TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of semiconductor devices, in particular to a surface passivation method of a semiconductor functional layer in a semiconductor device and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] In semiconductor devices, especially optoelectronic devices (such as solar cells, light-emitting diodes, photodetectors), the performance limit of the device is largely restricted by the defects in the active layer material, especially the defects at the surface and interface. These defects, which are caused by atomic arrangement mismatch, stoichiometric deviation or environmental degradation during crystal growth, introduce deep or shallow level trap states in the energy gap. When photo-generated carriers (electrons and holes) or electrically injected carriers are captured by these trap states, their energy is consumed through non-radiative recombination, which not only reduces the carrier lifetime and diffusion length, but also directly leads to the deterioration of key performance indicators of the device: in photovoltaic devices, it manifests as open-circuit voltage loss, fill factor drop and ultimately photovoltaic conversion efficiency reduction; in light-emitting devices, it manifests as a sharp decrease in light-emitting efficiency and an increase in efficiency roll-off. Therefore, effective passivation treatment of the surface of the semiconductor functional layer is the key to obtaining high-performance semiconductor devices.
[0003] However, there is a fundamental contradiction between efficient passivation and efficient carrier transport: the intrinsic conductivity of the passivation material is low, and excessive passivation will reduce the transport efficiency of the carriers. Conversely, if a purely conductive transport layer is used to pursue high current, insufficient passivation will prevent the voltage potential from being released, and defect recombination will become a performance bottleneck. The existing technology usually adopts a compromise solution, such as using an extremely thin passivation layer or finding a passivation agent with certain transport capacity, but the passivation effect is often not complete or the transport capacity is still restricted. Therefore, how to achieve full and complete passivation of the semiconductor surface without sacrificing or even enhancing the transport of carriers is a major scientific problem and technical challenge that needs to be solved in the current field.

Spin coat at 500 rpm for 5 s, then spin coat at 4000 rpm for 20 s. 10 s before the end of the second spin coat step, add 120 μL of chlorobenzene / ethyl acetate (3:1, v / v) mixed solvent.

[0060] Characterization and performance testing 1. Grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXRD) tests were performed on the perovskite layers before and after the deposition of the first electron transport layer of B4PYMPM in Example 1: Figure 2 The images shown are GIXRD patterns before and after the deposition of the B4PYMPM first electron transport layer in Example 1. Figure 2 It can be seen that after the B4PYMPM first electron transport layer is deposited on the surface of the perovskite layer, the (100) diffraction peak is enhanced, indicating that the B4PYMPM thin layer can enhance the surface crystallinity of the perovskite layer.
[0061] 2. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was performed on the perovskite layers before and after the deposition of the first electron transport layer of B4PYMPM in Example 1: Figure 3 These are XPS images of the perovskite layer before and after the deposition of the B4PYMPM first electron transport layer in Example 1. Figure 3 (a) in the figure is the XPS plot of the Pb 4f core energy level in perovskite. Figure 3 (b) is the XPS plot of the Br 3d core energy level in perovskite, derived from... Figure 3It can be seen that, compared with the original perovskite layer, the Pb 4f peak and Br 3d peak after B4PYMPM deposition both shift to lower binding energies, indicating that there is an interaction between B4PYMPM and perovskite, which can passivate the surface of the perovskite layer.
[0062] 3. Characterization of electron transport layer transport capability: (1) Following the method in Example 1, a mixture containing different proportions of B4PYMPM and C was prepared. 60 The steps for forming a single-electronic device with a blended layer are as follows: 1) Using glass as a substrate, an ITO first electrode layer is deposited on the surface to obtain an ITO substrate with a total thickness of 180 nm; 2) Prepare a 15 mg / mL SnO2 nanocrystal ethanol solution, shake and filter, drop the SnO2 nanocrystal ethanol solution onto an ITO substrate, spin coat at 4000 rpm for 30 s, and anneal at 150 °C to obtain a SnO2 electron transport layer with a thickness of 15 nm. 3) Accurately weigh 0.13747 g of formamidinium hydrobromide (FABr), 0.36701 g of lead bromide, 0.0044 g of 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphocholine, 0.84 mL of dimethyl sulfoxide, and 0.16 mL of N,N-dimethylformamide and place them in a glass bottle. Shake at room temperature for 3 h to obtain a perovskite precursor solution. After filtration, drop the solution onto the SnO2 electron transport layer. First, spin coat at 500 rpm for 5 s, then spin coat at 4000 rpm for 20 s. 10 s before the end of the second spin coat step, add 120 μL of chlorobenzene / ethyl acetate (3:1, v / v) mixed solvent. Anneal at 90 °C for 10 min to obtain a FAPbBr3 perovskite layer with a thickness of 270 nm. 4) A 6nm thick B4PYMPM first electron transport layer was deposited layer by layer on the FAPbBr3 perovskite layer using vacuum thermal evaporation, followed by a 5nm thick B4PYMPM layer: C 60 Hybrid layer, 20nm thick C 60 A second electron transport layer and a 6nm thick BCP third electron transport layer form the second electronic structure electron transport layer, wherein B4PYMPM and C are mixed in the hybrid layer. 60 The mass ratios are 1:2, 1:1, 2:1, and 3:1, respectively; 5) A 100 nm thick Ag second electrode layer was deposited on the surface of the electron transport layer by vacuum thermal evaporation to obtain a perovskite single-electron device.
