Ga2O3-CuSCN core-shell heterojunction solar blind ultraviolet detector and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a solar blind ultraviolet detector and a preparation method thereof, in particular to a solar blind ultraviolet detector based on Ga2O3A solar blind ultraviolet detector of a CuSCN core-shell heterojunction and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the field of semiconductor optoelectronic devices.
Background
Photoelectric detection is the basis of imaging technology, deep ultraviolet astronomy, environmental monitoring, safety communication, biochemical analysis, national defense early warning, fire detection and other fields, and has received significant attention and stable development in recent decades because of its wide application. The working principle of the optical detector is to convert the captured optical signal into an electrical signal, thereby realizing detection. The optical detector can be divided into an ultraviolet detector, a visible light detector, an infrared detector and the like according to the wave band of the optical signal responded by the optical detector. The ultraviolet detector can be subdivided into detectors corresponding to UVA (315-400 nm), UVB (280-315 nm), UVC (200-280 nm) and EUV (10-200 nm) wave bands. The UVC wave band is called a solar blind wave band, and the reason is that ultraviolet light with a wave band of 200-280 nm hardly exists on the earth surface due to the absorption of an ozone layer. The absence of the background light on the earth is avoided, so that the solar blind ultraviolet detector has extremely high optical signal detection sensitivity and extremely high accuracy, and becomes a high-end technology in the fields of safety communication, military guidance and the like.
The photo-detected optical signal response is based on the forbidden bandwidth of the semiconductor material. Ga2O3The material has a forbidden band width of 4.2-5.3 eV, can almost realize the full coverage of a solar blind waveband, and is an excellent core material of a solar blind detector. But based on Ga alone2O3The detection device with the metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) structure has the defects of low sensitivity, slow response speed and the like, and generally can work under the condition of external power supply. In recent years, a novel heterojunction device has attracted extensive attention because a built-in electric field existing at an interface of the novel heterojunction device can realize effective separation of electron-hole pairs and high-efficiency transmission of carriers, and contributes remarkably to improvement of performance of a detection device. Therefore, the development was based on Ga2O3The heterojunction solar blind detector necessarily gives Ga2O3The application of materials brings new growth poles.
