Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of visible light detectors, and in particular to an InGaN / PdO heterojunction self-powered visible light photoelectric detector and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Visible light communication plays a vital role in the 6G space-ground integrated communication network. However, traditional Si-based visible light detectors are no longer suitable for the development of visible light communication due to disadvantages such as high noise and the need for expensive filtering systems during use. Group III nitride semiconductor materials have a wide bandgap, stable chemical properties, and high carrier mobility, which makes them very suitable for the preparation of optoelectronic devices.
[0003] As a third-generation semiconductor material with adjustable composition, InGaN can achieve precise control of its bandgap from 0.7eV to 3.4eV through precise composition regulation. This variable bandgap allows for selective detection of visible light without the need for expensive and complex filtering systems. Its excellent and stable physical and chemical properties make it a popular choice for photodetectors. By combining InGaN with other semiconductor materials to form a type II heterojunction, the built-in electric field generated by the heterojunction can be used to achieve self-power, reducing device size and energy consumption. The realization of high-quality, self-powered heterojunction detectors has become a hot topic of research.
[0004] Although researchers have conducted extensive research on InGaN photodetectors, their commercialization remains a long way off. A major obstacle hindering the commercialization of InGaN-based detectors is the poor quality of current InGaN films, which suffer from numerous defects, stresses, and phase separation. The presence of numerous defects and stresses in InGaN films is primarily due to the large lattice mismatch between InGaN and the substrate, which results in widespread presence of defects and stresses within the epitaxial film. Phase separation stems from the lattice mismatch between InN and GaN. To minimize system energy, In easily segregates and aggregates, leading to phase separation. Defects within the film act as carrier recombination centers, while stress and phase separation interfere with carrier transport. This severely limits the responsivity, response speed, and detectivity of InGaN-based photodetectors. Developing new epitaxial processes to achieve high-quality InGaN film growth and construct heterojunction detectors is an effective means of overcoming these limitations. Summary of the Invention
