Description

Amorphous Ga2O3Photoelectric detector, manufacturing method thereof and performance improving method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of photoelectric detection, in particular to amorphous Ga2O3A photoelectric detector, a manufacturing method thereof and a performance improving method.
Background
Because the background radiation of the solar blind (200-280 nm) wave band in the atmosphere is close to zero, the solar blind ultraviolet detector working in the wave band has the advantages of low background noise, high sensitivity and the like, so the solar blind ultraviolet detector has very wide application prospects in the fields of space communication, flame monitoring, biomedicine, missile guidance, ozone monitoring and the like; similarly, X-ray detectors are also important in medical inspection, military weapons, space communications, satellite navigation, and other fields. Ga2O3The material has the characteristics of 4.5-5.0 electron voltage wide band gap, low noise current, strong irradiation resistance and the like, so that the material is more and more widely concerned in the solar blind deep ultraviolet detection field and the X-ray detection field.
At present, Ga is involved2O3In the report of the photodetector, high-quality single-crystal-phase Ga is mostly adopted2O3As an active layer. And single crystal phase Ga2O3The preparation needs complex processes of single crystal substrate, high temperature growth, high temperature annealing and the like: for example, high vacuum equipment such as molecular beam epitaxy, pulsed laser deposition, metal organic chemical vapor deposition and the like are used, the doped film grows under a high temperature condition, and high temperature annealing is needed to activate donors, acceptors and the like, so that the film has high preparation cost and large volume and mass, is not beneficial to large-area industrial application, and cannot be integrated with flexible equipment. In contrast to the single-crystal phase, the amorphous phase Ga2O3The film has the advantages of simple preparation process, low cost, low-temperature growth, realization of flexibility and the like, thereby having great market application potential.
However, amorphous Ga grown at room temperature is currently used2O3The defect density in the film is high, which causes large dark current and unstable performance, so that the problems of high energy consumption, low light-dark ratio, poor stability and the like can occur in practical application. To realize the amorphous Ga2O3The organic regulation and control of the defect density in the film has invented a micro-oxygen flow regulation and control method in the industry, which effectively inhibits the oxygen vacancy point defect concentration in the film, reduces the dark current, and respectively increases the light-dark ratio of solar blind ultraviolet and X-ray irradiation to 107And 104Magnitude.
However, we find that although the accurate regulation of the oxygen flow greatly reduces the dark current and greatly improves the response speed, the responsiveness of the device is also greatly reduced, and the actual application effect of the device is seriously affected.

step 1: a piece of a 15mm by 0.5mm size deep ultra-violet ultra-pure quartz substrate was cleaned by ultrasonic cleaning and blow-dried with dry high purity nitrogen gas, and placed on a sample holder of the same size. After the substrate is fixed, the substrate is placed into a growth chamber of a magnetron sputtering apparatus provided with a gallium oxide ceramic target (the purity of the gallium oxide ceramic target used in the example is 99.999%), a sample table is lifted to the highest position (the distance between the target and the substrate is about 8mm), a baffle plate below the sample is closed, and finally a quick-release opening of the chamber is screwed down.

After the normal glow starting, the sputtering power is adjusted to be 60W, the sputtering pressure is adjusted to be 0.4Pa, the baffle plate below the sample is opened to start formal sputtering after the pre-sputtering is carried out for 5min, when the total sputtering time is 15min (the thickness of the gallium oxide layer is about 83nm), the sputtering is completely stopped, and the pump is stopped to take out the sample.
And step 3: and (3) coating a 1-micron thick S6487 positive photoresist on the hydrogen-doped gallium oxide film obtained in the step (2) by a spin coating method. The photoresist coated samples were placed on a hot plate stable at 115 ℃ for a pre-bake of 65 seconds.
And 4, step 4: the electrode structures were exposed on the sample film using a well-known uv lithography machine MA6, using a mask plate structure of 5 μm wide, 5 μm pitch, 300 μm long, for a total of 75 pairs of interdigitated structures. And developing and fixing the exposed sample by adopting MF-319 as a developing solution and deionized water as a fixing solution.
