Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of heat dissipation of optoelectronic devices, and in particular relates to a method for preparing a photoelectric detector with an ultrafast cooling structure. Background Art

[0002] As the trend of high performance, miniaturization and integration accelerates, the high heat generated by photodetectors during operation needs to be dissipated in a timely manner, otherwise it is very easy to cause problems such as damage to its internal structure, deformation of materials and functional failure. In order to ensure stable service and sufficient service life, good heat dissipation design has become the key to enhancing the reliability, responsiveness and integration of photodetectors.

[0003] Patent CN107731903A discloses a heat dissipation structure for an integrated photodetector, which is used to solve the problem of high temperature of multi-component circuit boards caused by long-term use of photodetectors. However, this structure uses wind power to cool the heat on the surface of the tower heat sink, which is a traditional cooling method and its thermal conductivity efficiency needs to be improved. Microchannel cooling increases the contact area between the radiator and the cooling medium per unit volume to obtain a very high surface heat transfer coefficient. Compared with it, it has obvious advantages such as compact structure, high heat exchange efficiency and small heat transfer temperature difference. Diamond material has excellent thermal conductivity (~2000W / m K), and its physical and chemical properties are stable and not easily corroded by the environment, making it an excellent material for making microchannels. Therefore, for photodetectors under the above heat dissipation requirements, diamond can be used as a heat dissipation substrate, especially for microchannel structures with added flowing cooling media, which can achieve ultra-fast heat dissipation, thereby effectively suppressing the temperature increase of the device during operation and ensuring its reliability and life.

[0004] Due to the low electron mobility (1350 cm 2 Intrinsic properties such as low bandgap (V / v·s) and indirect bandgap structure are increasingly showing their limitations in the field of optoelectronic devices. In addition, the operating wavelength of pure silicon-based photodetectors is also limited to visible light and part of the infrared band, which brings new challenges to the development of traditional photodetectors. Since the successful preparation of graphene, its semi-metallic zero bandgap, ultra-high mobility (>10000 cm 2 / v·s), and its compatibility with traditional materials such as silicon has been demonstrated in photoelectric detection applications. Among them, vertical graphene has extremely high light absorption rate due to its unique flake branching structure. At the same time, since vertical graphene can be grown directly on any substrate without a catalyst, it has more advantages in the application of photodetectors than planar graphene, which usually requires metal catalysis to prepare and transfer. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the heat dissipation problem of device operation and promote the application and development of silicon-based photodetectors, and give full play to the excellent characteristics of diamond and vertical graphene, the present invention provides a method for preparing a photodetector with an ultrafast cooling structure, specifically, placing a molybdenum wire on a silicon substrate with microgrooves to grow a diamond film, processing the diamond film with new microgrooves and then placing the molybdenum wire again to deposit diamond, preparing two layers of mutually perpendicular diamond-based liquid flow channels to obtain an ultrafast cooling structure, and then depositing a vertical graphene film on the flat surface of the silicon wafer with the ultrafast cooling structure, and finally plating a metal electrode on the vertical graphene and patterning it to prepare a photodetector with an ultrafast cooling structure.

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing a photodetector with an ultrafast cooling structure. Combining the excellent thermal conductivity of diamond, an ultrafast cooling structure is constructed through two layers of mutually perpendicular liquid flow channels, thereby achieving efficient heat dissipation to ensure the working stability and service life of the photodetector.

