and topological insulator-based optical detection larger, which seriously affects the signal-to-noise ratio of the device.Although there are graphene heterojunctions (see Highly Sensitive, Gate-Tunable, Room-Temperature Mid-Infrared Photodetection Based on Graphene-Bi2Se3 Heterostructure), topological insulator heterojunctions (see Yao, J.; Shao, J.; Wang, Y.; Zhao, Z.; Yang, G. Ultra-broadband and high response of the Bi2Te3-Si heterojunction and its application as a photodetector at room temperature in harsh working environments. Nanoscale 2015, 7, 12535-12541.) and graphene detectors with three-dimensional microtube structures (CN107394001A), however, they either need additional bias or need to introduce relatively complex preparation processes, which restricts the application of the devices in practice. In summary, an ultra-wideband spectral detector covering terahertz to ultraviolet is needed for further research. SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] In order to make the purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the drawings. It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other in any manner without conflict.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 the ultra-wideband light probe of the first embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the probe comprises a detection unit and a detection circuit 11 for collecting data of the detection unit, wherein the detection unit comprises a NbS3 crystal sheet 1 and electrodes, two electrodes are arranged at the two ends of the NbS3 crystal sheet 1 in the length direction and form ohmic contact with the NbS3 crystal sheet 1, and the two electrodes are electrically connected with the detection circuit 11. Thus, the probe can convert the light irradiated thereon into an electrical signal, which is read out by the detection circuit 11, thereby realizing ultra-wideband light detection.

[0043] First, the NbS3 crystal sheet 1 is composed of NbS3 crystal and has a long strip shape. NbS3 is a typical quasi-one-dimensional semiconductor material, which has rich physical properties, such as Peierls phase transition and charge density wave. In recent years, low-dimensional materials with unique physical properties have gradually become a research hotspot, which also opens up a new research field of ultra-wideband detection methods. At present, the research on terahertz detection based on low-dimensional materials is mostly focused on two-dimensional materials such as graphene and black phosphorus. In addition to these materials, there are still many quasi-one-dimensional materials to be explored, such as the above-mentioned NbS3. However, the current research on NbS3 is mostly focused on crystal structure, band structure and charge density wave phase transition characteristics, and there is little research on photoelectric detection methods or even terahertz detection methods.

[0044] For example, Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the two electrodes are two metal electrodes of the same material, which are respectively provided with source electrode 2 and drain electrode 3. The source electrode 2 and the drain electrode 3 are both in the form of a sheet and are respectively arranged on the upper surface of the NbS3 crystal sheet 1 and form a good ohmic contact with the NbS3 crystal sheet 1. Thus, after the NbS3 crystal sheet 1 and the two electrodes are fixed, a "NbS3-metal" heterojunction is formed. At the same time, the source electrode 2 and the drain electrode 3 are respectively electrically connected to the detection circuit 11 through a lead wire (not shown in the figure) to form a loop, so as to transmit the electrical signal generated by the NbS3 crystal sheet 1 to the detection circuit 11 for measurement.

[0045] In addition, the detector further includes a substrate 4 for supporting the detection unit. The substrate 4 is in the form of a sheet, and the NbS3 crystal sheet 1 is fixed on the upper end surface of the substrate 4. The substrate 4 can provide stable mechanical support for the detector, and the material thereof includes but is not limited to sapphire, Si / SiO2, quartz, glass or mica. In this embodiment, the substrate 4 is made of sapphire.

[0046] Thus, it can be seen that the detector is simple to prepare and has relatively low cost. Moreover, the detection method is also simple and fast. Specifically, the detection method mainly includes fixing the detector, irradiating the detector and collecting the data of the detection circuit 11. During detection, first, the substrate of the detector is fixed on a stable optical translation stage so that it can face the light directly. Second, the light source is turned on so that the light rays 10 can be focused on the "NbS3-metal" heterojunction through the optical path, i.e., the light spot falls on the NbS3 crystal sheet 1. The diameter of the light spot should be smaller than the length of the NbS3 crystal sheet 1. In general, the size of the light spot in the laboratory is usually 1-2 mm, so that the light spot can only fall on one place of the NbS3 crystal sheet 1 and cannot cover the entire NbS3 crystal sheet 1. At this time, under the irradiation of the light, the temperature of the NbS3 crystal material rises, generating a photothermal effect, thereby generating a significant current in a few milliseconds. The current intensity depends on the power of the electromagnetic wave, and the photocurrent in the loop increases linearly with the increase of the power of the electromagnetic wave. It can also be understood that the irradiation of the light rays will cause a temperature difference between the two ends of the detection unit, and this temperature difference will generate a potential difference proportional to the light intensity between the two ends. Finally, the potential difference can be amplified and read out by the detection circuit 11, thereby realizing the ultra-wideband light detection. Thus, it can be seen that the detection response is less than 10 milliseconds, the response is fast, the reaction is sensitive, and the detection bandwidth is ultra-wide, which can cover the ultraviolet to terahertz waveband and has wide application.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 3The ultra-wideband light detector of the second embodiment of the present application. The detector comprises a detecting unit and a detecting circuit for collecting data of the detecting unit, wherein the detecting unit further comprises a NbS3 crystal sheet 1 and electrodes, and two electrodes of the detector are metal electrodes of different materials, i.e. the source electrode 2 and the drain electrode 3 are of different materials, so that the detecting unit forms a heterojunction of "NbS3-metal". In addition, a coupling antenna can be arranged at the electrodes to improve the absorption.