And 5: and (4) depositing an Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) electrode with the thickness of 80nm on the sample obtained in the step (4) by utilizing a magnetron sputtering process. The specific parameters of magnetron sputtering are as follows: the sputtering power is 50W, the sputtering pressure is 0.4Pa, the sputtering gas is high-purity argon of 10sccm, the sample table is kept at the highest position during sputtering, and the total sputtering time is 8 min.
Step 6: for the sample obtained in step 5Stripping acetone to remove the redundant photoresist and the ITO electrode thereon, thereby forming an interdigital electrode and finally obtaining amorphous Ga2O3A photodetector. Denoted sample 1.
Two parts of the ITO electrodes were wired to the ketely 6487 source meter with conductive silver paste, the voltage was held constant and uv response testing was performed using a 254nm uv hand lamp.
Example 2
The present embodiment is substantially the same as embodiment 1, except that in step 2, after the background vacuum is pumped to be lower than 4.5E-4Pa, 1.0sccm of high-purity hydrogen is introduced, after the gas flow is stable, the process waits for 10min, if the hydrogen flow and the vacuum in the chamber are stable, 10sccm of high-purity argon is introduced, the vacuum in the chamber reaches 1.6E-1Pa, and Ga is sputtered to initiate glow2O3And the thickness of the film is about 84 nm. Amorphous Ga obtained finally2O3The photodetector is denoted sample 2.
Example 3
This example is substantially the same as example 1, except that: in the step 2, after the background vacuum is pumped to be lower than 4.5E-4Pa, 1.5sccm of high-purity hydrogen is introduced, after the gas flow is stable, the waiting time is 10min, if the hydrogen flow and the vacuum in the cavity are stable, 10sccm of high-purity argon is introduced, the vacuum in the cavity reaches 1.6E-1Pa, and the Ga is sputtered under glow2O3And the thickness of the film is about 85 nm. Amorphous Ga obtained finally2O3The photodetector is denoted as sample 3.
Example 4
This example is substantially the same as example 1, except that: in the step 2, after the background vacuum is pumped to be lower than 4.5E-4Pa, introducing high-purity hydrogen of 2.0sccm, the vacuum in the cavity reaches 1.6E-3Pa, waiting for 10min after the gas flow is stable, introducing high-purity argon of 10sccm if the oxygen flow and the vacuum in the cavity are stable, the vacuum in the cavity reaches 1.6E-1Pa, and starting to sputter Ga2O3And the thickness of the film is about 93 nm. Amorphous Ga obtained finally2O3The photodetector is denoted as sample 4.
For the above examples 1-4, we also designed comparative example 1 for comparative illustration.
Comparative example 1
A photodetector of the present invention was fabricated by substantially the same procedure as in example 1, except that in step 2, after the background vacuum was evacuated to less than 4.5E-4Pa, high-purity hydrogen gas (hydrogen flow: 0sccm) was not introduced, high-purity argon gas of 10sccm was directly introduced, the vacuum in the chamber reached 1.6E-1Pa, and Ga was sputtered under glow2O3And the thickness of the film is about 84 nm. Amorphous Ga obtained finally2O3The photodetector is denoted as comparative sample 1.
In FIGS. 2 to 5, the flow rates of the sputtering hydrogen gas corresponding to comparative sample 1 and samples 1 to 4 are shown to be 0sccm, 0.5sccm, 1.0sccm, 1.5sccm and 2.0sccm, respectively.
Fig. 2 shows the optical transmittance maps of the magnetron sputtering samples under different hydrogen flow rates. As can be seen from the graph, the hydrogen flow rate was determined for Ga before and after doping2O3The transmittance of the film has little effect. All amorphous Ga2O3The absorption edge of the film is about 250nm, and the film has a transmittance of more than 85% for light with a wavelength of 300nm or more.