[0063] In steps 4) and 5), the vacuum degree of the vacuum thermal evaporation method is 1×10⁻⁶. -6 Pa, evaporation rate is 0.5 nm / s.
[0064] (2) Referring to the method in Comparative Example 2, single-electron devices containing B4PYMPM first electron transport layers of different thicknesses were prepared, and the steps are as follows: 1) Using glass as a substrate, an ITO first electrode layer is deposited on the surface to obtain an ITO substrate with a total thickness of 180 nm; 2) Prepare a 15 mg / mL SnO2 nanocrystal ethanol solution, shake and filter, drop the SnO2 nanocrystal ethanol solution onto an ITO substrate, spin coat at 4000 rpm for 30 s, and anneal at 150 °C to obtain a SnO2 electron transport layer with a thickness of 15 nm. 3) Accurately weigh 0.13747 g of formamidinium hydrobromide (FABr), 0.36701 g of lead bromide, 0.0044 g of 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphocholine, 0.84 mL of dimethyl sulfoxide, and 0.16 mL of N,N-dimethylformamide and place them in a glass bottle. Shake at room temperature for 3 h to obtain a perovskite precursor solution. After filtration, drop the solution onto the SnO2 electron transport layer. First, spin coat at 500 rpm for 5 s, then spin coat at 4000 rpm for 20 s. 10 s before the end of the second spin coat step, add 120 μL of chlorobenzene / ethyl acetate (3:1, v / v) mixed solvent. Anneal at 90 °C for 10 min to obtain a FAPbBr3 perovskite layer with a thickness of 270 nm. 4) A B4PYMPM first electron transport layer and a 20nm thick C layer were deposited layer by layer on the FAPbBr3 perovskite layer using a vacuum thermal evaporation method. 60 The second electron transport layer and the 6nm thick BCP third electron transport layer form the first electronic structure electron transport layer, wherein the thicknesses of the B4PYMPM first electron transport layer are 0nm, 1nm, 3nm, 6nm, 10nm and 21nm respectively. 5) A 100 nm thick Ag second electrode layer was deposited on the surface of the electron transport layer by vacuum thermal evaporation to obtain a perovskite single-electron device.
[0065] In steps 4) and 5), the vacuum degree of the vacuum thermal evaporation method is 1×10⁻⁶. -6 Pa, evaporation rate is 0.5 nm / s.
[0066] The single-electron device prepared above was tested using the space charge-confined current method. Figure 4 The current-voltage curves of single-electron devices containing B4PYMPM first electron transport layers of varying thicknesses are given by... Figure 4 It can be seen that when the thickness of the first electron transport layer of B4PYMPM is greater than 6nm, the current drops significantly, which will seriously affect the electron transport. This indicates that the pure passivation material itself is a poor electron conductor, and its thickness will seriously hinder electron transport. Figure 5 For those containing different proportions of B4PYMPM and C 60The current-voltage curve of the single-electron device formed by the blend layer is derived from... Figure 5 It can be seen that the introduction of the blend layer and the change in the ratio of electron transport material to defect passivation material in the blend layer did not have a significant impact on the current, indicating that the introduction of the blend layer did not sacrifice electron transport capability.
