Description

Amorphous gallium oxide etching method and application in three-terminal device and array imaging system
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of lithium battery materials, in particular to an amorphous gallium oxide etching method and application thereof in a three-terminal device and an array imaging system.
Background
In recent years, a wide bandgap oxide semiconductor material gallium oxide (Ga)2O3) Because of the advantages of band gap as high as 4.9eV, stable chemical and thermal properties, the material has very important application prospects in the fields of deep ultraviolet detection, high-energy radiation detection, photocatalysis, solar cells, gas sensing, power devices and the like, and is widely concerned by more and more scientific researchers. However, most of the currently reported gallium oxide photodetectors adopt a two-terminal device structure, and have the following problems: without bagThe patterning process including the gallium oxide active layer brings adverse effects on effectively isolating pixel points of the array device, reducing dark current, improving imaging quality and the like; in addition, the device has a continuous photoconductive phenomenon, thereby seriously affecting the response frequency of the device and the practical application thereof. Research has shown that in a three terminal device with gate modulation (such as a thin film transistor), the persistent photoconduction of the device can be effectively suppressed by applying a gate pulse. Therefore, it is very significant and urgently required to fabricate a three-terminal device based on gallium oxide. However, if the gallium oxide channel layer is not patterned, the device usually exhibits a large gate leakage current, which is not favorable for improving the light-dark ratio of the device; in addition, when the three-terminal device is applied to other conventional occasions, the larger grid leakage current is not beneficial to realizing the energy-saving target.
The solution of the above problems places a pressing need for patterning of gallium oxide materials and devices. Patterning is generally achieved by an etching method, which generally includes dry etching and wet etching, and wet etching is further classified into chemical etching and electrochemical etching, wherein chemical etching is widely adopted due to the advantages of low cost (expensive vacuum plasma equipment and the like commonly used in dry etching are not needed), controllable etching rate, simplicity in operation, wide application range and the like.
The chemical etching solution of the gallium oxide material which is disclosed at present mainly comprises various strong acids and strong bases, and specifically comprises the following components:
1. etching using hydrofluoric acid (HF) solution (phys. stat. sol. (c),2008,5, 3116);
2. high temperature etching using concentrated nitric acid (phys. stat. sol. (c),2008,5, 3116);
3. high temperature etching (RSC adv.,2018,8,6544) using sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution;
4. high temperature etching (jpn. j. appl. phys.,2009,48,040208) was performed using a concentrated phosphoric acid (H3PO4) and concentrated sulfuric acid (H2SO4) solution.
However, the above method can etch gallium oxide and simultaneously corrode and denature the photoresist, so that the photoresist cannot be removed by acetone or even an etching barrier layer cannot be formed. That is, the existing gallium oxide chemical etching technology has the problem of incompatibility with the photoetching process. Therefore, it is very important and practical to find a chemical etching method for gallium oxide material that is easy and convenient to operate, stable in process, low in cost, and has a high etching selectivity ratio for other materials (i.e. gallium oxide is stably etched while other materials are rarely or hardly etched).
