Description

Alloy material with quantum well energy level structure, preparation method and semiconductor device
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of quantum dots, in particular to an alloy material with a quantum well energy level structure, a preparation method and a semiconductor device.
Background
The quantum dot is a special material which is limited to the nanometer order of magnitude in three dimensions, and the remarkable quantum confinement effect enables the quantum dot to have a plurality of unique nanometer properties: the emission wavelength is continuously adjustable, the light-emitting wavelength is narrow, the absorption spectrum is wide, the light-emitting intensity is high, the fluorescence lifetime is long, the biocompatibility is good, and the like. The characteristics enable the quantum dots to have wide application prospects in the fields of flat panel display, solid-state illumination, photovoltaic solar energy, biological markers and the like. Especially in the application of flat panel display, Quantum dot light-emitting diode (QLED) devices based on Quantum dot materials have shown great potential in the aspects of display image quality, device performance, manufacturing cost, etc. by virtue of the characteristics and optimization of Quantum dot nanomaterials. Although the performance of the QLED device in various aspects is improved in recent years, the gap between the basic device performance parameters such as device efficiency and device operation stability is still comparable to the requirement of industrial application, which also greatly hinders the development and application of the quantum dot electroluminescent display technology. In addition, not only the QLED device, but also in other fields, the characteristics of the quantum dot material relative to the conventional materials are being emphasized, for example, a photoluminescent device, a solar cell, a display device, a photodetector, a biological probe, a nonlinear optical device, and the like, and the following description will be given only by taking the QLED device as an example.
Although quantum dots have been researched and developed as a classical nanomaterial for more than 30 years, research time for utilizing the excellent light emitting characteristics of quantum dots and applying the quantum dots as a light emitting material in QLED devices and corresponding display technologies is still short; therefore, at present, most of the developments and researches of the QLED devices are based on the quantum dot materials of the existing classical structural systems, and the screening and optimization criteria of the corresponding quantum dot materials are still basically based on the self-luminescence properties of the quantum dots, such as the luminescence peak width of the quantum dots, the solution quantum yield and the like. The quantum dots are directly applied to the QLED device structure so as to obtain corresponding device performance results.
However, as a set of complex optoelectronic device systems, the QLED device and the corresponding display technology have many factors that affect the performance of the device. Starting with quantum dot materials as core light-emitting layer materials alone, the quantum dot performance index required for balancing is much more complex.
Firstly, quantum dots exist in a form of a solid film of a quantum dot light emitting layer in a QLED device, so that various luminescent performance parameters originally obtained in a solution of a quantum dot material show obvious differences after the solid film is formed: for example, the emission peak wavelength in the solid thin film is red-shifted (shifted to a long wavelength), the emission peak width is increased, and the quantum yield is reduced to various degrees, that is, the excellent emission performance of the quantum dot material in the solution cannot be completely inherited to the quantum dot solid thin film of the QLED device. Therefore, when the structure and the synthesis formula of the quantum dot material are designed and optimized, the optimization of the luminous performance of the quantum dot material and the inheritance maximization of the luminous performance of the quantum dot material in a solid thin film state need to be considered at the same time.
And secondly, the light emission of the quantum dot material in the QLED device is realized by electric excitation, namely holes and electrons are respectively injected from the anode and the cathode of the QLED device through electrification, and the holes and the electrons are transmitted through corresponding functional layers in the QLED device and are recombined in a quantum dot light-emitting layer, and then photons are emitted in a radiation transition mode, so that the light emission is realized. From the above process, it can be seen that the light emitting performance of the quantum dot itself, such as the light emitting efficiency, only affects the efficiency of the radiative transition in the above process, and the overall light emitting efficiency of the QLED device is also affected by the charge injection and transport efficiency of the holes and electrons in the quantum dot material, the relative charge balance of the holes and electrons in the quantum dot material, the recombination region of the holes and electrons in the quantum dot material, and the like. Therefore, when designing and optimizing the structure of the quantum dot material, especially the fine core-shell nanostructure of the quantum dot, the electrical properties of the quantum dot after forming the solid film need to be considered in an important way: such as charge injection and conduction properties of the quantum dots, fine band structure of the quantum dots, exciton lifetime of the quantum dots, and the like.
Finally, considering that QLED devices and corresponding display technologies will not be prepared by solution methods, such as inkjet printing, which have great production cost advantages in the future, material design and development of quantum dots requires consideration of the processability of quantum dot solutions, such as the dispersibility and solubility of quantum dot solutions or printing inks, colloidal stability, print film forming properties, and the like. Meanwhile, the development of quantum dot materials is coordinated with other functional layer materials of the QLED device and the overall preparation process flow and requirements of the device.
