Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to the technical field of photoelectric detectors, in particular to a Ga2O3 solar blind ultraviolet photodetector with a high work function Pd electrode contact and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Solar blind ultraviolet photodetectors (SBPDs) are widely used in missile tracking, fire alarm, corona monitoring, ozone hole detection, offshore oil testing, biological detection and encrypted communication because of their low background noise, good reliability, high safety and low false alarm rate. Among wide bandgap semiconductors (GaN, AlGaN, SiC, diamond, hBN, BiOCl, Ga2O3, etc.), Ga2O3 stands out with the following great advantages. It has an ultra-wide bandgap (4.5-5.3 eV), which directly corresponds to the solar blind band; it has excellent sensitivity in the solar blind band; its large-size single crystal can be mass-produced at low cost by the melting method; it has a high breakdown voltage, an ultra-high power quality factor, a low on-voltage, an ultra-low specific on-resistance and good stability. Therefore, Ga2O3 is considered to be the most potential candidate material for the next generation of power electronics and SBPDs.
[0003] Ga2O3 has five different crystal structures: alpha, beta, gamma, delta and epsilon phases. Among them, the beta phase has a monoclinic crystal structure, and its thermodynamic properties are the most stable, and the other alpha, gamma and epsilon phases are all metastable phases, and the delta phase is an unstable phase. Because gallium oxide has a structure similar to other wide-bandgap materials (such as ZnO and AlN), it is often used to prepare gallium oxide photodetectors. However, the current gallium oxide photodetectors have the disadvantages of large device dark current, poor photoelectric response and the like.
[0004] The main growth methods of epitaxial thin films are molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), laser pulse deposition (PLD), magnetron sputtering (RFMS), hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE), mist chemical vapor deposition (Mist-CVD), atomic layer deposition (ALD), and metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). Among them, MOCVD epitaxial growth of thin films has the advantages of wide application range, almost all compounds can be grown; thin film thickness can be controlled, suitable for ultra-thin film preparation; composition and doping concentration can be controlled; high purity, good uniformity; suitable for growth of large-size thin films, etc. Suitable for growing large-area high-quality gallium oxide thin films, and the beta phase Ga2O3 can be directly grown by MOCVD method without using post-annealing process to convert it from other phases to beta phase. However, the gallium oxide solar blind ultraviolet photodetector prepared by the MOCVD method still has the disadvantages of high dark current and poor photoelectric current response.

Wherein the rise time is defined as the time required for the photocurrent to rise from 10% to 90% of the maximum value under the condition of applying light, and the fall time is defined as the time required for the photocurrent to fall from 90% to 10% of the maximum value after the light is removed. The response time of the ultraviolet photodetector is also a very important parameter, which describes the reaction speed of the detector to the change of light. When the response time of the detector is long, the detector will not be applicable to the fast changing ultraviolet radiation. Generally, it is difficult to have high sensitivity and high response speed of the ultraviolet photodetector at the same time. When the response degree is greatly improved, the response time will be prolonged to a certain extent. For example Figure 12 Figure 2 shows a rising and falling process in the I-t curve of the device, the rising response time is 64.95 ms, and the falling response time is 58.94 ms.
