Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of semiconductor technology, and in particular relates to a flexible silicon-based phototransistor and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, flexible electronic technology has become one of the important research directions in the field of electronic information. It has broad application prospects in the fields of wearable devices, flexible displays, biomedical sensors and intelligent robots. As the core component of flexible electronic technology, flexible optoelectronic devices have attracted much attention because they can achieve efficient conversion and processing of optoelectronic signals. Compared with traditional electronics, flexible electronics have greater flexibility and can adapt to different working environments to a certain extent, meet the deformation requirements of equipment, and have the characteristics of lightness, softness, thinness and transparency. These characteristics make it conformal to other things, greatly expanding the scope of application of electronic devices.
[0003] Among many optoelectronic devices, phototransistors have shown significant advantages in many application scenarios due to their unique dual functions of light response and signal amplification. Not only can they generate current under illumination, but they can also amplify signals through internal gain mechanisms, which makes them have broad application potential in the fields of light detection, light sensing, optical communications, and optoelectronic integration. However, current flexible phototransistors still face a series of challenges and limitations in terms of preparation materials, performance, stability, and compatibility with other technologies.
[0004] First, from the perspective of material preparation, traditional flexible phototransistors are mainly prepared based on inorganic semiconductor thin film materials or organic materials. Although inorganic semiconductor thin film materials such as silicon and germanium have high carrier mobility and good photoelectric properties, their flexibility is relatively poor and it is difficult to meet the deformation and bending requirements of flexible electronic devices. Although organic materials have good flexibility and processability, their photoelectric properties, stability and long-term reliability are still insufficient, which limits the performance of flexible phototransistors in practical applications.
[0005] Secondly, in terms of performance, key parameters of flexible phototransistors such as sensitivity, response speed, and gain are often affected by multiple factors such as preparation process, material selection, and device structure. How to improve these key parameters while maintaining flexibility is a major problem in the current research on flexible phototransistors. In addition, the stability of flexible phototransistors under long-term illumination or complex environments is also an important factor affecting their application prospects. How to improve the stability and durability of the device while ensuring performance is an issue that researchers need to explore in depth.
[0006] Furthermore, how to combine flexible devices with mature silicon-based processes is another key issue in the current research on flexible phototransistors. As the mainstream technology in the current semiconductor industry, silicon-based processes are highly mature and controllable. However, the preparation of flexible devices often involves complex processes such as material synthesis, thin film deposition, and micro-nano processing, which are incompatible with silicon-based processes. How to combine the preparation process of flexible devices with silicon-based processes to improve the controllability of the device preparation process and its compatibility with existing industrial technologies is a technical problem that current researchers need to focus on. Summary of the invention

[0012] A further improvement of the present invention is that in step 2), when etching is performed in a water heating environment, heating is continued in a water environment at 85° C. and the etching time is 2 h.
[0013] A further improvement of the present invention is that in step 3), a radio frequency magnetron sputtering method is used, with a sputtering power of 95-105 W, an argon gas flow rate of 10 sccm, a sputtering pressure of 0.8-1.2 Pa, room temperature, pre-sputtering for 10 minutes, and formal sputtering for 25-30 minutes.
[0014] A further improvement of the present invention is that in step 4), a radio frequency magnetron sputtering method is used, with a sputtering power of 115-125 W, an oxygen flow rate of 5 sccm, an argon flow rate of 10 sccm, a sputtering pressure of 0.8-1.2 Pa, room temperature, pre-sputtering for 5 minutes, and formal sputtering for 30-35 minutes.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial technical effects: (1) Performance advantages: By optimizing the heterojunction interface characteristics and device structure design, the spectral response range and photoelectric conversion efficiency of the phototransistor are improved, and the flexible phototransistor is able to detect photons in a wide range of wavelengths from ultraviolet light to visible light to near-infrared light.
[0019] (2) Easy preparation: Using controllable low-temperature process and silicon-based transfer technology, the preparation process is simple, the film quality is stable, the thickness is controllable, and the production cost is reduced.
[0020] (3) Mechanical flexibility: The device can maintain stable photoelectric performance under multiple bending and deformation conditions, and the piezoelectric charge generated at the interface of the emitter junction and the collector junction by bending the device will significantly improve the photoresponse of the phototransistor. For 365 nm ultraviolet light, the photocurrent is 0.37 μA in the free state, and increases to 0.62 μA after applying a 1.5‰ tensile strain. Under a -1.5‰ compressive strain, the photocurrent increases to 1.95 μA, which is 6.32 times the tensile strain. For 648 nm visible light, under a -1.5‰ compressive strain, the photocurrent increases to a higher value, and under 830 nm near-infrared light, the photocurrent also shows a significant increase under compressive strain. These results show that with the increase of strain, the photocurrent is enhanced at different wavelengths, and the modulation effect of compressive strain is greater than that of tensile strain. (4) Strong compatibility: The preparation method is highly compatible with existing silicon-based microelectronics processes, facilitating large-scale integration and industrial applications.