In a word, the conventional quantum dot structure design only considering the improvement of the self-luminous performance of the quantum dot cannot meet the comprehensive requirements of the QLED device and the corresponding display technology on the quantum dot material in various aspects such as optical performance, electrical performance, processing performance and the like. The fine core-shell structure, components, energy level and the like of the quantum dot luminescent material need to be customized according to the requirements of the QLED device and the corresponding display technology.
Due to the high surface atomic ratio of the quantum dots, atoms that do not form non-covalent bonds (Dangling bonds) with surface ligands (Ligand) will exist in a surface defect state that will cause transitions in non-radiative pathways such that the luminescent quantum yield of the quantum dots is greatly reduced. In order to solve the problem, a semiconductor shell layer containing another semiconductor material can be grown on the surface of the outer layer of the original quantum dot to form a core-shell structure of the quantum dot, so that the luminous performance of the quantum dot can be obviously improved, and the stability of the quantum dot is improved.
The quantum dot material applicable to the development of the high-performance QLED device is mainly a quantum dot with a core-shell structure, wherein the core and the shell components are respectively fixed, and the core-shell structure has a definite boundary, such as the quantum dot with a CdSe/ZnS core-shell structure (J. Phys. chem., 1996, 100 (2), 468-. In these quantum dots of the core-shell structure, generally speaking, the composition components of the core and the shell are fixed and different, and are generally a binary compound system composed of one kind of cation and one kind of anion. In this structure, since the growth of the core and the shell is independently and separately performed, the boundary between the core and the shell is definite, i.e., the core and the shell can be distinguished. The development of the core-shell structure quantum dot improves the luminous quantum efficiency, monodispersity and quantum dot stability of the original single-component quantum dot.
Although the quantum dot performance of the quantum dot with the core-shell structure is partially improved, the luminescent performance is still to be improved from the design idea and the optimization scheme or based on the aspect of improving the luminous efficiency of the quantum dot, and in addition, the special requirements of the semiconductor device on other aspects of the quantum dot material are not comprehensively considered.
Therefore, the above-described technology is yet to be improved and developed.

Detailed Description
The present invention provides an alloy material having a quantum well energy level structure, a method for manufacturing the same, and a semiconductor device, and the present invention will be described in further detail below in order to make the objects, technical solutions, and effects of the present invention clearer and clearer. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
The alloy material of the quantum well energy level structure comprises N structural units which are sequentially arranged in the radial direction, wherein N is more than or equal to 1;
the structural unit is a gradually-changed alloy component structure with wider energy level width towards the outside in the radial direction;
the energy levels of adjacent building blocks are discontinuous.
The energy level structure of the alloy material is shown in fig. 1, namely the alloy material is formed by sequentially arranging a plurality of structural units in a mutation mode, and the structural units are all gradient alloy component structures with wider energy level widths towards the outside in the radial direction. In the following embodiments, the energy level structure of such quantum dots is referred to as a quantum well energy level structure. The radial direction herein refers to a direction outward from the center of the alloy material, for example, if the alloy material of the present invention has a spherical or spherical-like structure, the radial direction refers to a direction along a radius, the center of the alloy material refers to the center of its physical structure, and the surface of the alloy material refers to the surface of its physical structure.
In the alloy material, the energy level widths of the adjacent structural units are discontinuous, namely the energy level widths of the adjacent structural units have the characteristic of discontinuous change, namely the energy level widths have the characteristic of mutation, namely the synthetic components of the alloy material also have the characteristic of mutation. In addition, the structural units may be arranged in sequence in unit groups, for example, from the center to the surface, the structural units in the first group, the structural units in the second group, the structural units in the third group … are in sequence, the number of the structural units in each group may be the same or different, and the energy levels of the adjacent structural units in each group are continuous, that is, the structure of the graded alloy composition is formed. However, the energy levels of the adjacent groups of structural units are not continuous, and thus, an abrupt structure is formed.
