Form a second passivation layer 9 on the upper surface of the anode transparent ohmic contact 6 in each photosensitive window 4, and form a cathode metal electrode 10 on the lower surface of the cathode transparent ohmic contact 7 to obtain a completed SiC / Ga2O3 heterojunction single-photon ultraviolet detector.
[0043] like Figures 2-3 As shown, in step S1, the step of preparing a device functional layer 1 and forming a mesa structure 2 with an inclination angle by etching includes:
[0044] S101, providing a P+ type SiC substrate 101;
[0045] S102, sequentially growing a P+ type SiC epitaxial layer 102, an n- type Ga2O3 epitaxial layer 103 and an n+ type Ga2O3 epitaxial layer 104 on one side surface of a P+ type SiC substrate 101 to form a device functional layer 1;
[0046] S103, etching the p+ type SiC epitaxial layer 102, the n- type Ga2O3 epitaxial layer 103 and the n+ type Ga2O3 epitaxial layer 104 to form a mesa structure 2 with an inclination angle, wherein the inclination angle α is 70° to 80°.
[0047] Specifically, in step S1, the device functional layer 1 is first prepared: a P+ type SiC epitaxial layer 102, an n-type Ga2O3 epitaxial layer and an n+ type Ga2O3 epitaxial layer are sequentially grown on a P+ type SiC substrate 101, wherein the thickness of the P+ type SiC substrate 101 is 350 μm and the doping concentration is 5×10 18 cm -3 The thickness of the P+ type SiC epitaxial layer 102 is 1-2 μm and the doping concentration is 5×10 16 ~1×10 17 cm -3 The thickness of the n-type Ga2O3 epitaxial layer 103 is 8 to 10 μm and the doping concentration is 5×1015 ~8×10 15 cm -3 The thickness of the n+ type Ga2O3 epitaxial layer 104 is 0.8 to 1 μm, and the doping concentration is 1×10 18 ~5×10 18 cm -3 .

[0049] like Figure 4 As shown, in step S2, alkaline earth doped silicon oxide with a thickness of 500-1000 nm is deposited on the upper surface of the mesa structure 2 by using LPCVD (Low pressure chemical vapor deposition) process to form a first passivation layer 3.
[0050] In this embodiment, the distance between the bottom of each photosensitive window 4 and the lower surface of the n+-type Ga2O3 epitaxial layer is 100 nm, the width of the photosensitive window 4 is 500-800 nm, and the interval between two adjacent photosensitive windows 4 is 500-800 nm.
[0051] See also Figure 5 When making the photosensitive window, the first passivation layer 3 and at least part of the n+ type Ga2O3 epitaxial layer are opened by etching process. In the direction perpendicular to the plane where the P+ type SiC substrate 101 is located, the orthographic projection of the photosensitive window 4 can be a hexagon, a circle, etc. It should be noted that this embodiment only uses Figures 5 to 10 Taking the three photosensitive windows 4 shown as an example, in fact, the present application does not limit the number and shape of the photosensitive windows 4, as long as the width of the photosensitive window 4 is 500-800nm and the interval between two adjacent photosensitive windows 4 is 500-800nm.
[0052] In this embodiment, the material of the first passivation layer 3 includes alkaline earth doped silicon oxide. Figures 6-7 As shown, in step S4, after Ni / Au metal 5 is deposited on the upper surface and the lower surface of the device respectively, the ohmic contact self-alignment is performed by using a rapid thermal annealing process, and then the ohmic contact is transparentized by using a liquid medicine to form an anode transparent ohmic contact 6 in each photosensitive window 4 and a cathode transparent ohmic contact 7 on the lower surface of the device, and at the same time, the residual metal on the first passivation layer 3 is washed away, and the first passivation layer 3 after the annealing reaction is reflowed to form a moth-eye array, comprising:
[0053] S401, using electron beam evaporation or magnetron sputtering process, depositing Ni / Au metal 5 on the upper surface and lower surface of the device respectively, and using rapid thermal annealing process to perform ohmic contact self-alignment;
[0054] S402, using a liquid medicine to perform ohmic contact transparency treatment on the annealed device, forming an anode transparent ohmic contact 6 in each photosensitive window 4, forming a cathode transparent ohmic contact 7 on the lower surface of the device, and washing away the Ni / Au metal 5 remaining on the surface of the first passivation layer 3, so that the first passivation layer 3 after annealing reaction flows back to form a moth-eye array; the liquid medicine includes nitric acid, BOE (Buffered Oxide Etch) and deionized water in a volume ratio of 1:1:5.
