Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of heat dissipation in optoelectronic devices, and particularly relates to a method for fabricating a photodetector with an ultrafast cooling structure. Background Technology
[0002] With the accelerating trends towards high performance, miniaturization, and integration, the high heat generated during the operation of photodetectors needs to be dissipated in a timely manner; otherwise, it can easily lead to problems such as damage to their internal structure, material deformation, and functional failure. Therefore, in order to ensure stable service and sufficient service life, good heat dissipation design has become the key to enhancing the reliability, increasing the responsivity, and improving the integration of photodetectors.
[0003] Patent CN107731903A discloses a heat dissipation structure for an integrated photodetector, designed to address the high temperature problem of multi-component circuit boards after prolonged use of photodetectors. However, this structure utilizes airflow to cool the surface of the tower-shaped heat sink, a traditional cooling method with insufficient thermal conductivity. Microchannel cooling, by increasing the contact area between the heat sink and the cooling medium per unit volume, achieves a very high surface heat transfer coefficient, offering significant advantages such as compact structure, high heat exchange efficiency, and small temperature difference. Furthermore, diamond material exhibits excellent thermal conductivity (~2000W / m²). Diamond (K) is a stable material with good physical and chemical properties, and is not easily corroded by the environment, making it an excellent material for fabricating microchannels. Therefore, for photodetectors with the aforementioned heat dissipation requirements, diamond can be used as a heat dissipation substrate, especially for microchannel structures with added flowing cooling media, enabling ultra-fast heat dissipation, thereby effectively suppressing the rise in device temperature during operation and ensuring its reliability and lifespan.
[0004] Due to the low electron mobility (1350 cm⁻¹) of traditional silicon materials. 2 The inherent characteristics of graphene, such as its zero bandgap and indirect bandgap structure, are increasingly limiting its application in optoelectronic devices. Furthermore, the operating wavelength of pure silicon-based photodetectors is also limited to the visible light and part of the infrared band, posing new challenges to the development of traditional photodetectors. Since the successful preparation of graphene, its semi-metallic zero bandgap and ultra-high mobility (>10000 cm⁻¹) have become increasingly apparent. 2 The compatibility of graphene with traditional materials such as silicon ( / v·s) has been demonstrated in optoelectronic detection applications. Among them, vertical graphene, based on its unique flake-branched structure, exhibits extremely high light absorption. Furthermore, because vertical graphene can be grown directly on any substrate without a catalyst, it offers significant advantages in photodetector applications compared to planar graphene, which typically requires metal catalysis for preparation and transfer. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the heat dissipation problem during device operation and promote the application development of silicon-based photodetectors, and to fully utilize the excellent properties of diamond and vertical graphene, this invention provides a method for fabricating a photodetector with an ultrafast cooling structure. Specifically, a diamond film is grown on a silicon substrate with microchannels by placing a molybdenum wire on the substrate. After processing the diamond film to create new microchannels, the molybdenum wire is placed again to deposit diamond, thus creating two mutually perpendicular diamond-based liquid flow channels to obtain an ultrafast cooling structure. A vertical graphene film is then deposited on the flat surface of the silicon wafer with the ultrafast cooling structure. Finally, a metal electrode is deposited on the vertical graphene and patterned to fabricate a photodetector with an ultrafast cooling structure.
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for fabricating a photodetector with an ultrafast cooling structure. By 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] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives of the present invention, the following technical solutions are provided:
[0008] This invention provides a method for fabricating a photodetector with an ultrafast cooling structure, comprising the following steps:
[0009] Step 1, Silicon substrate pretreatment:
[0010] Microchannels are processed on the surface of polished silicon wafers, and the processed silicon wafers are then ultrasonically cleaned.
[0011] Step 2, Place the molybdenum wire:
[0012] Molybdenum wires of uniform size are placed on the microchannels of the silicon wafer;
[0013] Step 3: Diamond preparation, microchannel processing, and acid treatment:
[0014] The silicon wafer filled with molybdenum wires through microchannels is used as a substrate for diamond growth. Diamond is prepared in a deposition equipment to fully cover the surface of the silicon wafer and molybdenum wires, and then a certain thickness of diamond is grown. After the deposited diamond is ground and polished, microchannels are processed by laser in a direction perpendicular to the molybdenum wires and acid treatment is performed.
[0015] Step 4, Place the new molybdenum wire:
[0016] Molybdenum wires of uniform size are placed on the microchannels 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 equipment to prepare a second diamond film. After the diamond grows to fully cover the diamond substrate and the surface of the molybdenum wire, a certain thickness is grown, and the grown diamond is ground and polished.
[0019] Step 6, Remove the molybdenum wire:
[0020] Acid treatment was used to create two layers of mutually perpendicular liquid flow channels between the molybdenum wires between the diamonds.
[0021] Step 7, Preparation of vertical graphene:
[0022] Vertical graphene films are prepared on a flat surface of a silicon substrate with liquid flow channels.
[0023] Step 8, Fabrication of the photodetector:
[0024] A metal electrode of a certain thickness is deposited on a vertical graphene film and then patterned.
[0025] Furthermore, the microchannels on the silicon wafer surface described in step 1 are processed using at least one of the following processes: laser processing, physical etching, chemical etching, and reactive ion etching.
[0026] Furthermore, the dimensions of the microchannels processed in step 1 should satisfy the following requirements: the depth of the channel is less than half of the width of the channel, and the width of the channel is less than the horizontal distance between the channels.
[0027] Furthermore, the ultrasonic cleaning described in step 1 includes ultrasonic oscillation in acetone and ethanol for 10-20 minutes respectively to remove the silicon wafer itself and contaminants generated during processing.
