Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a phototransistor detector based on a quasi-one-dimensional (TaSe4)2I and two-dimensional MoTe2 mixed-dimensional composite structure, belonging to the technical field of low-dimensional materials and photoelectric functional devices. Technical Background

[0002] Polarization photodetectors, by recognizing light polarization, can achieve high resolution and more surface information for distant targets in complex environments. They are currently widely used in military and civilian fields such as bioimaging, optical radar, night vision, and remote sensing. In recent years, anisotropic low-dimensional materials have been widely used to fabricate polarization-sensitive photodetectors.

[0003] Quasi-one-dimensional materials, whose crystal structures contain one-dimensional atomic chains, exhibit large anisotropy in their optoelectronic properties due to their large intrinsic structural anisotropy, making them excellent candidates for polarization photodetection devices. Among them, the quasi-one-dimensional (TaSe4)2I is a Weyl semimetal material, belonging to the tetragonal crystal system and the I422 space group. [TaSe4] chains, serving as the basic structural framework, are arranged parallel to the c-axis and separated by iodine chains. Each [TaSe4] chain is composed of alternating Ta atoms and Se4 rectangles with four Se atoms at the corners. The low-symmetry crystal structure resulting from the [TaSe4] and II chains gives (TaSe4)2I remarkable anisotropic electrical, thermal, and optical properties. Furthermore, the unique topological semimetal band structure endows (TaSe4)2I with advantages such as high carrier mobility and ultra-broadband optical absorption. In summary, due to its unique structural anisotropy and excellent optoelectronic properties, the quasi-one-dimensional semimetal (TaSe4)2I has important application prospects in the field of polarization photodetection devices.

[0004] However, due to the band structure of the (TaSe4)2I semimetal, (TaSe4)2I-based photodetectors exhibit large dark currents, which severely impacts the device's signal-to-noise ratio. Therefore, a unique device structure design is urgently needed to address this issue, thereby improving the device's sensitivity, on / off ratio, and other comprehensive performance characteristics to meet practical application requirements.

[0005] Van der Waals heterostructures based on low-dimensional materials are currently emerging as promising candidates for next-generation electronic and optoelectronic devices due to their versatile device configurations and outstanding optoelectronic properties. Compared to traditional single-material devices, heterostructured devices can overcome the shortcomings of single materials and broaden the possibilities of functional nanoscale devices. Therefore, constructing heterojunction devices has the potential to overcome the large dark current limitation of quasi-one-dimensional (TaSe4)2I and realize high-performance polarization photodetectors. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The present invention addresses the shortcomings of photodetectors based on the quasi-one-dimensional semi-metallic material (TaSe4)2I in terms of detection performance, such as excessive dark current leading to a low signal-to-noise ratio. The present invention provides a phototransistor detector with a mixed dimensional heterostructure of quasi-one-dimensional (TaSe4)2I and two-dimensional MoTe2, which has excellent performance, can suppress the large dark current of (TaSe4)2I, and increase the photocurrent of the device. A method for preparing the phototransistor detector is also provided. The vertical structure of the heterojunction can accelerate carrier separation and suppress dark current; at the same time, MoTe2 increases the light absorption of the device, which will increase the photocurrent of the device. The photocurrent can be further increased by regulating the gate voltage. Therefore, the phototransistor detector based on the (TaSe4)2I / MoTe2 heterojunction has a high responsiveness and can achieve highly sensitive photodetection. Furthermore, due to the increase in carrier separation efficiency, the polarization detection capability of the device can also be enhanced.

[0007] The quasi-one-dimensional (TaSe4)2I and two-dimensional MoTe2 composite structure phototransistor detector of the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0008] This composite phototransistor detector consists, from bottom to top, of a Si substrate, a SiO2 gate dielectric layer, a quasi-one-dimensional (TaSe4)2I2 nanofilm, and a two-dimensional MoTe2 nanofilm. Metal electrodes are placed on the quasi-one-dimensional (TaSe4)2I2 and MoTe2 nanofilms, forming a heterostructure of (TaSe4)2I2, MoTe22, and metal electrodes. The mixed-dimensional heterojunction (TaSe4)2I2 / MoTe2 serves as the channel material, with a Si substrate and SiO2 as the gate dielectric layer. Applying a gate voltage to the silicon modulates the photocurrent.

[0009] The thickness of the [TaSe4]2I nanowire is 50 to 200 nm.

[0010] The Si substrate is a heavily doped P-type silicon wafer with a surface SiO2 thickness of 280 to 300 nm.