[0007] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose of the present invention, the following technical solutions are provided:

[0008] The present invention provides a method for preparing a photoelectric detector with an ultrafast cooling structure, comprising the following steps:

[0009] Step 1, silicon substrate pretreatment:

[0010] Perform micro-groove processing on the surface of the polished silicon wafer and ultrasonically clean the processed silicon wafer;

[0011] Step 2, place the molybdenum wire:

[0012] Molybdenum wires of consistent size are selected and placed on the micro-grooves of the silicon wafer;

[0013] Step 3, diamond preparation, micro-groove processing and acid treatment:

[0014] The silicon wafer with the molybdenum wire filled in the micro-grooves is used as a substrate for diamond growth, and is placed in a deposition device to prepare diamonds until the silicon wafer and the molybdenum wire surface are fully covered, and then diamonds of a certain thickness are grown, and the deposited diamonds are ground and polished, and then the micro-grooves are processed by laser in the direction perpendicular to the molybdenum wire and acid treated;

[0015] Step 4, place new molybdenum wire:

[0016] Use molybdenum wires of consistent size to place on the micro grooves of the diamond;

[0017] Step 5, preparation and processing of the second diamond film:

[0018] The diamond filled with molybdenum wire is placed in a deposition device to prepare a second layer of diamond film. After the diamond grows to fully cover the diamond substrate and the surface of the molybdenum wire, it grows to a certain thickness, and the grown diamond is ground and polished;

[0019] Step 6, remove the molybdenum wire:

[0020] The molybdenum wire between diamonds was treated with acid to obtain two layers of mutually perpendicular liquid flow channels;

[0021] Step 7, preparation of vertical graphene:

[0022] A vertical graphene film is prepared on a flat surface of a silicon substrate having a liquid flow channel;

[0023] Step 8, fabrication of photodetector:

[0024] A metal electrode of a certain thickness is plated on the vertical graphene film and patterned.

[0025] Furthermore, the micro grooves on the surface of the silicon wafer described in step 1 are processed by at least one of laser processing, physical etching, chemical etching and reactive ion etching.

[0026] Furthermore, the size of the micro-grooves processed in step 1 should satisfy that the inner depth of the groove is less than half of the inner width of the groove, and the inner width of the groove is less than the horizontal distance between the grooves.

[0027] Furthermore, the ultrasonic cleaning described in step 1 includes ultrasonic oscillation in acetone and ethanol for 10 minutes to 20 minutes respectively to remove the silicon wafer itself and pollutants generated during the processing.

[0028] Furthermore, the diameter of the cross-sectional dimension of the molybdenum wire described in step 2 must be no less than the width inside the groove and less than the horizontal distance between the grooves.

[0029] Furthermore, the preparation method described in step 3 may be a method of direct current arc plasma jet chemical vapor deposition (DCarc plasma jet CVD) or microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD).

[0030] Furthermore, the thickness of the diamond regrown after achieving full coverage of the silicon wafer and the molybdenum wire as described in step 3 is 1-3 mm.

[0031] Furthermore, the grinding and polishing method described in step 3 is to first laser cut 0.5-0.8 mm thick diamond from the diamond growth surface, and then use a grinder and a polisher to make its surface roughness (RMS) reach 0.001-0.05 μm.

[0032] Furthermore, the laser processing method described in step 3 is to use Nd:YAG laser beam to cut diamond.

[0033] Furthermore, the micro-groove dimensions described in step 3 should satisfy the requirements that the depth is no greater than 0.5 mm, the internal width of the groove is no less than twice the depth, and the horizontal distance between the grooves is greater than the internal width of the groove.

[0034] Furthermore, the acid treatment solution in step 3 is ultrasonically cleaned or boiled in high temperature acid using one of hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and nitric acid or a mixed solution, and then ultrasonically cleaned using acetone and alcohol.

[0035] Furthermore, the molybdenum wire size described in step 4 should be the same length as the length of the diamond micro-groove, and the cross-sectional diameter should be no less than the internal width of the diamond micro-groove and less than the horizontal distance between the grooves, preferably consistent with the internal width of the micro-groove.

[0036] Furthermore, the thickness of the diamond regrown after the full coverage of the diamond substrate and the molybdenum wire as described in step 5 is 0.5-1.5 mm.