[0028] Furthermore, the diameter of the molybdenum wire cross-section described in step 2 must be not less than the width inside the channel and less than the horizontal distance between the channels.
[0029] Furthermore, the preparation method described in step 3 can be one of DC arc plasma jet chemical vapor deposition (DCarc plasma jet CVD) or microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD).
[0030] Furthermore, the thickness of the regenerated diamond after achieving full coverage of the silicon wafer and molybdenum wire, as described in step 3, is 1-3 mm.
[0031] Furthermore, the grinding and polishing method described in step 3 involves first laser-removing a 0.5-0.8 mm thick diamond from the diamond growth surface, and then using a grinding machine and a polishing machine to achieve a surface roughness (RMS) of 0.001-0.05 μm.
[0032] Furthermore, the laser processing method described in step 3 is to use an Nd:YAG laser beam to cut diamond.
[0033] Furthermore, the dimensions of the microchannels described in step 3 should meet the following requirements: the depth should not exceed 0.5 mm, the internal width of the channel should not be less than twice the depth, and the horizontal distance between channels should be greater than the internal width of the channel.
[0034] Furthermore, the acid treatment solution described in step 3 is subjected to ultrasonic cleaning or high-temperature acid boiling using one or a mixture of hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and nitric acid, followed by ultrasonic cleaning with acetone and alcohol.
[0035] Furthermore, the dimensions of the molybdenum wire described in step 4 should satisfy the requirement that its length is the same as the length of the diamond microchannel, and its cross-sectional diameter is not less than the internal width of the diamond microchannel while being less than the horizontal distance between the channels, preferably being consistent with the internal width of the microchannel.
[0036] Furthermore, the thickness of the regenerated diamond after achieving full coverage of the diamond substrate and molybdenum wire, as described in step 5, is 0.5-1.5 mm.
[0037] Furthermore, the acid treatment described in step 6 involves ultrasonic cleaning with a mixed solution of aqua regia, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and nitric acid, or boiling with concentrated sulfuric acid at high temperature, followed by ultrasonic cleaning with acetone and alcohol.
[0038] Furthermore, the vertical graphene described in step 7 is prepared by radio frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (RF-PECVD), with process parameters of temperature 600℃-900℃, gas pressure 50-150Pa, radio frequency power 150-300W, introduction of a mixed gas of methane and hydrogen in a ratio of CH4:H2=0.5-3, growth time of 0.5-2h, and film thickness of 0.3-1.0μm; before growth, it is annealed at high temperature in an H2 gas atmosphere for 30-60min.
[0039] Furthermore, the plating method described in step 8 employs at least one of electron beam evaporation and magnetron sputtering, and the electrode material is Cr / Au with thicknesses ranging from 3 / 10nm to 10 / 50nm.
[0040] Furthermore, the patterning method in step 8 is to apply adhesive, expose and develop, etch, and strip to remove the adhesive.
[0041] The key to the implementation of this invention lies in:
[0042] 1. The microchannel dimensions must ensure that the internal width of the channel is less than the horizontal distance between channels. Silicon wafers and diamond microchannels are integral parts of the liquid flow channels and also ensure the fixation of molybdenum wires. Excessively wide internal channels can cause the molybdenum wires to stack, affecting the subsequent fabrication of diamond-based liquid flow channels.
[0043] 2. The dimensions of the molybdenum wires must be consistent, and must be no less than the width inside the channels while being less than the horizontal distance between channels. Using molybdenum wires as the metal mask for preparing diamond films to form an ultrafast cooling structure with liquid flow channels requires appropriate dimensions to ensure that the molybdenum wires are flatly fixed on the microchannels and that heat dissipation is uniform within the liquid flow channels.
[0044] 3. After diamond is grown to fully cover the substrate and the surface of the molybdenum wire, a further layer of diamond of a certain thickness is grown. During the initial growth stage, a low methane gas ratio must be maintained to prevent excessively rapid diamond growth on the surface of the molybdenum wire, ensuring uniform diamond deposition and connection for subsequent lateral diamond expansion. After the diamond film is fully covered by the molybdenum wire and substrate, an epitaxial regrowth of a certain thickness is necessary to facilitate subsequent processing.
[0045] 4. Use acid to treat the molybdenum wire. This can remove the molybdenum wire and also effectively remove the graphite carbon produced after processing, grinding, and polishing diamond. Finally, ultrasonic cleaning with acetone and alcohol can remove organic matter and any possible metal residues.
[0046] 5. Vertical graphene films are fabricated on a flat surface of a silicon substrate with diamond-based liquid flow channels, with a film thickness of 0.3-1.0 μm. The thickness of the graphene film can be adjusted through various process parameters. If it is too thin, the light absorption rate will be low, affecting the photoelectric conversion efficiency and thus the responsivity. If it is too thick, it will be detrimental to subsequent device fabrication.
[0047] The advantages of this invention are:
[0048] 1. The ultra-fast cooling structure provided by this invention combines the high thermal conductivity of diamond with the higher heat transfer capacity of microchannels compared to traditional heat dissipation structures. When applied, the addition of flowing liquid as a cooling medium can dissipate the heat generated during device operation with extremely high efficiency.
[0049] 2. The two mutually perpendicular liquid flow channels designed in this 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 enabling the liquid flow channel in the middle layer to continuously dissipate heat from the photodetector, effectively suppressing the temperature rise of the device to ensure reliability and lifespan.
[0050] 3. The vertical graphene growth method used in this invention, where graphene is grown directly on a silicon wafer, avoids various problems associated with traditional transfer techniques and simplifies the fabrication process. The resulting graphene film offers advantages such as precise thickness control, high repeatability, retention of broad-spectrum absorption, and high photoelectric conversion efficiency.