[0011] The thickness of the MoTe2 nanofilm is 30-100 nm.

[0012] The metal electrodes are 3-5 nm chromium and 30-50 nm gold.

[0013] The detector described above combines (TaSe4)2I and MoTe2 via van der Waals forces to form a (TaSe4)2I / MoTe2 mixed-dimensional heterojunction. The vertical structure of this heterojunction improves carrier separation efficiency, suppressing the high dark current of the (TaSe4)2I. Furthermore, MoTe2 enhances the device's light absorption, increasing its photocurrent. The high photocurrent and low dark current give the one-dimensional (TaSe4)2I and two-dimensional MoTe2 mixed-dimensional heterojunction phototransistor ultrasensitive photodetection performance. Furthermore, the large anisotropy and ultra-broadband response of the (TaSe4)2I heterojunction phototransistor endow it with polarization detection capabilities and visible-infrared broadband detection capabilities.

[0014] The method for preparing the quasi-one-dimensional [TaSe4]2I and two-dimensional MoTe2 composite structure phototransistor photodetector comprises the following steps:

[0015] (1) Transferring [TaSe4]2I nanowires onto a Si substrate;

[0016] The specific process is: [TaSe4]2I nanowires are transferred to a Si substrate with a SiO2 surface using polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) tape.

[0017] (2) Transferring the MoTe2 nanofilm to one side of the [TaSe4]2I nanowire already placed on the Si substrate;

[0018] (3) Spin-coating photoresist uniformly on the surface of the Si substrate to prepare the pattern of the bottom electrode;

[0019] The rotation speed of the spin-coated photoresist is 3500 to 4500 rpm, and the spinning time is 30 to 40 seconds.

[0020] (4) Positioning and exposing the bottom electrode pattern, and then developing it to expose the portion where the electrode needs to be deposited;

[0021] (5) Preparation of metal electrodes;

[0022] The preparation process of [TaSe4]2I nanowires in step (1) is:

[0023] ① Prepare the ingredients according to the molar ratio of Ta:Se:I=2:8~8.1:1~2, put them into a quartz tube, mix them evenly, sinter and seal the tube after vacuuming;

[0024] The vacuum degree of the vacuum pumping is 3 to 5×10 -4 Pa.

[0025] ② Place the quartz tube in a heating furnace and gradually increase the temperature to allow the raw materials to fully react;

[0026] The staged heating is firstly heating to 120-150° C. over 10-15 hours and keeping the temperature constant for 5-20 hours; then heating to 600-700° C. over 10-25 hours and keeping the temperature constant for 25-35 hours.

[0027] ③ After the reaction is completed, the temperature of the heating furnace body is reduced to 400-500°C and kept at this temperature for 5-10 hours before being reduced to room temperature;

[0028] The furnace body is cooled at a rate of 0.2-2°C / hour.

[0029] ④ Take out the [TaSe4]2I bulk single crystal, place it in alcohol to remove the I attached to the surface, and then rinse it with deionized water;

[0030] ⑤ Mechanically exfoliate the [TaSe4]2I bulk single crystal to prepare [TaSe4]2I nanowires;

[0031] The specific process is: [TaSe4]2I bulk single crystal is transferred to Scotch tape, and then the tape is repeatedly folded and pasted. As the number of pastings increases, quasi-one-dimensional [TaSe4]2I nanowires of different thicknesses are continuously peeled off. The thinner the [TaSe4]2I nanowire, the lighter the color. As the color of the sample on the tape surface gradually becomes lighter, the bulk single crystal on the tape will be separated into thinner [TaSe4]2I nanowires.

[0032] The performance of the [TaSe₄]₂I and MoTe₂ composite device prepared using the aforementioned method was tested using a semiconductor testing system. A 440nm light source was used as the excitation light source. Under a 3V bias and a -10V gate voltage, the device demonstrated a high responsivity of 40A / W. At a -3V bias, the polarization ratio reached 3.6.

[0033] Although there are also photoelectric devices with composite structures of MoTe2 and other two-dimensional materials, their device performance is far inferior to the [TaSe4]2I and MoTe2 composite structure phototransistor detector prepared by the present invention.

