Description

[0002] Broadband photodetectors are crucial for both military and civilian applications. Metal oxides, due to their ease of synthesis, low cost, and good stability, have been widely studied and used in photodetectors. Amorphous gallium oxide is commonly used to fabricate solar-blind ultraviolet (UV) detectors. Since UV light with wavelengths in the 220–280 nm range is completely absorbed by the atmospheric ozone layer, this wavelength band is almost entirely absent from the Earth's surface, hence the term "solar-blind UV." Currently, amorphous gallium oxide is difficult to apply in broadband photodetectors.

[0035] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. Where specific conditions are not specified in the embodiments, conventional conditions or conditions recommended by the manufacturer shall apply. Reagents or instruments whose manufacturers are not specified are all conventional products that can be purchased commercially.

[0036] The following provides a detailed description of the amorphous gallium oxide thin film, its preparation method, and its applications provided in this application.

[0037] This application proposes a method for preparing an amorphous gallium oxide thin film, which includes the following steps: depositing a metal-organic source and an oxygen source on the substrate surface by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition to form an amorphous gallium oxide thin film on the substrate surface.

[0038] The aforementioned substrate may include, for example, a silicon substrate, a sapphire substrate, a gallium oxide substrate, a gallium oxide epitaxial wafer, a quartz substrate, a glass substrate, or an ITO substrate. In some typical embodiments, the substrate is a wafer with a diameter of 2 inches to 8 inches (e.g., 2 inches, 3 inches, 4 inches, 5 inches, 6 inches, 7 inches, or 8 inches).

[0039] The thickness of the substrate can be 200μm to 1000μm, such as 200μm, 300μm, 400μm, 500μm, 600μm, 700μm, 800μm, 900μm or 1000μm, or any other value within the range of 200μm to 1000μm.

[0040] For reference, the metal-organic source may include, for example, at least one of trimethylgallium and triethylgallium, and the carrier gas used for the metal-organic source may be nitrogen or argon.

[0041] The oxygen source may include, for example, at least one of oxygen, water, and nitrous oxide. The carrier gas used for the oxygen source may also be nitrogen or argon.

[0042] During the above deposition process, the molar ratio of oxygen atoms in the oxygen source to gallium atoms in the metal-organic source does not exceed 600:1, such as 600:1, 550:1, 500:1, 450:1, 400:1, 350:1, 300:1, 250:1, 200:1, 150:1 or 100:1, or other values ​​within the range not exceeding 600:1.

[0043] If the molar ratio of oxygen atoms in the oxygen source to gallium atoms in the organometallic source exceeds 600:1 (e.g., 650:1), it can easily lead to Ga2O x In the thin film, x>1.2, thus forming Ga2O with a content of <90wt%.

[0044] In some embodiments, the flow rate of the carrier gas of the metal-organic source is at least 1.5 times that of the carrier gas of the oxygen source, such as 1.5 times, 2 times, 2.5 times, 3 times, 3.5 times, or 4 times.

[0045] If the flow rate of the carrier gas of the metal-organic source is less than 1.5 times that of the carrier gas of the oxygen source, the gallium precursor is more likely to decompose earlier than the oxygen precursor, which is not conducive to the formation of Ga2O.

[0046] In this application, the deposition temperature can be 700℃~850℃, such as 700℃, 720℃, 750℃, 780℃, 800℃, 820℃ or 850℃, or any other value within the range of 700℃~850℃.

[0047] If the deposition temperature is below 700℃, the product is likely to contain a large amount of carbon impurities from the gallium precursor; if the deposition temperature is above 850℃, the gallium in the gallium oxide film is likely to be mainly trivalent gallium, and its corresponding light absorption range is mainly from the solar blind ultraviolet band to the ultraviolet band, and cannot reach the visible light band.

[0048] The deposition pressure can be 40 mbar to 100 mbar, such as 40 mbar, 50 mbar, 60 mbar, 70 mbar, 80 mbar, 90 mbar or 100 mbar, or any other value in the range of 40 mbar to 100 mbar.

[0049] If the deposition pressure is less than 40 mbar, it is easy to cause insufficient gas flow, which will affect the overall growth gas flow field; if the deposition pressure is greater than 100 mbar, it is easy to cause the pre-reaction to be too intense, which will affect the deposition rate.

[0050] The deposition time can be 0.5h to 10h, such as 0.5h, 1h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 5h, 6h, 7h, 8h, 9h or 10h, or any other value within the range of 0.5h to 10h.

[0051] If the deposition time is less than 0.5 hours, the film is likely to be too thin; if the deposition time is more than 10 hours, the film is likely to be too thick, and the accumulated stress will lead to a rough surface.

[0052] Preferably, the substrate is pretreated before deposition, such as by cleaning. It should be noted that the pretreatment methods and processes for the substrate can refer to relevant existing technologies, and will not be elaborated on here.

[0053] As a reference, after deposition is completed, the metal-organic source should be stopped, and the temperature should be lowered to room temperature in an oxygen, nitrogen, or argon atmosphere.

[0054] In this application, the thickness of the amorphous gallium oxide thin film can be 2μm to 10μm, such as 2μm, 3μm, 4μm, 5μm, 6μm, 7μm, 8μm, 9μm or 10μm, or any other value in the range of 2μm to 10μm.

[0055] As mentioned above, this application uses metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) technology to prepare amorphous gallium oxide thin films, which can grow films with good thermal stability and ensure good uniformity and repeatability, making them suitable for mass production.

[0056] Accordingly, this application also provides an amorphous gallium oxide thin film, which is prepared by the above-described preparation method.

[0057] The amorphous gallium oxide thin film provided in this application has the chemical formula Ga2O. xWhere 1≤x≤1.2, the gallium oxide film is amorphous and the light absorption range of the gallium oxide film is from ultraviolet to visible light.

[0058] In the aforementioned amorphous gallium oxide thin film, at least 90 wt% of the composition is Ga2O, and the balance includes Ga2O3 and other gallium oxides in different valence states.

[0059] Amorphous gallium oxide thin films containing the above-mentioned proportion of Ga2O can have a broad absorption spectrum, the absorption range of which can include solar-blind ultraviolet to visible light (approximately 200nm-400nm), and the absorbance is not less than 50%.

[0060] In some embodiments, the amorphous gallium oxide thin film described above may further contain a dopant. Exemplarily, the dopant element may include at least one selected from boron, aluminum, indium, tin, silicon, germanium, magnesium, calcium, iron, copper, zinc, nitrogen, hydrogen, and chlorine. The doping amount of the dopant in the amorphous gallium oxide thin film may be 1 × 10⁻⁶. 16 cm -3 ~1×10 20 cm -3 , such as 1×10 16 cm -3 1×10 17 cm -3 1×10 18 cm -3 1×10 19 cm -3 Or 1×10 20 cm -3 wait.

[0061] By doping with dopants, amorphous gallium oxide thin films can have various other effects.

[0062] In addition, this application also provides the application of the above-mentioned amorphous gallium oxide thin film in semiconductor power devices or semiconductor optoelectronic devices.

[0063] Accordingly, this application also provides a detector comprising the aforementioned amorphous gallium oxide thin film. The application range of this detector is not limited to the solar-blind range, but can be extended to the visible light range.