Further, in the alloy material, the energy level width of the structural unit near the center is smaller than the energy level width of the structural unit far from the center. That is, in the alloy material, the energy level width from the center to the surface is gradually widened, so as to form a funnel-type structure with a discontinuous opening gradually enlarged, where the gradual enlargement of the opening refers to a variation trend of the energy level width in a direction from the center of the alloy material to the surface of the alloy material in the energy level structure shown in fig. 1, and in the following embodiment, the energy level structure of the quantum dot is referred to as a quantum well energy level structure. Of course, the alloy material is not limited to the above manner, that is, the energy level width of the structural unit far from the center may be smaller than that of the structural unit near the center, and in this structure, the energy level widths of the adjacent structural units overlap with each other.
Specifically, the structural unit comprises group II and group VI elements, i.e., the structural unit is a graded alloy composition structure comprising group II and group VI elements. The group II elements include, but are not limited to, Zn, Cd, Hg, Cn, and the like. The group VI elements include, but are not limited to, O, S, Se, Te, Po, Lv, and the like.
The alloy component of the structural unit is CdxZn1-xSeyS1-yWherein x is not less than 0 and not more than 1, y is not less than 0 and not more than 1, and x and y are not 0 and not 1 at the same time. For example, Cd as the alloy component at a certain point0.5Zn0.5Se0.5S0.5And the other alloy component is Cd0.3Zn0.7Se0.4S0.6
In the structural unit, the alloy component of the point A is Cdx AZn1-x ASey AS1-y AThe alloy component at the B point is Cdx BZn1- x BSey BS1-y BWherein the point A is closer to the center of the alloy material than the point B, and the compositions of the point A and the point B meet the following conditions:x Ax By Ay B. That is, for any two points in the structural unit, point A and point B, and point A is closer to the center of the alloy material than point B, thenx Ax By Ay BThat is, the Cd content at the point A is greater than that at the point B, the Zn content at the point A is less than that at the point B, and the Se content at the point A is largeThe Se content at the B site is smaller than the S content at the A site. Thus, in the structural unit, a graded structure is formed in the radial direction, and since the Cd and Se contents are lower and the Zn and S contents are higher the further outward (i.e., away from the center of the alloy material) in the radial direction, the energy level width thereof will be wider according to the characteristics of these elements.
The structural unit comprises 2-20 monoatomic layers. I.e. each building block comprises 2-20 monoatomic layers. Preferably 2 monoatomic layers to 5 monoatomic layers, and the preferred number of layers can ensure that the quantum dots realize good luminous quantum yield and high charge injection efficiency.
Further, each monoatomic layer is a minimum structural unit, that is, the alloy components of the monoatomic layer of each layer are fixed.
Preferably, an abrupt structure is formed between two monoatomic layers interfacing adjacent structural units in the radial direction, i.e. an abrupt alloy composition structure is formed, i.e. the energy level widths of the two monoatomic layers at the interface of the two structural units are not continuous, but abrupt, so that the energy level profile of the entire alloy material forms an intermittent profile.
Alternatively, each structural unit comprises 1-10 layers of unit cells, for example 2-5 layers of unit cells. The unit cell layers are the smallest structural units, i.e., the alloy composition of the unit cell layers of each layer is fixed, i.e., each unit cell layer has the same lattice parameter and elements. Each structural unit is a closed unit cell curved surface formed by connecting unit cell layers, but an abrupt structure is formed between two unit cell layers at the boundary of the adjacent structural units in the radial direction, namely an abrupt alloy component structure is formed, namely, the energy levels of the two unit cell layers at the boundary of the two structural units are not continuous but abrupt, so that the energy level curve of the whole alloy material forms an intermittent curve.
That is, the alloy material of the present invention is an alloy composition structure having a discontinuity in the radial direction from the inside to the outside. The quantum dot structure has the characteristic of discontinuous change along the radial direction from inside to outside in the composition; correspondingly, the energy level distribution also has the characteristic of discontinuous change along the radial direction from inside to outside; compared with the relation between quantum dot core and shell with definite boundary, the alloy material of the invention is not only beneficial to realizing more efficient luminous efficiency, but also can meet the comprehensive performance requirement of QLED devices and corresponding display technologies on alloy materials, and is an ideal quantum dot luminous material suitable for QLED devices and display technologies.
The invention adopts the alloy material with the structure, the luminous quantum yield range can be realized to be 1-100%, the preferred luminous quantum yield range is 30-100%, and the preferred luminous quantum yield range can ensure the good applicability of the quantum dots.
By adopting the alloy material with the structure, the luminous peak wavelength range can be 400-700 nm, the preferable luminous peak wavelength range is 430-660 nm, and the preferable quantum dot luminous peak wavelength range can ensure that the luminous quantum yield of the alloy material is more than 30% in the range.
