Description

Technical Field

[0002] An infrared photodetector is a device that converts infrared thermal radiation into electrical signals. The infrared thermal radiation from the target is focused onto the plane of the infrared photodetector. The temperature of the infrared photodetector changes after absorbing infrared energy. The infrared photodetector receives thermal radiation of different energies, and its own temperature changes differently, causing the resistance value of the thermistor layer to change accordingly. This change is converted into an electrical signal output by the readout circuit inside the infrared photodetector. After the signal acquisition and data processing circuit outside the detector, a visual electronic image reflecting the target temperature distribution is finally obtained.

[0003] Photoelectric efficiency refers to the ratio of the electrical signal power converted from photoelectricity to the infrared light power. In practical applications, the efficiency of infrared photodetectors is often one of the key factors in optimizing their design.

[0004] Most existing infrared photodetectors use single vanadium oxide and amorphous silicon as the main materials of the thermal sensitive layer. The photoelectric efficiency of the infrared photodetector is limited by the physical properties of vanadium oxide and amorphous silicon. Summary of the Invention

[0017] The present application proposes a method for preparing an infrared photodetector and an infrared photodetector. The method for preparing an infrared photodetector in an embodiment of the present application includes: sputtering a metal target material onto a substrate layer by a magnetron sputtering method to form a metal layer, wherein the metal target material includes a main material and a doping element, the main material includes metal vanadium, and the doping element includes bismuth, magnesium, and lithium; oxidizing the metal layer to oxidize the metal vanadium into vanadium oxide to form a thermosensitive semiconductor layer; annealing the thermosensitive semiconductor layer to activate p-type doping of magnesium and lithium in the vanadium oxide, and precipitating bismuth quantum dots composed of bismuth on the surface of the metal layer away from the substrate layer; setting a first electrode layer on the side of the substrate layer away from the thermosensitive semiconductor layer, and setting a second electrode layer on the side of the thermosensitive semiconductor layer away from the substrate layer to obtain an infrared photodetector.

[0030] Currently, most existing infrared photodetectors use single vanadium oxide and amorphous silicon as the main materials of the thermal sensitive layer. The photoelectric efficiency of infrared photodetectors is limited by the physical properties of vanadium oxide and amorphous silicon.

[0031] To address the problem of low photoelectric efficiency, the present application provides a method for preparing an infrared photodetector and an infrared photodetector. The method for preparing the infrared photodetector includes: sputtering a metal target onto a substrate layer by a magnetron sputtering method to form a metal layer, wherein the metal target includes a main material and a doping element, the main material includes metal vanadium, and the doping element includes bismuth, magnesium, and lithium; oxidizing the metal layer to oxidize the metal vanadium into vanadium oxide to form a thermosensitive semiconductor layer; annealing the thermosensitive semiconductor layer to activate p-type doping of magnesium and lithium in the vanadium oxide, and precipitating bismuth quantum dots composed of bismuth on the surface of the thermosensitive semiconductor layer away from the substrate layer; setting a first electrode layer on the side of the substrate layer away from the thermosensitive semiconductor layer, and setting a second electrode layer on the side of the thermosensitive semiconductor layer away from the substrate layer, to obtain an infrared photodetector. According to the solution provided in the embodiments of the present application, a metal target is sputtered onto a substrate layer by magnetron sputtering, so that the metal vanadium, metal bismuth, metal magnesium, and metal lithium in the metal target are evenly distributed on the surface of the substrate layer, thereby forming a uniform metal film on the surface of the substrate layer. After the metal vanadium is reduced to vanadium oxide, the thermosensitive semiconductor layer is annealed. Because lithium atoms have a small radius, excellent diffusivity, and relatively low activation energy, p-type activation is easily achieved under annealing conditions. At the same time, by utilizing the segregation phenomenon during the high-temperature annealing process, bismuth atoms migrate to the surface of the thermosensitive semiconductor layer, forming evenly distributed bismuth quantum dots, providing a metal plasmon enhancement effect, which not only reduces dark current but also enhances the thermosensitive semiconductor layer's absorption efficiency of infrared light, thereby significantly enhancing the photoelectric performance of the infrared photodetector.

[0032] The preparation method of the infrared photoelectric detector and the infrared photoelectric detector provided in the embodiments of the present application are specifically illustrated by the following examples. First, the preparation method of the infrared photoelectric detector in the embodiments of the present application is described.

