[0040] In some embodiments, forming an absorption layer on a molybdenum back electrode includes placing a sample having a molybdenum back electrode in an MBE vacuum coating chamber, and controlling the vacuum range to be 1×10 -5 Pa~1×10 -4 Pa, the temperature of Cu, Cd, Zn, Sn, Se, Ag, and NaF sources were adjusted. The ACCZTSe absorption layer was first deposited on the sample by co-evaporation with sources other than NaF for 20 minutes. After 6.5 minutes of growth, the NaF source was turned on and continued to grow for 11.5 minutes (NaF was about 30nm long). When the last 2 minutes were left, the NaF source was turned off to finally obtain the precursor. After the film deposition was completed, annealing heat treatment was performed to obtain the ACCZTSe absorption layer. It should be noted that by adjusting the different temperatures of the Ag source, different precursor samples with Ag / (Ag+Cu) ratios of 0.12 to 0.16 were obtained.

[0041] In some embodiments, the step of annealing the precursor to obtain the ACCZTSe absorption layer specifically includes the following steps: placing the above-mentioned precursor into an annealing furnace, placing the precursor in the annealing furnace, and introducing 2.5kPaH2Se and 50kPaN2 after evacuating the air.

[0043] Figure 2 FIG1 is a flow chart of a method for manufacturing an ACCZTSe short-wave infrared photodetector according to an embodiment of the present invention, which includes the following steps S110 to S180 , and the implementation of each step is described in detail below.

[0044] In the following specific examples, the n-type layer is a CdS buffer layer, the window layer is an intrinsic zinc oxide / Al-doped zinc oxide window layer, and the surface electrode is a Ni / Al / Ni electrode. A molybdenum layer is deposited on a silicon wafer by magnetron sputtering to form a molybdenum back electrode. The CdS buffer layer is grown in a chemical bath. The intrinsic zinc oxide / Al-doped zinc oxide window layer is grown by magnetron sputtering. The Ni / Al / Ni electrode is formed using electron beam evaporation.

[0045] In step S110 , the silicon wafer substrate is first cleaned.

[0046] Specifically, prepare a 4-inch silicon wafer, ultrasonicate it with acetone, ethanol, and deionized water for 3 minutes respectively, then soak it in 2% hydrofluoric acid in a fume hood for 1 hour, and then observe whether there is any residual water on the surface of the silicon wafer. It is best if the water droplets slide down due to gravity without any residue. Finally, ultrasonicate it with deionized water and ethanol for 3 minutes respectively, and blow it dry.

[0047] In step S120 , the clean silicon wafer substrate is patterned.

[0048] Specifically, a cleaned silicon wafer is placed on the spin coater turntable, a negative photoresist is applied to the wafer, the spin coater is turned on, and the negative photoresist is evenly applied. After spin coating, a pre-bake treatment is performed for 30 seconds. After baking, the sample is exposed to ultraviolet light under the photolithography machine for 20 seconds, followed by a post-bake treatment for 60 seconds. The sample is then placed in a developer for 20 seconds, followed by an etchant for 30 seconds. Finally, the sample is placed in an acetone solution to remove the negative photoresist, ultimately obtaining a grid patterned structure. The patterned silicon wafer is then immersed in a strong acid solution to remove the oxide layer on the surface of the silicon wafer.

[0049] In step S130, a Mo back electrode is plated on the patterned silicon wafer.

[0050] The specific operation is as follows: Place the patterned silicon wafer in a vacuum chamber and pump the air to 2.0×10 -3Pa, pass 40kPa of argon, adjust the gas pressure to 0.5kPa, ignite at 120W, pre-sputter for 15 minutes, gradually increase to 160w during the period, pass 4kPa of oxygen after pre-sputtering, open the baffle, sputter for 5.5 hours, then take it out, soak it in acetone for 15 minutes, then ultrasonicate for 6 minutes, rinse with acetone, put it in anhydrous ethanol for 6 minutes, rinse with anhydrous ethanol, blow off the anhydrous ethanol with nitrogen, and a Mo back electrode with a thickness of 800nm ​​is obtained.

[0051] In step S140 , an absorption layer is grown on the Mo back electrode.