[0037] Furthermore, the acid treatment in step 6 is ultrasonic cleaning using a mixed solution of aqua regia, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, etc., or boiling with high-temperature concentrated sulfuric acid, and finally ultrasonic cleaning using acetone and alcohol.

[0038] Furthermore, the preparation method of the vertical graphene described in step 7 is radio frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (RF-PECVD), the process parameters are temperature 600℃-900℃, air pressure 50-150Pa, radio frequency power 150-300W, introduction of methane and hydrogen mixed gas, the ratio of CH4:H2=0.5-3, growth 0.5-2h, and the thickness of the grown film is 0.3-1.0μm; high temperature annealing in H2 gas atmosphere for 30-60min before growth.

[0039] Furthermore, the plating method described in step 8 adopts at least one of electron beam evaporation and magnetron sputtering, and the electrode material adopts Cr / Au with thicknesses of 3 / 10nm-10 / 50nm respectively.

[0040] Furthermore, the patterning method of step 8 is coating, exposure and development, etching and stripping.

[0041] The key to the implementation of the present invention is:

[0042] 1. The micro-groove size satisfies that the internal width of the groove is less than the horizontal distance between the grooves. Silicon wafer and diamond micro-grooves are part of the liquid flow channel and also the guarantee for fixing the molybdenum wire. Too wide internal grooves will cause the molybdenum wires to stack with each other, affecting the subsequent preparation of diamond-based liquid flow channels.

[0043] 2. The size of the molybdenum wire must be consistent and not less than the width of the groove inside and less than the horizontal distance between the grooves. Molybdenum wire is used as a metal mask for preparing diamond film to form an ultra-fast cooling structure for the liquid flow channel. The appropriate size can ensure that the molybdenum wire is fixed flat on the micro-groove and that the heat dissipation of the liquid flow channel is uniform.

[0044] 3. After the diamond grows to fully cover the substrate and the molybdenum wire surface, a certain thickness of diamond is grown. In the early stage of growth, a low proportion of methane gas must be maintained to prevent the diamond on the molybdenum wire from growing too fast, and to ensure that the diamond deposition growth is uniform and connected with the subsequent lateral expansion of diamond. After fully covering the molybdenum wire and the substrate to achieve the preparation of the diamond film, a certain thickness of epitaxial growth is required to facilitate subsequent processing.

[0045] 4. Use acid to treat molybdenum wire. It can not only remove the molybdenum wire, but also effectively remove the graphite carbon produced after machining, grinding and polishing diamond. Finally, use acetone and alcohol ultrasonic cleaning to remove organic matter and possible metal residues.

[0046] 5. Prepare a vertical graphene film on the flat surface of the silicon substrate with a diamond-based liquid flow channel, and the thickness of the grown film is 0.3-1.0μm. The thickness of the graphene film can be adjusted through various process parameters. Too thin will lead to low light absorption rate, affecting the photoelectric conversion efficiency and thus the responsiveness, while too thick will be unfavorable for subsequent device processing.

[0047] The advantages of the present invention are:

[0048] 1. The ultrafast cooling structure provided by the present invention combines the high thermal conductivity of diamond and the higher heat transfer capacity of microchannels compared with traditional heat dissipation structures. When used, it is supplemented with flowing liquid as a cooling medium to dissipate the heat generated by the operation of the device with extremely high efficiency.

[0049] 2. The two layers of mutually perpendicular liquid flow channels designed in the present invention ensure the temperature stability of the liquid flow channel in the middle layer through the pure diamond-based liquid flow channel in the bottom layer, thereby achieving continuous heat dissipation of the photodetector by the liquid flow channel in the middle layer, effectively suppressing the temperature rise of the device to ensure reliability and life.

[0050] 3. The vertical graphene used in the present invention grows directly on the silicon wafer, avoiding various problems caused by traditional transfer technology and simplifying the preparation process. The graphene film has the advantages of precise thickness control, strong repeatability, wide spectrum absorption, and high photoelectric conversion rate. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