[0033] The embodiments of the present application are further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 One embodiment of the present application provides a method for preparing an infrared photodetector, comprising:

[0035] Step S110, sputtering a metal target onto the substrate layer by magnetron sputtering to form a metal layer, wherein the metal target includes a main material and a doping element, the main material includes metal vanadium, and the doping element includes bismuth, magnesium, and lithium;

[0036] Step S120, performing an oxidation treatment on the metal layer to oxidize the metal vanadium into vanadium oxide to form a thermosensitive semiconductor layer;

[0037] Step S130, annealing the thermosensitive semiconductor layer to activate p-type doping of magnesium and lithium in the vanadium oxide, and precipitate bismuth quantum dots composed of bismuth on the surface of the thermosensitive semiconductor layer away from the substrate layer;

[0038] Step S140 , disposing a first electrode layer on a side of the substrate layer away from the thermosensitive semiconductor layer, and disposing a second electrode layer on a side of the thermosensitive semiconductor layer away from the substrate layer, to obtain an infrared photodetector.

[0039] Based on this, a metal target is sputtered onto a substrate layer via magnetron sputtering, allowing the metal vanadium, metal bismuth, metal magnesium, and metal lithium in the metal target to be evenly distributed on the surface of the substrate layer, thereby forming a uniform metal film on the surface of the substrate layer. After reducing the metal vanadium to vanadium oxide, the thermosensitive semiconductor layer is annealed. Due to the small radius, excellent diffusivity, and relatively low activation energy of lithium atoms, p-type activation is easily achieved under annealing conditions. Simultaneously, by utilizing the segregation phenomenon during the high-temperature annealing process, bismuth atoms migrate to the surface of the thermosensitive semiconductor layer, forming evenly distributed bismuth quantum dots. This provides a metal plasmon enhancement effect, reducing dark current and enhancing the thermosensitive semiconductor layer's absorption efficiency of infrared light, thereby significantly improving the photoelectric performance of the infrared photodetector.

[0040] Specifically, the main component of the substrate layer is silicon.

[0041] In addition, refer to Figure 2 , certain embodiments of the present application, Figure 1 Step S120 in the embodiment includes:

[0042] Step S210, masking and protecting the substrate layer;

[0043] In step S220 , the metal layer is immersed in an oxalic acid solution and anodized to oxidize the metal vanadium into vanadium oxide to form a thermosensitive semiconductor layer.

[0044] In a specific embodiment, the concentration of the oxalic acid solution is 0.1 mol / L to 0.8 mol / L.

[0045] It can be understood that when the metal layer is energized, a continuous, non-porous thin film layer begins to form on the metal layer. After a period of time, the voltage of the metal layer begins to decrease and the thin film layer begins to expand. Since the expansion speed at different positions is inconsistent, the thickness of the thin film layer at different positions is different, and thus the voltage at different positions is also different. Therefore, the vanadium oxide on the thin film layer at some positions begins to dissolve. As the power-on time progresses, the metal layer evolves into a heat-sensitive semiconductor layer with multiple holes.

[0046] Specifically, after anodic oxidation-reduction, metallic vanadium is oxidized to vanadium pentoxide.

[0047] It is understandable that after the oxalic acid solution undergoes an oxidation-reduction reaction, the oxalic acid molecules decompose into carbon dioxide and water. Therefore, by using the oxalic acid solution to anodize the metal layer, the pollution to the environment can be reduced, which meets the green and environmentally friendly production requirements.

[0048] In addition, refer to Figure 3 , Figure 1 Step S110 in the embodiment includes:

[0049] Step S310 , fixing the metal target and the substrate layer in a vacuum chamber, wherein the vacuum chamber is placed in a magnetic field;

[0050] In step S320 , the metal target is connected to the negative electrode of the power supply, the substrate layer is grounded, and argon gas is continuously injected into the vacuum chamber and continuously exhausted, so that the vanadium atoms, bismuth atoms, magnesium atoms, and lithium atoms on the metal target are sputtered onto the substrate layer to form a metal layer.

[0051] Specifically, the gas pressure in the vacuum chamber is 0.1 Pa, the power of the power supply is 80 W, and the temperature in the vacuum chamber is 500 to 900 degrees Celsius.

[0052] It can be understood that by sputtering the vanadium atoms, bismuth atoms, magnesium atoms and lithium atoms on the metal target material onto the substrate layer through the magnetron sputtering method, a uniformly distributed metal layer can be formed on the substrate layer.

[0053] In addition, in certain embodiments of the present application, the annealing treatment temperature is 500 to 800 degrees Celsius, and the diameter of the bismuth quantum dots is 1 to 10 nanometers.

