Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of micro-nano electronic devices, and more specifically, relates to an integrated vacuum electron tube device structure and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] An integrated vacuum electron tube is a type of field effect device that uses a micro-nano vacuum channel as a carrier transmission "medium", and has the characteristics of fast response speed, high working frequency, low device power consumption, concentrated electron energy, wide working temperature range, and strong anti-radiation interference ability, and has broad application prospects in the fields of aerospace, national defense, high-speed data processing, and high-frequency communication. The integrated vacuum electron tube device includes an electron emitter, also known as a cathode, an electron extraction grid, and an electron collector (also known as an anode). At present, according to the different relative positions of the above three types of electrodes, the integrated vacuum electron tube device structure mainly includes three types: planar back-gate type, planar side-gate type, and vertical ring-gate type. Among them, the vertical ring-gate type structure effectively enhances the gate's ability to control carriers in the vacuum channel by constructing a surrounding gate; and effectively improves the device integration density by vertically integrating the electron extraction grid and the electron collection anode. Therefore, the vertical ring-gate type structure has more application potential. However, the integrated vacuum electron tube with a vertical ring-gate structure still has the problem that the output characteristics are difficult to saturate. To solve the problem of unsaturated output characteristics, the existing technical solutions generally increase the relative height between the electron extraction grid and the top of the cathode, making the electron extraction grid higher than the top of the cathode to shield the influence of the anode electric field on the cathode surface potential, so as to obtain saturated output characteristics. However, the electron extraction grid higher than the top of the cathode is more likely to capture electrons emitted from the cathode, with a high capture rate, resulting in a large gate leakage current, which restricts the reduction of device power consumption and the improvement of power. Summary of the Invention
[0003] Aiming at the problem that the existing integrated vacuum electron tube devices are difficult to have both strong gate control ability, low gate leakage current, and saturated output characteristics, the present invention provides an integrated vacuum electron tube device structure. The provided device structure effectively improves the gate control ability through vertical integration of a double-ring gate structure; the second gate can effectively shield the influence of the anode on the cathode surface electric field to obtain saturated output characteristics; the use of the double-ring gate structure can effectively reduce the electron capture rate of the first gate and reduce the gate leakage current.
[0004] The second object of the present invention is to provide a preparation method for the integrated vacuum electron tube device structure.
[0005] The above objects of the present invention are achieved by the following technical solutions:
[0006] An integrated vacuum electron tube device structure is provided, which includes a substrate, a cathode, a first insulating layer, a first gate, a second insulating layer, a second gate, a third insulating layer and an anode; the cathode is perpendicular to the surface of the substrate; the substrate, the first insulating layer, the first gate, the second insulating layer, the second gate, the third insulating layer and the anode are stacked without gaps in sequence from bottom to top; the first gate is an electrode with crater-shaped micropores, the second gate is an electrode with crater-shaped micropores or a flat electrode with micropores, the height difference between the top of the second gate and the top of the first gate is 200 nm to 1000 nm, and the pore diameter of the micropores of the second gate is larger than that of the first gate; the cathode is located at the center of the first gate and the second gate, and the potential of the second gate is not lower than that of the first gate.
[0007] When the device structure in this solution works, the cathode is set to a low potential, the first gate is set to a high potential, the second gate is set to a potential not lower than that of the first gate to induce electron emission. The anode is set to a potential higher than that of the cathode to collect the electrons emitted from the cathode. Since the micropores of the first gate are closer to the top of the cathode than those of the second gate, the influence of the potential of the first gate on the surface electric field strength is greater. Also, because the cathode field emission current has an exponential relationship with the surface electric field strength, the electron extraction function is mainly realized by the first gate. The potential of the second gate is equal to or higher than that of the first gate, and the top of the second gate is higher than the top of the first gate. Therefore, the second gate can effectively broaden the potential region of the first gate and play a role in shielding the anode electric field, thereby weakening the influence of the anode electric field on the cathode surface electric field and ensuring that the cathode emission is controlled by the gate and a saturated output characteristic can be obtained. On the other hand, the second gate is higher than the first gate, and the pore diameter of the micropores of the second gate is larger than that of the first gate. It is difficult for the second gate to capture the electrons emitted from the cathode. Therefore, the gate leakage current of the device structure of the present invention mainly depends on the capture rate of the electrons emitted from the cathode by the first gate. However, the first gate has a small height difference from the top of the cathode, which can effectively reduce the capture rate of the electrons emitted from the cathode by the first gate and reduce the gate leakage current.
[0008] The integrated vacuum electron tube device structure provided by the present invention effectively improves the gate control ability through a vertically integrated double-ring gate structure; the second gate can effectively shield the influence of the anode on the cathode surface electric field and obtain a saturated output characteristic; the use of the double-ring gate structure can effectively reduce the electron capture rate of the first gate and reduce the gate leakage current.
[0009] Preferably, the potential of the second gate is higher than that of the first gate by within 5%.
[0010] Preferably, the anode is a flat micropore electrode or a flat plate electrode with a pore diameter of 3 to 10 μm.
[0011] Preferably, the height difference between the top of the cathode and the first gate is -100 to 100 nm.
[0012] Preferably, the height difference between the anode and the top of the second gate is 200 nm to 2000 nm.
[0013] Preferably, the first gate, the second gate, and the anode are selected from one or more of chromium, molybdenum, copper, gold, silver, aluminum, doped amorphous silicon, and indium tin oxide; the first insulating layer, the second insulating layer, and the third insulating layer are selected from one or more of silicon dioxide, silicon nitride, aluminum oxide, and hafnium oxide.