In the invention, the half-height peak width of the luminous peak of the alloy material is 12 to 80 nanometers.
The alloy material provided by the invention has the following beneficial effects: firstly, the method is beneficial to reducing the lattice tension among quantum dot crystals with different alloy components to the maximum extent and relieving the lattice mismatch, thereby reducing the formation of interface defects and improving the luminous efficiency of the quantum dots. Secondly, the energy level structure formed by the alloy material provided by the invention is more beneficial to effectively constraining the electron cloud in the quantum dot, and greatly reduces the diffusion probability of the electron cloud to the surface of the quantum dot, thereby greatly inhibiting the Auger recombination loss of the non-radiative transition of the quantum dot, reducing the scintillation of the quantum dot and improving the light efficiency of the quantum dot. Thirdly, the energy level structure formed by the alloy material provided by the invention is more beneficial to improving the injection efficiency and the transmission efficiency of the charge of the quantum dot light emitting layer in the QLED device; meanwhile, the accumulation of charges and the quenching of excitons generated by the accumulation can be effectively avoided. Fourthly, the easily-controlled diversified performance level structures formed by the alloy material provided by the invention can fully meet and match with the energy level structures of other functional layers in the device to realize the matching of the whole energy level structures of the device, thereby being beneficial to realizing the high-efficiency QLED device.
The invention also provides a preparation method of the alloy material, which comprises the following steps:
synthesizing a first compound at a predetermined position;
synthesizing a second compound on the surface of a first compound, wherein the alloy components of the first compound and the second compound are the same or different;
and (3) enabling the first compound and the second compound to perform cation exchange reaction to form an alloy material, wherein the wavelength of the luminous peak of the alloy material is subjected to discontinuous blue shift.
The preparation method combines a quantum dot SILAR synthesis method with a quantum dot one-step synthesis method to generate the alloy material, and specifically utilizes the quantum dot layer-by-layer growth and the quantum dot one-step synthesis method to form the transition shell with the gradually-changed components. That is, two compound thin layers having the same or different alloy compositions are sequentially formed at predetermined positions, and a gradual composition distribution at the predetermined positions is achieved by causing a cation exchange reaction between the two compounds. The gradual change component distribution at the preset position in the radial direction can be continuously realized by repeating the above processes, and the abrupt alloy component distribution on the whole quantum dot is realized due to the discontinuous blue shift in the repeating process.
The first compound and the second compound can be binary or more compounds.
The alloy material has discontinuous blue shift in the wavelength of the light emission peak. The occurrence of blue shift represents that the luminescence peak is shifted to the short wave direction and the energy level width is widened. Of course, the red shift of the emission peak wavelength means that the emission peak shifts in the long-wavelength direction and the energy level width becomes narrower, while the unchanged emission peak wavelength means that the energy level width does not change. In the present invention, the occurrence of discontinuous blue shift means that the energy level width between the structural units is changed abruptly rather than continuously.

In the production method of the present invention, the cation exchange reaction is preferably carried out under conditions such that the heating reaction is carried out, for example, at a temperature of from 100 ℃ to 400 ℃, preferably at a temperature of from 150 ℃ to 380 ℃. The heating time is between 2s and 24h, and the preferable heating time is between 5min and 4 h.
The higher the heating temperature, the faster the rate of cation exchange reaction, and the larger the thickness range and exchange degree of cation exchange, but the thickness and degree range gradually reach the relative saturation degree; similarly, the longer the heating time, the greater the thickness range and degree of cation exchange, but the range of thickness and degree gradually reaches a level of relative saturation. The thickness range and extent of cation exchange directly determines the alloy composition distribution formed. The distribution of the alloy components formed by the cation exchange is also determined by the thickness of the binary or multi-element compound nanocrystals formed from each.

The difference between this method and the former method is that the former method forms two layers of compounds in sequence, then the cation exchange reaction occurs, thereby realizing the component distribution of the alloy material of the invention, while the latter method is that the cation precursor and the anion precursor of the alloy component required to be synthesized are directly controlled to be added at the preset position, and the reaction is carried out to form the alloy material, thereby realizing the alloy component distribution required by the invention. In the latter method, the reaction principle is that the cation precursor and the anion precursor with high reactivity react first, the cation precursor and the anion precursor with low reactivity react later, and different cations undergo cation exchange reaction in the reaction process, so that the distribution of the alloy components required by the invention is realized. The kinds of the cationic precursor and the anionic precursor have been described in detail in the foregoing method.