[0055] Specifically, in steps S401 to S402, Ni / Au metal 5 with a thickness of 150 / 50 nm is deposited on the upper and lower surfaces of the device by electron beam evaporation or magnetron sputtering process, and then ohmic contact self-alignment is performed by rapid thermal annealing process, and then Ni / SiC ohmic contact transparency treatment is performed by liquid medicine to form anode transparent ohmic contact 6 and cathode transparent ohmic contact 7. In this process, the residual metal on the surface of the first passivation layer 3 will be washed away, and since the material of the first passivation layer 3 includes alkaline earth doped silicon oxide, the first passivation layer after annealing reaction can be reflowed into a moth-eye array (i.e. Figure 7 The hemispherical structure in the moth-eye array changes the light path through the moth-eye array, reduces light reflection, increases light refraction and transmission, and obtains light anti-reflection and anti-transmission capabilities, which is beneficial to improving the light efficiency of the device and further improving the photoelectric detection performance of the single-photon ultraviolet detector.
[0056] In addition, this embodiment uses alkaline earth doped silicon oxide as a mask to implement a metal self-alignment process, which can retain a three-dimensional anti-reflection passivation structure when forming a metal electrode on the upper surface, thereby enhancing the performance of the device.
[0057] like Figure 8 As shown, in step S5, the step of forming an anode metal electrode 8 on the upper surface of the anode transparent ohmic contact 6 located on the side wall of each photosensitive window 4 includes:
[0058] S501, depositing Al metal with a thickness of 500 to 1000 nm on the upper surface of the device;
[0059] S502 , forming an anode metal electrode 8 on the upper surface of the anode transparent ohmic contact 6 located on the side wall of each photosensitive window 4 through etching and corrosion processes.
[0060] like Fig. 9 As shown, in step S6, the material of the second passivation layer 9 includes Si y Nx , x and y represent the components of N and Si respectively, where x is 1 to 3 and y is 2 to 4. y N x It has a high transmittance to the detection light, so it can reduce light reflection to a certain extent. At the same time, it can serve as a second passivation layer to effectively reduce leakage on the device surface and improve light utilization.
[0061] Furthermore, if Fig.10 As shown, the step of forming a cathode metal electrode 10 on the lower surface of the cathode transparent ohmic contact 7 includes:
[0062] By using an electron beam evaporation process, Ti / Ni / Ag metals with a thickness of 200nm / 200nm / 1000nm are deposited on the lower surface of the cathode transparent ohmic contact 7 to form a cathode metal electrode 10.
[0063] It should be understood that after the detection light enters the SiC / Ga2O3 heterojunction single-photon ultraviolet detector, part of the light is absorbed and utilized by the device, and the other part is emitted from the bottom of the device. In this embodiment, after Ti / Ni / Ag metal is deposited on the lower surface of the cathode transparent ohmic contact, since metal Ag has a high reflectivity, it can be used as a back reflection layer to reflect at least part of the light back into the device, thereby improving light utilization.
[0064] Please continue to see Fig.10 The embodiment of the present invention also provides a SiC / Ga2O3 heterojunction single-photon ultraviolet detector, which is prepared by the above-mentioned preparation method of the SiC / Ga2O3 heterojunction single-photon ultraviolet detector.
[0065] It can be seen from the above embodiments that the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0066] (1) The prior art uses only a single silicon carbide material as the light absorption layer during preparation, and the single material has only one characteristic response peak. The present invention introduces gallium oxide during the preparation of the single-photon ultraviolet detector, which can broaden the wavelength range of the device and solve the problem of poor device performance caused by using a single SiC to prepare the single-photon ultraviolet detector. At the same time, it simplifies the preparation process without adding additional optical management processes.
[0067] (2) The material of the first passivation layer in the present invention includes alkaline earth doped silicon oxide. Therefore, after annealing, the first passivation layer can be reflowed into a moth-eye array, thereby obtaining light reduction and reflection enhancement capability, which is beneficial to improving the photoelectric detection performance of the single-photon ultraviolet detector.
