Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] Embodiments of the present application relate to the technical field of photoelectric detection, and particularly relate to a laser-induced periodic structure enhanced photoelectric detector and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] As an important device capable of converting optical signals into electrical signals, photoelectric detectors are widely used in the fields of optical communication, sensing detection, infrared guidance, etc. In order to meet the diversified photoelectric detection needs, various diversified photoelectric detector structures are widely studied. Among them, the Schottky photoelectric detector has the advantages of simple structure and fast response speed, and has become an important research direction in the field of optoelectronics. However, due to the internal photoemission effect, the Schottky detector is usually limited in key performance indicators such as quantum efficiency, cutoff wavelength and dark current. Especially for infrared light signals, as the energy of infrared photons decreases, the blocking effect of the Schottky barrier on the photoemission of hot carriers becomes obvious, which greatly reduces the detection ability of the Schottky photoelectric detector.

[0003] By designing and optimizing the surface or internal structure of the photoelectric detector, such as microcavity, waveguide, metal nanoantenna, surface plasmon polariton and light trapping structure to enhance light absorption, the performance of the Schottky photoelectric detector can be improved. This functional special structure is usually realized by using conventional nanofabrication techniques such as photolithography, electron beam exposure, nanoimprinting, etc. However, these conventional nanofabrication techniques still have certain limitations for the manufacture and application of photoelectric detectors. Although photolithography and electron beam exposure techniques can accurately realize complex structures with small area, the manufacturing efficiency is extremely low and the cost is too high, which is not suitable for industrialized mass production of photoelectric detectors. Although nanoimprinting can prepare nanostructures by template transfer, thereby realizing batch preparation, due to the direct pressure involved in the process, the imprinting template is inevitably worn out, and at the same time, the design structure fidelity may be reduced, or even the substrate material and structure may be damaged. In addition, the fixed template used in nanoimprinting also lacks flexibility and scalability. SUMMARY

[0004] Therefore, embodiments of the present application propose a laser-induced periodic structure enhanced photoelectric detector and a preparation method thereof, which can solve the technical problems of low quantum efficiency and complex preparation process of thermal electron photoelectric detectors, and can realize flexible regulation and control of the absorption characteristics of the photoelectric detector, and is simple to prepare and suitable for large-scale batch production.

[0023] In order to make the purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. In the various embodiments of the present application, many technical details are presented in order to make the present application better understood. However, the technical solutions claimed by the present application can be implemented even without these technical details and various changes and modifications based on the various embodiments below. The division of the various embodiments below is only for the convenience of description, and should not constitute any limitation on the specific implementation of the present application. The various embodiments can be combined and referenced to each other without contradiction.

[0024] One embodiment of the present application proposes a laser-induced periodic structure enhanced photodetector. The implementation details of the laser-induced periodic structure enhanced photodetector proposed in the embodiment will be described in detail below. The following content only provides implementation details for the convenience of understanding, and is not essential for implementing the present solution.

[0025] The specific structure of the laser-induced periodic structure enhanced photodetector proposed in the embodiment is shown in FIG. 1, which includes a substrate layer 1 from bottom to top, a grating template layer 2, a bottom metal layer 3, a semiconductor layer 4 and a surface metal layer 5. Figure 1

[0026] Due to the structural transmission of the grating template layer 2, the bottom metal layer 3, the semiconductor layer 4 and the surface metal layer 5 deposited above the grating template layer 2 also have nanometer grating structures. That is, the nanometer grating structure of the grating template layer 2 is transmitted from bottom to top to the bottom metal layer 3, the semiconductor layer 4 and the surface metal layer 5,

[0027] The injected light is injected into the surface metal layer 5, and the surface plasmon resonance is excited due to the nanometer grating structure of the surface metal layer 5, thereby enhancing the local electric field and further improving the absorption efficiency of the injected light. At the same time, the bottom metal layer 3, the semiconductor layer 4 and the surface metal layer 5 have a corrugated nanometer grating structure to improve the efficiency of hot electron injection, thereby improving the quantum efficiency and detection rate of the photodetector.

[0028] The bottom metal layer 3, the semiconductor layer 4 and the surface metal layer 5 form a metal-semiconductor-metal structure, and at the same time form a Fabry-Perot cavity structure. After the injected light is injected into the Fabry-Perot cavity structure, a standing wave is formed in the cavity, thereby interacting with the material to produce a cavity resonance enhancement effect, thereby improving the generation rate of photo-generated carriers and further improving the quantum efficiency and detection rate of the photodetector.

[0029] ​In addition, by adjusting the period of the grating structure of the grating template layer 2 and the thickness of the semiconductor layer 4 (i.e. adjusting the cavity length of the Fabry-Perot cavity), the multi-wavelength selection of the photoelectric detector can be realized.

[0030] In one example, the material of the substrate layer 1 is silicon, glass (silicon dioxide) or aluminum oxide (sapphire), the precursor of the grating template layer 2 is amorphous silicon, the material of the bottom metal layer 3 and the surface metal layer 5 is gold or silver, and the material of the semiconductor layer 4 is titanium dioxide.

[0031] In one example, the thickness of the precursor of the grating template layer 2 is 50-300 nm, the thickness of the bottom metal layer 3 is 100 nm, the thickness of the semiconductor layer 4 is 100-200 nm, and the thickness of the surface metal layer 5 is 10-30 nm.

[0032] In this embodiment, due to the structural transfer of the grating template layer, the bottom metal layer, the semiconductor layer and the surface metal layer deposited above the grating template layer also have nanometer grating structures, and the bottom metal layer, the semiconductor layer and the surface metal layer form a metal-semiconductor-metal structure, which not only forms a Fabry-Perot cavity to realize resonance absorption enhancement, but also uses the periodic surface grating induced by laser as an enhancement structure to excite surface plasmon resonance and enhance the interaction strength of light and matter. The corrugated nanometer grating structure increases the absorption area of the photoelectric detector surface to the injected light and the interaction area of light and matter, effectively enhances the absorption efficiency, thermoelectron generation rate and transition rate of the injected light, and greatly improves the detection rate of the photoelectric detector.

[0033] Correspondingly, another embodiment of the present application provides a preparation method of a photoelectric detector with laser-induced periodic structure enhancement.