[0035] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0036] The present invention provides a method for preparing a flexible silicon-based phototransistor, and the specific steps are as follows: 1) Use acetone, anhydrous ethanol and ultrapure water to ultrasonically clean the silicon wafer for 5 minutes respectively; 2) Place the cleaned silicon wafer into KOH solution and etch in 85℃ water environment for 2 hours; 3) Depositing AZO thin film on the back of the etched silicon wafer by radio frequency magnetron sputtering as the emitter of the phototransistor; 4) Depositing ZnO thin film on the front side of the etched silicon wafer by radio frequency magnetron sputtering as the collector of the phototransistor; 5) Connect the AZO on the back of the phototransistor to the ITO / PET substrate using conductive silver paste to transfer the device to a flexible substrate.
[0037] 6) Clamp one side of the flexible substrate to one end of the metal frame 5, and then use the metal screw 2 of the three-dimensional translation stage 1 to push the other side of the substrate 6 to apply strain to the device. Unlike the hard substrate, the hard substrate directly applies strain to the c-axis of the zinc oxide nanowire, but the strain applied to the flexible substrate is indirectly applied to the c-axis by applying strain to the a-axis and the b-axis.

[0041] This paper proposes an innovative n-AZO / p-Si / n-ZnO heterojunction structure, which shows excellent performance and wide application potential in the field of phototransistors. By carefully optimizing material selection and structural design, we have successfully achieved highly sensitive photoresponse of phototransistors in a wide spectral range, while achieving effective regulation of mechanical strain. This breakthrough not only provides new ideas for the research and development of flexible photodetection devices, but also provides strong support for performance improvement and environmental adaptability enhancement in practical applications.
[0042] In terms of material selection, the present invention uses n-type aluminum-doped zinc oxide (n-AZO), p-type silicon (p-Si) and n-type zinc oxide (n-ZnO) as the components of the heterojunction structure. As a transparent conductive oxide, n-AZO has excellent conductivity and light transmittance, and can effectively improve the light absorption efficiency and charge transfer capacity of phototransistors. As a semiconductor material, p-Si has a mature preparation process and stable electrical properties, and is an ideal choice for constructing high-performance heterojunction structures. Due to its good piezoelectric effect and photoelectric properties, n-ZnO plays an important role in mechanical strain regulation and light response.
[0043] In terms of structural design, the present invention achieves effective regulation of the internal electric field of the heterojunction structure and optimization of the charge transfer path by precisely controlling the thickness, doping concentration and interface quality of each layer of material. This structural design not only improves the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the phototransistor, but also enhances its sensitivity to mechanical strain and response speed.
[0044] The preparation method is simple and easy to achieve flexibility. By adopting mature thin film preparation technologies such as solution method and vapor deposition, we can easily prepare high-quality n-AZO / p-Si / n-ZnO heterojunction structures on flexible substrates. This flexible preparation process not only reduces production costs, but also improves the integrability and application range of devices.
[0045] In addition, the device also exhibits excellent optoelectronic performance and environmental adaptability. In a wide spectral range, the phototransistor exhibits highly sensitive light response characteristics, enabling rapid response and accurate detection of light of different wavelengths. At the same time, through effective regulation of mechanical strain, the device can also maintain stable performance output in complex environments.
[0046] In summary, the n-AZO / p-Si / n-ZnO heterojunction structure phototransistor proposed in the present invention has shown significant advantages in material selection, structural design, preparation process and performance. This innovative achievement not only provides new ideas and directions for the research and development of flexible photodetection devices, but also provides strong support for performance improvement and environmental adaptability enhancement in practical applications.
