Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of gallium oxide material optimization, and in particular to a method for regulating the electrical properties of gallium oxide micro-defects. Background Art
[0002] Gallium oxide (GAO) is an important candidate material for next-generation high-power, high-frequency electronic devices due to its wide bandgap, excellent thermal stability, and high breakdown electric field. However, microscopic defects in GAO materials can significantly affect their electrical properties, thereby affecting the performance and stability of devices.
[0003] Chinese patent publication number CN1 17347304A discloses a method for detecting atomic-level defects in gallium oxide crystals. The method uses a scattering scanning near-field optical microscope system to detect atomic-level defects in gallium oxide crystals. The scattering scanning near-field optical microscope system collects optical signals of gallium oxide crystal defects through the scattering enhancement effect of the probe tip for imaging. The scattering scanning near-field optical microscope system includes an atomic force microscope system and an optical system, wherein the light source of the optical system is a tunable quantum cascade laser and / or a carbon dioxide laser, most preferably a tunable quantum cascade laser. The atomic force microscope system includes a probe and a laser.
[0004] Existing methods for detecting microscopic defects in gallium oxide materials are generally performed by using a microscope to capture images for observation. That is, the entire gallium oxide material needs to be observed through a microscope for microscopic defect inspection. Because the system needs to gradually and slowly traverse the entire gallium oxide material area, the inspection efficiency is slow and it is also prone to omissions. Secondly, manual observation is generally used for determination, resulting in a high degree of misjudgment, and therefore cannot meet the needs of users. Summary of the Invention

[0054] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of the present invention easier to understand, the present invention is further described below with reference to specific diagrams. It should be noted that the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other unless they conflict.
[0055] Example 1
[0056] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The embodiment of the present invention provides a technical solution: a method for adjusting the electrical characteristics of microscopic defects in gallium oxide.
[0057] Acquire a TEM image of the gallium oxide material, wherein the TEM image is a bright field image, that is, an overall structural image of the gallium oxide material obtained using a bright field imaging mode, and determine the defect-sensitive area based on the overall structural image;
[0058] It should be noted that TEM images are transmission electron microscope images, which can provide nanometer-level resolution and directly observe microscopic defects in gallium oxide materials.
[0059] Methods for acquiring TEM images of gallium oxide materials include:
[0060] Step q1: Mount the gallium oxide material on the TEM sample holder to fix the gallium oxide material;
[0061] Step q2: Insert the sample holder into the TEM sample chamber and evacuate to 10 -6 Pa;
[0062] Step q3: Set the accelerating voltage to 200 kV and adjust the objective lens focus and beam intensity;
[0063] Step q4: Use bright field imaging mode to obtain the overall structural image of the gallium oxide material.
[0064] Acquire an area in the gallium oxide material corresponding to a defect-sensitive area, mark it as an inspection area, and acquire a dark field image and a high-resolution image of the inspection area;
[0065] Methods for acquiring darkfield and high-resolution images of the inspection area include:
[0066] After using the bright field imaging mode to obtain the overall structural image of the gallium oxide material, the position and focus of the gallium oxide material are adjusted, and then the dark field imaging mode and high-resolution imaging mode are used to collect images respectively, thereby obtaining dark field images and high-resolution images of defect-sensitive areas.
[0067] It should be noted that the dark field imaging mode is used to obtain dark field images, which facilitates the observation of defects and grain boundaries in the sample, enhances contrast, and allows for detailed analysis of dislocations and stacking faults. The high-resolution imaging mode is used to obtain high-resolution images, which can observe lattice structure and atomic-level defects.
[0068] Input the acquired dark field image and high-resolution image into a pre-built defect type recognition model to obtain the defect type of the inspection area, and determine the defect type based on the defect type, where the defect type includes repairable type and non-repairable type;
[0069] The training methods for the defect type recognition model include:
[0070] Dark field images and high-resolution images of gallium oxide materials with different defect types are collected, and labels are set for the defect types of the dark field images and high-resolution images, that is, the labels are defect types. The dark field images and high-resolution images and the labels corresponding to the dark field images and high-resolution images constitute a set of training data. X sets of training data constitute a sample set, where X is an integer greater than 1. The sample set is divided into a training set and a test set. The dark field images and high-resolution images in the training set are used as inputs of a defect type recognition model, and the labels corresponding to the dark field images and high-resolution images in the training set are used as outputs of the defect type recognition model. The defect type recognition model is trained to obtain an initial defect type recognition model, and minimizing the sum of prediction errors is used as a training objective. The initial defect type recognition model is evaluated using a test set, and the initial defect type recognition model when the sum of prediction errors reaches convergence is used as the constructed defect type recognition model.
[0071] The defect type identification model is a deep neural network model.
[0072] It should be noted that in the machine learning model, the calculation formula for prediction error is: k =(a k -w k ) 2 , where k is the number of the feature data (i.e., extracted image), Z k is the prediction error, a k is the predicted state value corresponding to the kth set of feature data. The state value is the defect type. w k is the actual state value corresponding to the kth group of training data.