[0054] It can be understood that when the thermosensitive semiconductor layer is heated to 500 to 800 degrees Celsius, magnesium atoms, lithium atoms and bismuth atoms diffuse in the vanadium oxide, so that the magnesium atoms, lithium atoms and bismuth atoms are evenly distributed in the vanadium oxide, thereby improving the conductivity efficiency of the thermosensitive semiconductor layer. In the process of cooling the thermosensitive semiconductor layer, under the effect of segregation, the bismuth quantum dots are absorbed from the side of the thermosensitive semiconductor layer away from the substrate layer, thereby improving the efficiency of the thermosensitive semiconductor layer in absorbing infrared light and improving the sensitivity of the infrared photodetector.

[0055] In addition, refer to Figure 4 In one embodiment of the present application, a method for preparing an infrared photoelectric detector includes:

[0056] Step S410: Flow 0.1 Pa of argon gas in a vacuum chamber, connect the substrate layer to the positive electrode of a power supply, connect the metal target to the negative electrode of the power supply, set the power output of the power supply to 80 W, and set the vacuum chamber to 900 degrees Celsius to grow a 1000-nanometer-thick metal layer on the substrate layer. The metal target includes a main material including vanadium and a dopant element including bismuth, magnesium, and lithium.

[0057] Step S420 , protecting the substrate layer with a fixture, placing the exposed metal layer in a 0.8 mol / L oxalic acid solution for an anodic oxidation reaction to form a heat-sensitive semiconductor layer;

[0058] Step S430, annealing the thermosensitive semiconductor layer at an ambient temperature of 800 degrees Celsius to activate p-type doping of magnesium and lithium in the vanadium oxide, and to precipitate bismuth quantum dots composed of bismuth on the surface of the thermosensitive semiconductor layer away from the substrate layer;

[0059] Step S440, laser etching a plurality of grooves on a side of the substrate layer away from the heat-sensitive semiconductor layer;

[0060] Step S450: Using an evaporation machine, a layer of metal gold is evaporated on the groove and the surface of the substrate layer away from the thermosensitive semiconductor layer to form a first electrode layer; and using an evaporation machine, a layer of metal gold is evaporated on the surface of the thermosensitive semiconductor layer away from the substrate layer to form a second electrode layer.

[0061] In addition, refer to Figure 5 In one embodiment of the present application, a method for preparing an infrared photoelectric detector includes:

[0062] Step S510: Flow 0.1 Pa of argon gas in a vacuum chamber, connect the substrate layer to the positive electrode of a power supply, connect the metal target to the negative electrode of the power supply, set the power output of the power supply to 80 W, and set the vacuum chamber to 500 degrees Celsius to grow a 200-nanometer-thick metal layer on the substrate layer. The metal target includes a main material including vanadium and a dopant element including bismuth, magnesium, and lithium.

[0063] Step S520 , protecting the substrate layer with a fixture, placing the exposed metal layer in a 0.4 mol / L oxalic acid solution for an anodic oxidation reaction to form a heat-sensitive semiconductor layer;

[0064] Step S530, annealing the thermosensitive semiconductor layer at an ambient temperature of 500 degrees Celsius to activate p-type doping of magnesium and lithium in the vanadium oxide, and to precipitate bismuth quantum dots composed of bismuth on the surface of the thermosensitive semiconductor layer away from the substrate layer;

[0065] Step S540, laser etching a plurality of grooves on a side of the substrate layer away from the heat-sensitive semiconductor layer;

[0066] Step S550: Using an evaporation machine, a layer of metal gold is evaporated on the groove and the surface of the substrate layer away from the thermosensitive semiconductor layer to form a first electrode layer; and using an evaporation machine, a layer of metal gold is evaporated on the surface of the thermosensitive semiconductor layer away from the substrate layer to form a second electrode layer.

[0067] It can be understood that by etching a plurality of grooves on the side of the substrate layer away from the thermosensitive semiconductor layer, and when metal gold is evaporated on the grooves and the surface of the side of the substrate layer away from the thermosensitive semiconductor layer by an evaporation machine, the first electrode layer is adhered to the surface of the substrate layer and is also embedded in the grooves, thereby reducing the distance between the first electrode layer and the thermosensitive semiconductor layer, improving the efficiency of electrical signal transmission between the thermosensitive semiconductor layer and the first electrode layer, and improving the sensitivity of the infrared photodetector.

[0068] In addition, refer to Figure 6 The present application also proposes an infrared photodetector, which includes a first electrode layer 100, a substrate layer 200, a photosensitive semiconductor layer 300 and a second electrode layer 400. The first electrode layer 100, the substrate layer 200, the photosensitive semiconductor layer 300 and the second electrode layer 400 are fixedly connected in sequence, and bismuth quantum dots 310 are provided on the side of the photosensitive semiconductor layer 300 close to the second electrode layer 300.