[0034] The [TaSe4]2I and MoTe2 composite structure phototransistor detector of the present invention has achieved outstanding implementation results compared to other heterojunction photodetectors. Compared with photodetectors using only [TaSe4]2I, it shows higher responsivity, external quantum efficiency, detectivity, and polarization ratio (see Polarization-Sensitive Photodetector Based on Quasi-1D (TaSe4)2I Nanowire Response to 10.6μm, Adv. Funct. Mater. 2024, 34, 2315194.). Compared with photodetectors using only MoTe2, it also shows better responsivity and detectivity (see Highly sensitive visible to infrared MoTe2 photodetectors enhanced by the photogating effect, Nanotechnology 2016, 27, 445201.). Compared with other (quasi) one-dimensional / two-dimensional mixed heterojunctions (such as WS2 / 1DSb2Se3, MoS2 / 1D Ta2Pd3Se8, and MoS2 / 1D GaAsSb), the heterojunction phototransistor detector of the present invention also exhibits better sensitivity characteristics (see Direct van der Waals epitaxial growth of 1D / 2D Sb2Se3 / WS2mixed-dimensional pn heterojunctions, Nano Res. 2019, 12, 1139; Ultrafast Polarization Sensitive Photodetector Based on MoS2 / Ta2Pd3Se8Hybrid Dimensional Heterostructure, Adv. Optic. Mater. 2023, 11, 2300593; Mixed-Dimensional Anti-ambipolar Phototransistors Based on 1D GaAsSb / 2D MoS2Heterojunctions, ACS Nano 2022, 16, 11036).

[0035] Table 1 shows a comparison of the detector performance of the [TaSe4]2I and MoTe2 composite structure phototransistor detector of the present invention and other heterojunction photodetectors.

[0037]

[0038] The present invention utilizes the high carrier mobility and full-spectrum response characteristics of the quasi-one-dimensional semi-metallic material (TaSe4)2I, introduces the two-dimensional material MoTe2 to increase light absorption, and increases the carrier separation efficiency through the vertical structure of the heterojunction, thereby suppressing dark current and solving the shortcomings of single-material (TaSe4)2I photodetectors, such as large dark current and low switching ratio. Furthermore, through the back-gate phototransistor structure, the transport characteristics of channel carriers are regulated, and the photocurrent is increased to the μA level under negative gate voltage, achieving extremely high responsivity and external quantum efficiency, thereby greatly improving the sensitivity of the device and having ultra-sensitive detection capabilities. In addition, due to the improved carrier separation efficiency of the heterostructure, the polarization detection capability of the heterojunction photodetector is greatly improved.

The Si substrate 1 is a heavily doped P-type silicon wafer with a surface SiO2 thickness of 280-300nm. The [TaSe4]2I nanowire 3 has a thickness of 50-200nm, and the MoTe2 nanofilm 4 has a thickness of 30-100nm. The metal electrode 5 comprises 3-5nm of chromium and 30-50nm of gold.

The electrode pattern can be composed of three pairs of electrodes, one pair of which is designed on the (TaSe4)2I nanowire 3 (see Figure 1 A pair of electrodes in the dotted box indicated by the mark 6) and a pair of electrodes designed on the MoTe2 film 4 (see Figure 1 A pair of electrodes in the dotted box indicated by the mark 7 in FIG, one pair is designed on the (TaSe4)2I nanowire 3 and the other on the MoTe2 film 4 (see FIG. Figure 1 A pair of electrodes in the dotted box indicated by mark 8).

[0048] A two-dimensional MoTe2 nanofilm (4) is placed on one side of a (TaSe4)2I nanowire (3), creating a (TaSe4)2I / MoTe2 composite structure to suppress dark current. Silicon is used as the substrate, and SiO2 as the gate dielectric layer. Applying a gate voltage to the silicon modulates the photocurrent, thus achieving an ultra-sensitive photodetector.

[0049] The specific preparation process of the (TaSe4)2I / MoTe2 phototransistor of the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0050] Example 1

[0053] (2) Place the quartz tube in a heating furnace and heat it up in stages. First, heat it up to 120°C over 10 hours and keep it at this temperature for 15 hours. Then heat it up to 660°C over 15 hours and keep it at this temperature for 25 hours.

[0054] (3) Slowly cool the temperature to 500°C at a rate of 0.2°C / hour, during which (TaSe4)2I nucleates and grows; after maintaining the temperature for 5 hours, cool the temperature to room temperature to obtain a (TaSe4)2I bulk single crystal.

[0055] (4) After breaking the quartz tube, the (TaSe4)2I bulk single crystal was taken out and placed in ethanol to remove the raw material I attached to the surface. The resulting single crystal was then cleaned with deionized water to obtain a needle-shaped (TaSe4)2I bulk crystal with a metallic luster.

[0056] (5) Select a high-quality (TaSe4)2I bulk single crystal, then repeatedly fold and stick the tape (without removing the sample and re-sticking it).