[0073] Specifically, an overall structural image of the gallium oxide material is acquired using a brightfield imaging mode, and defect-sensitive areas are determined based on the overall structural image. Darkfield images and high-resolution images are then collected of the defect-sensitive areas, and defect type identification is performed based on a trained pre-built defect type identification model. This method of defect identification eliminates the need for a microscope system to traverse the entire gallium oxide material, thereby greatly improving defect detection efficiency. Furthermore, by determining the defect-sensitive areas, and then collecting darkfield images and high-resolution images of the defect-sensitive areas and inputting them into a trained pre-built defect type identification model for defect identification, there is no need for manual judgment of the defect type, further improving the efficiency and stability of the judgment and enhancing the intelligence of defect detection.
[0074] The defect types include: dislocation defects, stacking fault defects, grain boundary defects, antisite defects and impurity cluster defects;
[0075] Among them, the repairable types include dislocation defects, stacking fault defects and antilocation defects;
[0076] Unrepairable types include grain boundary defects and impurity cluster defects.
[0077] It should be noted that for dislocation defects, stacking fault defects and antisite defects, the generation of defects can be reduced by controlling the doping concentration and type, and high-temperature treatment can promote the migration and rearrangement of atoms or defects, thereby reducing the defect density;
[0078] Grain boundary defects are inherent interfaces between grains of grain boundary materials. Their formation and existence are part of the material's microstructure and usually cannot be treated or eliminated. Impurity clusters are formed by the aggregation of foreign elements in the material. These defects usually exist stably and are difficult to completely eliminate through annealing or other treatment methods.
[0079] What you need to know is that dislocation defects will reduce carrier mobility and conductivity, increase leakage current and local stress; stacking fault defects will change the band structure, introduce defect states, and affect the capacitance effect and breakdown voltage; grain boundary defects will form interface potential barriers, increase trap states, reduce conductivity and device consistency, and antisite defects will change the local doping concentration, introduce defect states, increase carrier recombination and conductivity changes; impurity cluster defects will cause local conductivity changes, increase leakage current, and affect device stability.
[0080] According to the repairable type, the defect type and the defect degree corresponding to the defect type are obtained, and the defect repair coefficient is calculated and generated.
[0081] The calculation formula of the defect repair coefficient is:
[0082] QXxf=β1×WCqx+β2×CCqx+β3×FWqx;
[0083] Where QXxf is the defect repair coefficient, WCqx is the dislocation defect density, CCqx is the stacking fault defect density, FWqx is the antisite defect concentration, and β1, β2, and β3 are weight factors, all greater than 0.
[0084] It should be noted that the size of the weight factor is a specific numerical value obtained by quantifying each data to facilitate subsequent comparison. The size of the weight factor depends on the number of comprehensive parameters and the preliminary setting of the corresponding weight factor for each set of comprehensive parameters by technical personnel in this field.
[0085] It should be noted that the dislocation defect density is obtained by X-ray diffraction technology, which is an indirect but effective method for obtaining dislocation density. This process mainly includes measuring the rocking curve of the crystal and the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the analysis peak, and then calculating the dislocation density according to a theoretical model, wherein the theoretical model is to calculate the dislocation density using the Wilson-Hal 1 method.
[0086] The stacking fault density is an indirect but quantitative characterization method that measures the broadening and deformation of the diffraction peak using X-ray diffraction technology, extracts the peak's half-maximum width (FWHM) and symmetry parameters, and calculates the stacking fault density in combination with a theoretical model. This method can effectively evaluate the degree of stacking fault defects in materials.
[0087] Example: Assume that the (111) diffraction peak of gallium oxide crystal is selected for measurement;
[0088] Perform fine angle scanning (e.g., 0.01° per step) within a range of approximately 2θ = 35.7° (the specific peak position is determined by the material), and record the diffraction curve showing the change in diffraction intensity with angle;
[0089] The half-width (FWHM) and symmetry parameters of the peaks are obtained by Gaussian fitting of the diffraction peaks. Assuming that the measured FWHM is 0.2° and the intrinsic peak width of the defect-free crystal is 0.1°,
[0090] Using the Wilson equation:
[0091] Assume that the interlayer distance d = 2.5 × 10 -8 ;
[0092] Calculate the remaining width: β-β0=0.2°-0.1°=0.1°;
[0093] Convert to radians:
[0094] Calculate the stacking fault density:
[0095] The method for obtaining the antisite defect concentration is to determine the antisite defect concentration based on XPS. The specific process is to quantitatively calculate the concentration of antisite defects through high-resolution XPS measurement, background subtraction, peak fitting and chemical shift analysis. Determining the antisite defect concentration by XPS is an existing technology and will not be elaborated on here.
