Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of solar-blind ultraviolet detector materials, and in particular to a diamond / gallium oxide heterojunction and application thereof in solar-blind ultraviolet detectors. Background Art
[0002] As a new type of photoelectric detection device, solar-blind ultraviolet detectors have important applications in the fields of solar ultraviolet radiation monitoring, fire warning, biochemical detection, and military warning. This type of detector needs to have high responsiveness in the deep ultraviolet band (200~280nm) and extremely low response to visible light to achieve accurate detection of the target spectrum. Heterostructures based on wide-bandgap semiconductor materials are an important way to achieve high-performance solar-blind ultraviolet detection. Diamond and Ga2O3 have excellent photoelectric properties and suitable bandgap widths, making them high-performance heterojunction materials. Diamond has characteristics such as an ultra-wide bandgap of 5.47eV, high carrier mobility, and excellent thermal conductivity, while Ga2O3 has a tunable band structure and good chemical stability. The heterojunction of the two materials can give full play to their respective advantages, providing an important basis for the realization of high-performance solar-blind ultraviolet detectors.
[0003] At present, heterostructures based on diamond and Ga2O3 still face key challenges in interface engineering and detection efficiency in practical applications. For example, the Chinese patent with publication number CN117976758A discloses a solar-blind ultraviolet detector based on diamond / AlScN heterojunction, but due to the interface lattice mismatch, the interface state density is high and the carrier recombination loss is serious, which ultimately affects the quantum efficiency of the device. The Chinese patent with publication number CN116779725A proposes a solar-blind ultraviolet photodetector based on Ga2O3-few-layer MXenes heterojunction, but the interface bonding is not tight and the energy band mismatch limits the effective separation and transmission of photogenerated carriers. In addition, the stress regulation and defect passivation of the interface between diamond and Ga2O3 heterojunction in the prior art have not been effectively solved, and the interface state and energy band discontinuity lead to increased carrier recombination losses. At the same time, the crystal phase regulation and interface bonding mechanism of Ga2O3 are not well studied, which hinders the breakthrough improvement of device performance. The existence of these key scientific issues seriously restricts the practical application of diamond / gallium oxide heterojunction solar-blind ultraviolet detectors. Summary of the invention
[0004] (1) Technical issues solved
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a diamond / gallium oxide heterojunction and its application in a solar-blind ultraviolet detector, so as to solve the problem that the current heterojunction has insufficient performance in interface engineering and detection efficiency.
[0006] (2) Technical solution
[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
[0008] A diamond / gallium oxide heterojunction, comprising a single crystal diamond layer and a Zr-doped ε-Ga2O3 layer on the single crystal diamond layer;
[0009] The single crystal diamond layer is a single crystal diamond with a (100) orientation, and the surface roughness RMS of the single crystal diamond is 2-6 nm;
[0010] The Zr-doped ε-Ga2O3 layer is Zr-doped ε-Ga2O3 heteroepitaxially grown on the surface of a single crystal diamond by a pulsed laser deposition method; the Zr-doped ε-Ga2O3 grows along the (001) direction on the surface of the single crystal diamond; the Zr-doped ε-Ga2O3 has a columnar crystal structure;
[0011] The preparation method of the diamond / gallium oxide heterojunction comprises the following steps: placing a single crystal diamond in a magnetron sputtering deposition chamber, using an RF sputtering mode and a DC sputtering mode for a Ga2O3 target and a Zr target respectively, with an oxygen partial pressure of 0.010-0.020 mbar, a substrate temperature of 550-570°C, an RF sputtering power of 100-200 W, a DC sputtering power of 10-50 W, a deposition time of 180-240 min, and a deposition thickness of 300-500 nm.
[0012] The present invention selects (100) oriented single crystal diamond as the substrate material, which can not only provide an ideal lattice matching platform, but also its crystal orientation arrangement perpendicular to the heterojunction interface is conducive to the directional transmission of carriers. The Zr-doped ε-Ga2O3 grown on the surface of single crystal diamond by pulsed laser deposition presents a regular columnar crystal structure and grows preferentially along the (001) direction. This specific growth orientation not only ensures the lattice matching degree with the single crystal diamond substrate, but also forms a channel structure that is conducive to carrier transmission. The introduction of Zr doping can regulate the band structure and carrier concentration of ε-Ga2O3. At the same time, the formation of the columnar crystal structure helps to provide a direct carrier transmission path. These features work synergistically with the single crystal diamond substrate to significantly improve the bonding quality and carrier transmission efficiency of the heterojunction interface. In addition, Zr-doped ε-Ga2O3 has a more suitable band structure than other phases, and the heterojunction formed with single crystal diamond can achieve higher performance band matching, which is conducive to the effective separation and collection of photogenerated carriers, thereby improving the detection sensitivity and response characteristics of the device. The low roughness of the single crystal diamond surface of the present invention creates favorable conditions for the subsequent epitaxial growth of Ga2O3.