Fig. 3 gives XRD patterns of the magnetron sputtered samples at different hydrogen flow rates. No diffraction peak was observed except for an amorphous diffraction peak around 21.5 ° of the quartz substrate. From this, it can be seen that all of the hydrogen-doped Ga2O3Are all amorphous films.
FIG. 4 shows the magnetron sputter deposited amorphous Ga in different hydrogen flow rates2O3Graph of dark current versus voltage for a thin film corresponding photodetector under 254nm solar blind uv illumination. The flow rates of the sputter hydrogen gas for the samples were 0sccm, 0.5sccm, 1.0sccm, 1.5sccm, and 2.0sccm, respectively, and it can be seen that the dark current of the comparative sample 1 without hydrogen doping was about 1X 10 at the same applied voltage-6Ampere, while dark current for samples 1-4 with hydrogen doping is about 1X 10-9~1×10-11Ampere, dark current is greatly reduced.
FIG. 5 shows the magnetron sputter deposited amorphous Ga in different hydrogen flow rates2O3And (3) a graph of photocurrent of a photoelectric detector corresponding to the thin film under 254nm solar blind ultraviolet illumination along with voltage change. The flow rates of the sputter hydrogen gas for the samples were 0sccm, 0.5sccm, 1.0sccm, 1.5sccm, and 2.0sccm, respectively, and it can be seen that the photocurrent for all the samples was about 1X 10 at the same applied voltage-3Amperometric indicates that hydrogen incorporation did not result in a decrease in photocurrent. The light-to-dark ratio of comparative sample 1 without hydrogen doping was only 103And the light-to-dark ratio of samples 1-4 exceeds 107. This shows that the light-dark ratio of the device is effectively improved by the hydrogen doping on the premise of ensuring that the responsivity of the device is not changed.
Example 5
This example provides a high light-to-dark ratio amorphous Ga2O3The structure of the thin film ultraviolet photoelectric detector is an MSM structure, wherein the substrate is quartz glass, and the electrode is an ITO electrode.
The ultraviolet photodetector of this embodiment is substantially the same as that of embodiment 1, except that in step 2, after the background vacuum is pumped to a pressure lower than 4.5E-4Pa, ammonia gas with a flow rate of 5sccm is introduced through the high-precision flow meter, and after the gas pressure is stabilized, amorphous Ga deposition is started2O3A film. The substrate temperature was room temperature. Amorphous Ga obtained finally2O3The photodetector is denoted as sample 5.
Two parts of the ITO electrodes were wired to the ketely 6487 source meter with conductive silver paste, the voltage was held constant and uv response testing was performed using a 254nm uv hand lamp. Amorphous Ga deposited under the same applied voltage and the condition of introducing ammonia2O3Compared with amorphous Ga deposited under the condition of not introducing ammonia gas, the film ultraviolet photoelectric detector2O3For a thin film ultraviolet photodetector, the optical dark ratio can be improved by 1 order of magnitude.
Example 6
This example provides a high light-to-dark ratio amorphous Ga2O3The structure of the thin film ultraviolet photoelectric detector is a Schottky diode structure, wherein the substrate is quartz glass, and the electrode is an ITO electrode.
This exampleThe method is basically the same as the embodiment 1, except that different masks are adopted to prepare the schottky diode structure by the ultraviolet exposure technology after the film preparation is finished in the steps 3 and 4. Amorphous Ga obtained finally2O3The photodetector is denoted sample 6.
Two parts of the ITO electrodes were wired to the ketely 6487 source meter with conductive silver paste, the voltage was held constant and uv response testing was performed using a 254nm uv hand lamp. Schottky diode type amorphous Ga deposited under the condition of 0.5sccm hydrogen under the same applied voltage2O3The film ultraviolet photoelectric detector is compared with Schottky diode type amorphous Ga deposited under the condition of no hydrogen2O3For thin film UV photodetectors, the optical-to-dark ratio is from about 104To about 105It can be shown that the incorporation of hydrogen effectively increases the light-dark ratio of the ultraviolet photodetector.