[0096] Input the collected defect types and defect repair coefficients into a pre-built doping parameter recommendation model to obtain a doping parameter recommendation set label, and then obtain a doping parameter recommendation set corresponding to the doping parameter recommendation set label;
[0097] According to the parameters in the recommended doping parameter set, the gallium oxide material is doped and regulated to optimize the electrical properties of the gallium oxide material.
[0098] The recommended set of doping parameters is {(a1, b1, c1), (a2, b2, c2), ..., (a n , b n , c n )},a n is the doping element corresponding to the set label n, b n is the doping concentration corresponding to the set label n, c n is the doping mode corresponding to the set label n;
[0099] It should be noted that the doping elements include:
[0100] Silicon (Si): A commonly used n-type doping element that can effectively increase carrier concentration;
[0101] Tin (Sn): a commonly used n-type doping element with good doping efficiency;
[0102] Antimony (Sb): Although less commonly used, it can also be used as an n-type dopant element in some applications;
[0103] Nitrogen (N): Nitrogen can provide additional free electrons by replacing oxygen, but its doping efficiency may be low;
[0104] Magnesium (Mg): It is considered a potential element for achieving p-type doping, but the doping efficiency and stability are low;
[0105] Copper (Cu): also used to try p-type doping, with certain feasibility;
[0106] Lithium (Li): Holes can be introduced in certain circumstances, but achieving stable p-type conductivity remains challenging.
[0107] Titanium (Ti): can be used as a doping element to regulate the optical and electrical properties of materials;
[0108] Manganese (Mn): used to regulate the magnetic and electrical properties of materials;
[0109] Cobalt (Co): used to regulate the magnetic and electrical properties of materials.
[0110] Doping methods include:
[0111] Chemical vapor deposition (CVD): Deposition is performed at high temperature using a doping gas source (such as SiH4, SnC14), controlling the gas flow rate and reaction time.
[0112] Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD): Sputtering deposition using doped targets, controlling power, gas pressure, and deposition time.
[0113] Sol-gel method: The doping element is dissolved in a precursor solution, and a thin film is prepared by spin coating or drop coating, followed by heat treatment to form doped gallium oxide.
[0114] The training method of the doping parameter recommendation model includes:
[0115] Set the recommended doping parameter sets with corresponding numbers in advance;
[0116] The defect types and defect repair coefficients are converted into a corresponding set of feature vectors, and each set of feature vectors is used as the input of the doping parameter recommendation model. The doping parameter recommendation model uses a set of doping parameter recommendation set numbers corresponding to each set of defect types and defect repair coefficients as output, and a set of doping parameter recommendation set numbers actually corresponding to each set of defect types and defect repair coefficients as prediction targets. Minimizing the loss function value of the doping parameter recommendation model is used as the training target. When the loss function value of the doping parameter recommendation model is less than or equal to the preset target loss value, training is stopped. The doping parameter recommendation model is one of the models such as support vector machine regression, random forest regression or neural network regression.
[0117] The loss function value of the doping parameter recommendation model is the mean square error.
[0118] By transforming the loss function The model is trained with minimization as the goal, so that the doping parameter recommendation model can better fit the data, thereby improving the performance and accuracy of the model. In the loss function, MSE is the loss function value of the doping parameter recommendation model, x is the eigenvector group number; m is the number of eigenvector groups; y x is the recommended set number of doping parameters corresponding to the xth group of eigenvectors, The recommended set number of the doping parameter corresponding to the x-th group of eigenvectors in real time.
[0119] Specifically, by obtaining the defect type, determining the defect type based on the defect type, obtaining the defect type and the defect degree corresponding to the defect type according to the repairable type, calculating and generating the defect repair coefficient, and inputting the collected defect type and defect repair coefficient into the pre-built doping parameter recommendation model to obtain the doping parameter recommendation set label, and then obtaining the doping parameter recommendation set corresponding to the doping parameter recommendation set label. According to the parameters in the doping parameter recommendation set, the gallium oxide material is doped and regulated, that is, intelligent predictive doping regulation is realized. By introducing suitable doping elements, the energy level changes caused by the defects are corrected, and the electrical properties of the gallium oxide material are optimized.

[0123] Step P2: Obtain image data of a normal gallium oxide material, perform grayscale processing, obtain the grayscale value of each pixel block in the standard image data, and mark it as a standard grayscale value;
[0124] Step P3: Compare and analyze the real-time grayscale value of each pixel block in the overall structural image with the standard grayscale value of the same position in the standard image data to determine whether to mark the pixel block as a defect;
[0125] Step P4: Extract pixel blocks with defect marks and record them as defective pixel blocks. Randomly select a defective pixel block as the target pixel block, preset a spacing threshold, obtain the distance between other defective pixel blocks and the target pixel block, and when the distance does not exceed the spacing threshold, use the obtained defective pixel block as the target pixel block again, and obtain the distance between other pixel blocks except the target pixel block and the target pixel block again. Traverse all defective pixel blocks and mark the area formed by all target pixel blocks as a defect-sensitive area.