[0013] Preferably, the interface between the single crystal diamond layer and the Zr-doped ε-Ga2O3 layer is a coherent interface; the diamond / gallium oxide heterojunction of the present invention achieves coherent bonding of the heterojunction interface by constructing a high-quality Zr-doped ε-Ga2O3 heteroepitaxial layer on the (100) oriented single crystal diamond surface, thereby effectively solving key problems such as lattice mismatch and carrier recombination existing in traditional diamond-based heterojunction interfaces.
[0014] Preferably, the Zr atom doping amount of the Zr-doped ε-Ga2O3 is ; The carrier concentration of the Zr-doped ε-Ga2O3 is . The present invention achieves highly selective detection of heterojunction devices in the deep ultraviolet band by optimizing the Zr doping amount and carrier concentration. By precisely controlling the Zr atomic doping concentration, the band structure and carrier concentration of ε-Ga2O3 are successfully regulated to match the energy band of diamond. This doping regulation not only optimizes the carrier transmission characteristics, but also significantly improves the photoelectric response performance of the device.
[0015] Preferably, within the wavelength range of 210-280 nm, the ratio of the response value of the diamond / gallium oxide heterojunction at a wavelength of 210 nm to that at 280 nm is 150-180, and the ratio of the response value at a wavelength of 240 nm to that at 280 nm is 90-110.
[0016] Preferably, the dark current of the diamond / gallium oxide heterojunction at a bias voltage of 10V is , the photocurrent under ultraviolet irradiation is .
[0017] In terms of spectral response characteristics, the heterojunction structure exhibits excellent wavelength selectivity in the deep ultraviolet band, especially in the wavelength range of 210~280nm, which shows obvious cutoff characteristics, which is highly consistent with the requirements of high-performance day-blind ultraviolet detection. The device exhibits extremely low dark current and high photocurrent under bias voltage, reflecting an excellent light-to-dark current ratio. This performance feature originates from the high-quality coherent interface formed between single crystal diamond and Zr-doped ε-Ga2O3, as well as the reasonable energy band design achieved through doping.
[0018] The synergistic effect of the ultra-wide bandgap characteristics of diamond and the band structure of ε-Ga2O3 regulated by Zr doping not only ensures the high responsiveness of the device in the deep ultraviolet region, but also effectively suppresses the visible light response and achieves high-performance solar-blind characteristics. This design strategy based on heterojunction interface engineering and carrier regulation provides a feasible technical path for the realization of high-performance solar-blind ultraviolet photodetectors.

[0025] Preferably, the method for preparing the Ir / YSZ / Si(100) substrate comprises the following steps:
[0026] A Si (100) wafer with a thickness of 2.0 to 4.0 mm was used as the substrate and placed in a vacuum chamber. In a high vacuum chamber of Torr, a pulsed laser deposition method is used to prepare YSZ with a thickness of 20-50 nm on a Si(100) wafer. The deposition temperature is 700-750°C, the wavelength of the pulsed laser is 248 nm, the laser repetition frequency is 5-10 Hz, the laser energy density is 1.5-2.0 J / cm², and 99.99% pure oxygen with a flow rate of 50-100 sccm is used as the reaction atmosphere. The deposition time is 15-30 min, and YSZ / Si(100) is obtained after the deposition is completed and cooled to room temperature.

This scheme realizes the preparation of high-quality single-crystal diamond substrates and the controllable growth of Zr-doped ε-Ga2O3 through a precisely controlled multi-step preparation process. First, Ir / YSZ / Si (100) is used as the substrate material, and the growth of the YSZ buffer layer and the Ir transition layer is precisely controlled by pulsed laser deposition and electron beam evaporation technology, providing an ideal lattice matching platform for the subsequent epitaxial growth of single-crystal diamond. In the process of microwave plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition, the controllable growth of high-quality single-crystal diamond is achieved by optimizing the process parameters of the two stages of nucleation and growth, including bias voltage, microwave power, temperature, pressure, and reaction gas ratio.