[0067] The defect-filling voltage of single-electron devices with different electron transport layer structures was extracted from the space charge-confined current test results. The defect-filling voltage reflects the defect concentration in the perovskite thin film; the smaller the defect-filling voltage, the lower the defect concentration in the perovskite thin film. Figure 6 To determine the defect-filling voltage of single-electron devices with different electron transport layer structures, by Figure 6 It can be seen that the defect filling voltage decreases with increasing B4PYMPM thickness, further demonstrating the passivation effect of B4PYMPM on the perovskite layer; after introducing the blend layer, the defect filling voltage decreases with increasing proportion of B4PYMPM in the blend layer, and the voltage decreases further with increasing proportion of B4PYMPM in the blend layer. 60 When the mass ratio is 2:1, the mixture is close to saturation, indicating that the introduction of the blend layer can also passivate the perovskite layer.
[0068] The above results show that B4PYMPM can passivate the perovskite layer. However, due to its poor carrier transport capability, the thickness of the B4PYMPM layer needs to be increased to achieve sufficient passivation of the perovskite layer, which affects the carrier transport in the device. The introduction of the blend layer can achieve sufficient passivation of the perovskite surface while maintaining good carrier transport capability, which can effectively solve the contradiction between carrier transport and passivation in the device, and thus obtain a high-performance device.
[0069] 4. The photovoltaic and electroluminescence performance of the perovskite photoelectric conversion devices prepared in Example 1, Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 were tested under the conditions of a solar simulator with an illumination intensity of AM1.5G.

Figure 7 It can be seen that the open-circuit voltage of the perovskite photoelectric conversion device in Example 1 is 1.79V, and the short-circuit current density is 8.16mA / cm². 2 The fill factor was 70.03%, and the photoelectric conversion efficiency was 10.21%. In Comparative Example 1, the open-circuit voltage of the perovskite photoelectric conversion device was 1.15V, and the short-circuit current density was 8.39mA / cm². 2 The fill factor was 71.83%, and the photoelectric conversion efficiency was 6.92%. In Comparative Example 2, the perovskite photoelectric conversion device had an open-circuit voltage of 1.69V and a short-circuit current density of 7.56mA / cm².2 The fill factor was 67.30%, and the photoelectric conversion efficiency was 8.60%. Compared with Comparative Example 1, Example 1 showed an increase in open-circuit voltage from 1.15V to 1.79V and a photoelectric conversion efficiency from 6.92% to 10.21%, indicating that the blended layer strategy brought excellent passivation effect and significantly reduced non-radiative recombination voltage loss. Compared with Comparative Example 2, Example 1 showed a further increase in open-circuit voltage from 1.69V to 1.79V and a further increase in photoelectric conversion efficiency from 8.60% to 10.21%, indicating that the blended layer, compared with the double-layer structure, can provide stronger passivation while completely avoiding current and fill factor losses caused by inserting a pure passivation layer.
[0071] Figure 8 The figures show the brightness-current curves of the perovskite photoelectric conversion devices in Example 1, Comparative Example 1, and Comparative Example 2. Figure 9 The external quantum efficiency-current curves of the perovskite photoelectric conversion devices in Example 1, Comparative Example 1, and Comparative Example 2 are shown. Figure 10 The electroluminescence spectra of the perovskite photoelectric conversion device in Example 1 at different voltages are obtained from... Figures 8-10 It can be seen that the maximum electroluminescence brightness of the perovskite photoelectric conversion device in Example 1 is 365989 cd / m². 2 The maximum external quantum efficiency is 10.14%; the maximum electroluminescence luminance of the perovskite photoelectric conversion device in Comparative Example 1 is 1682 cd / m². 2 The maximum external quantum efficiency is 0.03%; the maximum electroluminescence luminance of the perovskite photoelectric conversion device in Comparative Example 2 is 161010 cd / m². 2 The maximum external quantum efficiency is 6.31%. In Example 1, the perovskite photoelectric conversion device exhibits a stable emission spectrum under different voltages, with a peak at 542 nm. The device in Example 1 achieves a high efficiency of 365989 cd / m³. 2 The brightness and external quantum efficiency of 10.14% far exceed those of the two comparative examples, proving that the blended layer structure greatly optimizes the electrical injection and radiative recombination process. Moreover, the peak position and shape of the emission spectrum are very stable under different driving voltages, proving that the introduction of the blended layer does not introduce new defects or interfaces that lead to spectral instability or phase separation, and the device works reliably.