[0048] Thus, in the detecting process, the size of the selected light spot should be much larger than the length of the NbS3 crystal sheet 1, so that the light irradiates on the whole detecting unit. Since the materials of the two metal electrodes at the two ends of the detecting unit are different, the Fermi energy levels at the two ends are different, so that the Seebeck coefficients at the two ends are different. The photothermal effect is generated under the light irradiation, which can generate a significant current in a few milliseconds, and the current intensity depends on the power of the electromagnetic wave. With the increase of the power of the electromagnetic wave, the photocurrent in the loop linearly increases, and the data can be read out by the detecting circuit to realize the ultra-wideband light detection.

[0049] Please refer to Figures 4 to 6 The ultra-wideband light detector of the third embodiment of the present application. Compared with the detector of the first embodiment, the detecting unit further comprises a gate dielectric layer 5, a gate electrode 6 and an antenna, and the two electrodes are the source electrode 2 and the drain electrode 3.

[0050] Specifically, the gate dielectric layer 5 is laid on the upper surface of the heterojunction formed by the NbS3 crystal sheet 1 and the two electrodes, and the gate dielectric layer 5 includes but is not limited to SiO2, Al2O3, HfO2 or hexagonal boron nitride. In this embodiment, the gate dielectric layer 5 is made of SiO2. The gate electrode 6 is also in the form of a sheet, which is deposited on the upper end of the gate dielectric layer 5 and located at the center of the NbS3 crystal sheet 1. The gate electrode 6 can gate control the detecting unit through the gate dielectric layer. In addition, the source electrode 2 and the gate electrode 6 are both provided with an antenna, which comprises a first antenna 7 arranged on the source electrode 2 and a second antenna 8 arranged on the gate electrode 6. The first antenna 7 and the second antenna 8 are both metal pieces, and form a bowtie antenna which can be coupled under the condition of being electrified. The antenna is not limited to the bowtie antenna, and can also be a spiral antenna or a logarithmic-periodic antenna. Meanwhile, the drain electrode 3 is connected to the detecting circuit 11 through a metal wire 9, and the source electrode 2 is also connected to the detecting circuit 11, forming a loop.

[0051] The size of the selected light spot is much larger than the length of the NbS3 crystal sheet 1 during the detection process, so that the light is irradiated on the entire detection unit. Under the light irradiation condition, due to the antenna coupling, the channel material (i.e. the NbS3 crystal) between the source electrode 2 and the gate electrode 6 absorbs more energy, and the temperature is higher than that of the material between the gate electrode 6 and the drain electrode 3, thereby generating a photo-thermal effect, and a significant current is generated within a few milliseconds. The current intensity depends on the power of the electromagnetic wave, and as the power of the electromagnetic wave increases, the photocurrent in the loop linearly increases, and the detection circuit 11 can read the data to realize the ultra-wideband light detection.

[0052] Referring to Figure 7 The ultra-wideband light detector of the fourth embodiment of the present application shown in FIG. 4, compared with the detector of the first embodiment, the substrate 4 is provided with a plurality of detection units, and the plurality of detection units are arranged in a linear array, and can also be arranged in a surface array.

[0053] Specifically, the substrate 4 includes a first substrate 4-1 and a second substrate 4-2 arranged at intervals, and the first substrate 4-1 and the second substrate 4-2 are arranged in parallel. The two electrodes of any detection unit are fixed on the first substrate and the second substrate respectively, as shown in Figure 7 The drain electrode 3 is arranged on the side of the second substrate 4-2 facing away from the first substrate 4-1, and the source electrode 2 is arranged on the side of the first substrate 4-1 facing the second substrate 4-2. Notably, the NbS3 crystal sheet 1 is in a cylindrical shape, one end of which penetrates through the second substrate 4-2 and forms a good ohmic contact with the drain electrode 3, and the other end is fixed on the first substrate 4-1 and forms a good ohmic contact with the source electrode 2. Of course, the source electrode 2 and the drain electrode 3 can also be arranged on the first substrate 4-1 and the second substrate 4-2 respectively, facing each other or facing away from each other. In addition, a plurality of detection circuits 11 (not shown in the figure) correspond to the detection units one by one, and read the potential difference generated by each corresponding detection unit.

[0054] Therefore, when the same or different light irradiates the plurality of detection units at the same time, by reading the data of each detection unit, the plurality of ultra-wideband light detection processes can be carried out simultaneously.

[0055] Referring to Figure 8 The ultra-wideband light detector of the fifth embodiment of the present application shown in FIG. 5, compared with the detector of the first embodiment, includes a plurality of detection units and a substrate 4, and the plurality of substrates 4 and the detection units correspond to each other to form a surface array.

[0056] Specifically, a plurality of identical substrates 4 are arranged on the same plane, and the NbS3 crystal sheet 1 is arranged between the source electrode 2 and the drain electrode 3, and is arranged on one side of the substrate 4 and forms a good ohmic contact with the source electrode 2 and the drain electrode 3, respectively. In addition, the source electrode 2 and the drain electrode 3 are both rectangular in cross section, both extend through the substrate 4 and extend downward to form pins, and the two pins can be inserted into the interface of the detection circuit 11 (not shown in the figure), thereby eliminating the lead connection. A plurality of detection circuits 11 (not shown in the figure) correspond to the detection units one by one, and respectively read the data of the corresponding detection units.

[0057] Therefore, when the same or different light rays simultaneously irradiate a plurality of detection units, by reading the data of each detection unit, a plurality of ultra-wideband light detection processes can be performed simultaneously.

[0058] In combination with the above embodiments, it can be seen that the detection bandwidth of the detector can cover from ultraviolet to terahertz waveband, has an ultra-wide detection bandwidth, and also has the advantages of high-speed sensitivity and rapid response. At the same time, the detector is simple to prepare and low in cost, and has a broad prospect in practical applications. In addition, although the detector in the above embodiments is realized by the photothermal electric effect, however, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that in other embodiments, other detection principles including but not limited to radiation heat effect, pyroelectric effect, etc. can also be used.