[0099] Table 1 Performance convergence of heterojunctions of Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3
[0100]
[0101] The main difference between Comparative Example 1 and Example 1 is that Comparative Example 1 uses polycrystalline diamond as the substrate, while Example 1 uses single crystal diamond. It can be seen from the data in the table that the 210nm / 280nm response value ratio of Comparative Example 1 is 110, which is significantly lower than 150 of Example 1. This shows that the polycrystalline diamond substrate has a weak response ability to short-wavelength ultraviolet light. The reason may be that the polycrystalline substrate has more grain boundary defects, which makes it easy for photogenerated carriers to recombine during the transmission process, thereby reducing the light response efficiency. Similarly, the 240nm / 280nm response value ratio in Comparative Example 1 is also significantly lower than that in Example 1 (60 vs. 90), which further shows that the ultraviolet response ability of the polycrystalline diamond substrate in the longer wavelength band is also poor. In terms of dark current, the dark current of Comparative Example 1 is , much higher than that of Example 1 This is because the grain boundary defects in the polycrystalline diamond substrate create more leakage paths, resulting in increased dark current and affecting the noise performance of the detector. Higher dark current means higher noise levels in the detector under no-light conditions, which has a negative impact on the sensitivity of the detector. In terms of photocurrent, the photocurrent of Comparative Example 1 is , lower than that of Example 1 The decrease in photocurrent is also related to the high defect density of the polycrystalline diamond substrate. The presence of grain boundary defects reduces the effective transmission of photogenerated carriers, resulting in a decrease in photocurrent. Finally, the light-to-dark current ratio of Comparative Example 1 is , much lower than that of Example 1 The significant decrease in the light-to-dark current ratio indicates that the detector prepared on the polycrystalline substrate has a larger noise and weaker signal recognition ability. Therefore, although the polycrystalline diamond substrate may have an advantage in cost, its performance is significantly inferior to that of the single crystal substrate, especially in sensitivity and noise performance.
[0102] The main difference between Comparative Example 2 and Example 1 is that The film was not doped, while Zr was doped in Example 1. As can be seen from the table, the 210nm / 280nm response value ratio of Comparative Example 2 is 90, which is much lower than 150 of Example 1. This shows that the undoped The material's response ability under short-wavelength ultraviolet light is significantly weaker. Doping can improve the separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers by introducing more free carriers, while the undoped material has a significantly reduced light response ability due to its low carrier concentration. Similarly, the 240nm / 280nm response value ratio in Comparative Example 2 is 55, which is also significantly lower than 90 in Example 1, indicating that the undoped material also has poor response ability in the long-wave band. In terms of dark current, the dark current of Comparative Example 2 is , slightly higher than that of Example 1 Undoped materials may have more intrinsic defects, which will generate a small amount of leakage current, resulting in a slight increase in dark current, but the magnitude is not large. In terms of photocurrent, the photocurrent of Comparative Example 2 is , significantly lower than that of Example 1 The main reason for the decrease in the photocurrent of the undoped material is the low generation and separation efficiency of the photogenerated carriers. Doping can effectively increase the photogenerated carrier concentration and mobility of the material, thereby increasing the photocurrent. The light-to-dark current ratio of Comparative Example 2 is , although slightly higher than that of Comparative Example 1 , but still much lower than that of Example 1 Doping can significantly improve the photoelectric performance of the detector. Undoped materials perform poorly in the separation and collection efficiency of photogenerated carriers, resulting in a decrease in photocurrent and an increase in noise, which ultimately reduces the signal recognition ability of the detector.
[0103] The main difference between Comparative Example 3 and Example 1 is that the diamond substrate surface roughness RMS of Comparative Example 3 is higher (10nm), while the surface of Example 1 is relatively smooth. As can be seen from the table, the 210nm / 280nm response value ratio of Comparative Example 3 is 130, slightly lower than 150 of Example 1. The increase in surface roughness will lead to more surface state defects, which cause surface recombination of photogenerated carriers, thereby reducing the light response efficiency of the material. Similarly, the 240nm / 280nm response value ratio in Comparative Example 3 is 75, which is also lower than 90 of Example 1, indicating that surface roughness also has a negative impact on the long-wave ultraviolet response. In terms of dark current, the dark current of Comparative Example 3 is , slightly higher than that of Example 1 The higher surface roughness increases the number of surface state defects, which become the source of leakage current and lead to the increase of dark current. In terms of photocurrent, the photocurrent of comparative example 3 is , slightly lower than that of Example 1 The increase in surface roughness causes some photogenerated carriers to scatter or recombine on the surface before reaching the electrode, resulting in a slight decrease in photocurrent. The light-to-dark current ratio of Comparative Example 3 is , which is significantly lower than that of Example 1 Although the effect of surface roughness is not as significant as that of doping and substrate material, it still has a certain negative impact on the optoelectronic performance of the detector, especially in terms of noise performance and signal recognition ability.
[0104] In summary, from the above comparison, it can be seen that the substrate material, doping treatment and surface roughness have a significant impact on the performance of the detector. Comparative Example 1 using a polycrystalline diamond substrate has the worst performance in terms of photoelectric performance and noise performance, mainly because the grain boundary defects of the polycrystalline substrate increase the dark current and reduce the photocurrent. In comparative example 2, the performance is also poor. Although the dark current is low, the light response ability and photocurrent are obviously insufficient, resulting in a decrease in the light-to-dark current ratio. The increase in surface roughness has a relatively small impact on the performance in comparative example 3, but it still leads to a decrease in the photocurrent and light-to-dark current ratio. Among all comparative examples, Example 1 always shows the best performance, indicating that the single crystal diamond substrate, Zr-doped And low surface roughness is the key factor to obtain high-performance solar-blind UV detectors.