[0052] Specifically, the multi-source co-evaporation growth method was used to prepare ACCZTSe precursors with four different Ag / (Ag+Cu) ratios, namely 0 (undoped control group), 0.12, 0.14, and 0.16. After the sample with Mo back electrode was placed in the MBE vacuum coating chamber, the vacuum range was controlled at 1×10 -5 Pa~1×10 -4 Pa, first open the source except NaF on the sample to co-evaporate and deposit the ACCZTSe absorption layer for 20 minutes. After growing for 6.5 minutes, open the NaF source and continue to grow for 11.5 minutes (NaF is about 30nm long). When the last 2 minutes are left, turn off the NaF source. Adjust and fix the temperatures of Cu, Cd, Zn, Sn, and Se sources to 1188℃, 272℃, 350℃, 1174℃, and 259℃ respectively. By adjusting the different temperatures of the Ag source to 896℃, 903℃, and 910℃ respectively, different precursor samples with silver content and silver plus copper content ratio Ag / (Ag+Cu) of 0.12, 0.14, and 0.16 were obtained; by turning off the Ag source and following the same procedure as above, an undoped precursor sample was obtained.

[0053] After obtaining the precursor, the precursors with silver element content and silver plus copper element content ratios Ag / (Ag+Cu) of 0, 0.12, 0.14, and 0.16, respectively, were placed in an annealing furnace. After the air was evacuated, 2.5kPa H2Se and 50kPaN2 were introduced. In the first stage, the precursors were heated from 25°C to 310°C for 15min, and annealed at 310°C for 60min with 5% hydrogen selenide; in the second stage, the precursors were heated from 310°C to 420°C for 15min, and annealed at 420°C for 60min with 5% hydrogen selenide; then the temperature was lowered and the gas was evacuated when it was cooled to 300°C, and the ACCZTSe absorption layer was obtained after cooling was completed.

[0054] In step S150 , CdS (n-type layer) is deposited on the ACCZTSe absorption layer using a chemical water bath method.

[0055] Specifically, the prepared reaction solution was poured into the center of a glass container and stirred evenly. The reaction temperature was controlled at 67.5°C and the growth time was 9.5 minutes, depositing an n-type layer approximately 50 nm thick on the absorber layer. After the n-type layer was deposited, it was rinsed with deionized water, dried with nitrogen, and placed in a 120°C constant temperature oven for 2 minutes.

[0056] In step S160, an i-ZnO / AZO window layer is magnetron sputtered on the n-type layer.

[0057] The specific operation is to place the obtained sample in a vacuum i-ZnO / AZO sputtering chamber, introduce Ar and O2, start i-ZnO at 120W, sputter for 4 rounds, adjust the power to 220W, sputter for 4 rounds, and then adjust the power to 350W for 16 rounds; turn off O2, introduce H2, start AZO at 120W, pre-sputter at 500W for 15 minutes, and sputter for 10 rounds at 500W to obtain a window layer i-ZnO / AZO.

[0058] In step S170, a Ni / Al / Ni electrode is formed on the window layer.

[0059] The specific operation is to move the above samples into the electron beam coating chamber and control the vacuum range to 1×10 -3 Pa~1×10 -2 Pa, a surface electrode was prepared on the transparent conductive window layer by high vacuum thermal evaporation, and Ni / Al / Ni surface electrodes were uniformly evaporated in sequence according to the pattern through a mask with an electrode pattern. The first layer of Ni had a thickness of 100nm, the Al had a thickness of 1000nm, and the last layer of Ni had a thickness of 100nm, resulting in a surface electrode with a thickness of about 1000nm.

[0060] In step S180, the device is finally divided into a device array by wet photolithography.

[0061] The specific operation is as follows: the surface of the above-grown functional layer is spin-coated with negative photoresist, pre-baked for 20 seconds, exposed, post-baked for 60 seconds, developed for 20 seconds, etched with hydrochloric acid solution for 40 seconds, and then de-bonded with acetone to form multiple devices on a four-inch silicon wafer. The device size is 2.5mm×2.5mm.

Figure 4The corresponding external quantum efficiency graph is shown below. The results show that the silver-doped device has lower dark current than the undoped device and higher external quantum efficiency than the undoped device. Specifically, the device with a silver content and a silver-to-copper ratio (Ag / (Ag+Cu)) of 0.12 significantly reduces dark current, achieves the highest external quantum efficiency (approximately 85%), and achieves the best performance.