[0015] Preferably, the vertical micro-nano structure is a micro-nano cone structure, a micro-nano wire structure, a micro-nano needle structure, or a micro-nano pyramid structure.
[0016] Preferably, the material of the vertical micro-nano structure is selected from one or more of silicon, diamond, molybdenum, chromium, nickel, lanthanum hexaboride, silicon carbide, zinc oxide, titanium oxide, copper oxide, and tungsten oxide.

[0047] In addition, the pore diameter of the micropores on the anode 8 in this solution is 3.2 μm. Of course, this is only a reference implementation manner and should not be construed as a limitation to this solution. In the specific implementation process, the optional range of the pore diameter of the micropores of the anode 8 is 3 - 10 μm.
[0048] The cathode 2 in this embodiment is a micro-nano silicon cone structure, the material of the substrate 1 is silicon, the first insulating layer 3, the second insulating layer 5, and the third insulating layer 7 are silicon dioxide thin film structures, and the first gate 4, the second gate 6, and the anode 8 are chromium metal thin film structures.

[0049] The above integrated vacuum electron tube device structure is prepared by the following method:
[0050] S1: On the cathode 2 and the substrate 1, silicon dioxide with a thickness of 200 - 1000 nm is deposited on its surface by using a chemical vapor deposition system as the first insulating layer 3;
[0051] S2: On the basis of S1, a chromium electrode layer with a thickness of 200 - 300 nm is deposited on its surface by using magnetron sputtering as the first gate 4;
[0052] S3: Spin-coat photoresist; use an optical lithography system to expose the photoresist, and develop the exposed sample, and the diameter or width of the obtained pattern is 50 - 200 μm;
[0053] S4: Use oxygen plasma etching to thin the photoresist to 700 - 1000 nm until the top of the first gate 4 is exposed; use a mixed solution of perchloric acid, ammonium cerium nitrate, and water to etch the exposed first gate 4, and use acetone and ethanol to remove the surface photoresist;
[0054] S5: Deposit a second insulating layer 5 with a thickness of 200 - 300 nm and a second gate 6 with a thickness of 200 - 300 nm successively on the structure described in S4;
[0055] S6: Repeat S3, use oxygen plasma etching to thin the photoresist to 500 - 1000 nm until the second gate 6 is exposed; use a mixed solution of perchloric acid, ammonium cerium nitrate, and water to etch the second gate 6, and use acetone and ethanol to remove the surface photoresist;
[0056] S7: Deposit a third insulating layer 7 with a thickness of 600 nm - 2000 nm and an anode 8 with a thickness of 200 - 300 nm successively on the structure described in S6;
[0057] S8: Repeat S3, use oxygen plasma dry etching to thin the photoresist to 100 - 300 nm until the anode 8 is exposed; use a mixed solution of perchloric acid, ammonium cerium nitrate, and water to etch the anode 8, and use acetone and ethanol to remove the surface photoresist;
[0058] S9: Use plasma dry etching to etch the first, second, and third insulating layers 7 until the remaining silicon dioxide has a thickness of 200 - 400 nm, and then use a mixed solution of deionized water and hydrofluoric acid with a mass ratio of 9:1 to etch the silicon dioxide until the top of the cathode 22 is exposed;
[0059] S10: Transfer a conductive material to cover the holes in the anode 8 or evaporate a metal material on the structure obtained in S9 to close the holes in the anode 8, thereby obtaining the integrated vacuum electron tube device structure.
[0060] It should be noted that when the anode 8 is a flat electrode, the integrated vacuum electron device structure can be obtained until step S9, and step S10 is unnecessary.
[0061] The transfer output characteristics and gate capture rate of the integrated vacuum electron tube device structure in this embodiment are obtained by numerical simulation calculations based on the finite element method, electrostatic field theory, and Fowler-Nordheim theory. The calculation process is as follows: First, a two-dimensional rotationally symmetric numerical calculation model of the integrated vacuum electron tube is constructed according to the corresponding geometric parameters; Second, the potential parameters of each electrode of the device are set, and the spatial potential distribution and the electric field intensity on the tip surface of the cathode 2 are calculated; Third, the field emission current of the cathode 2 is calculated based on the electric field intensity on the tip surface of the cathode 2; Fourth, 1000 free electrons with an initial velocity of 0 are set at the top of the cathode 2, and the density distribution of the released electrons at the top of the cone is proportional to the magnitude of the field emission current at that place. By solving the motion trajectories of the particles under the corresponding spatial potential distribution, the number of particles collected by the anode 8 and the gate is statistically calculated, and the anode 8 current and the gate leakage current are calculated respectively. The calculation methods for the anode 8 current and the gate leakage current are: Anode 8 current = Cathode 2 field emission current × Number of charges collected by the anode 8 / Total number of charges, Gate leakage current = Cathode 2 field emission current × Number of charges collected by the gate / Total number of charges; Fifth, the anode 8 current of the device is calculated one by one under different gate voltages and anode 8 voltages to obtain the transfer and output characteristics of the integrated vacuum electron tube device.
[0062] According to the above numerical calculation method, the output characteristic curve of this embodiment is as Figure 2 shown, and the transfer characteristic curve is as Figure 3 shown. When the voltage of the first gate 4 Vg = 45V and the voltage of the anode 8 Va = 40V, the anode 8 current of this device is 60.3 μA, the cathode 2 current is 90.3 μA, and its gate capture rate is about 33.2%.
