An optically addressed square wave/alternating current volt-ampere electrochemical sensing method comprises the following steps:
s1, cleaning and assembling the semiconductor chip:
step 1, ultrasonically cleaning the semiconductor chip in acetone, isopropanol and pure water for 15min respectively in sequence, and drying the semiconductor chip by using a nitrogen gun for later use.
Step 2, placing the cleaned sensitive layer of the semiconductor chip on an aluminum sheet upwards, placing an organic glass cavity on the semiconductor chip to enable the through hole cavity to be positioned above the chip, fixing the semiconductor chip 2 and the detection cavity 13 by utilizing a bolt group 16, and sealing the semiconductor chip 2 and the detection cavity 13 through a sealing ring 15;
and 3, fixing the detection cell device 3 assembled with the semiconductor chip on a displacement device 5, and adjusting the displacement device to enable the laser generated by the laser device 1 to irradiate the semiconductor chip.
S2, photocurrent response test:
adjusting the Z-direction height of the displacement device 5 to enable the semiconductor chip on the detection cell device 3 to be located at the position of 0.8-1.2cm of the focal point of the laser generated by the laser device 1, namely in a non-focusing state, and turning off or on the laser.
Connecting a pH sensitive semiconductor chip with a working electrode, taking a silver/silver chloride reference electrode as a reference electrode, and taking a platinum wire as a counter electrode to form a three-electrode system; the voltage sweep range of the SWV is: 0.4 to-1.2V, the amplitude is 0.05V, and the scanning frequency is 1 KHz; the voltage sweep range of the ACV is: 0.1 to-1.5V, amplitude of 0.02V and scanning frequency of 200 Hz.
S3, pH sensitivity test:
and adjusting the Z-direction height of the displacement device 5 to enable the semiconductor chip on the detection cell device 3 to be positioned at the position of a laser focus generated by the laser device 1, namely, in a non-focusing state, and inspecting the sensitivity of the pH sensitive semiconductor chip to the pH of the solution. 2ml of different (pH value: 3-9.2) 0.1M NaCl buffer solutions were added to the detection chamber, and the I-V curves corresponding to SWV and ACV were tested accordingly. The voltage sweep range of the SWV is: 0.4 to-1.2V, the amplitude is 0.05V, and the scanning frequency is 1 KHz; the voltage sweep range of the ACV is: 0.1 to-1.5V, amplitude of 0.02V and scanning frequency of 200 Hz.
S4, impedance in-situ detection and imaging:
step 1, adjusting the Z-direction height of a displacement device 5, focusing laser on the surface of an impedance sensitive semiconductor chip, and inspecting the impedance in-situ detection function of the optical addressing square wave/alternating current voltammetry. Specifically, a standard photolithography technique is used to prepare SU 82005 patterns on the surface of a semiconductor chip, wherein the photoresist thickness is 5 μm, and the patterns are squares with a side length of 100 μm. The position of the impedance sensitive semiconductor chip relative to the laser is adjusted through the displacement device 5, so that the laser just irradiates a photoresist covered area or a photoresist uncovered area, and an SWV curve and an ACV I-V curve are respectively tested. Wherein the voltage scanning range of the SWV is-0.4 to-0.8V, the amplitude is 0.05V, and the scanning frequency is 100 Hz; the ACV potential scanning range is-0.3 to-0.55V, the potential amplitude is 0.1V, and the scanning frequency is 10 Hz.
And 2, based on the SWV I-V curve result obtained in the step 1, carrying out two-dimensional scanning on the SU8 pattern at a potential of-0.8V to obtain an SWV photo-current diagram, and comparing the SWV photo-current diagram with an optical diagram shot by an optical imaging system. The pattern is subjected to SWV test (-0.78 to-0.8V, amplitude 0.05V and scanning frequency 100Hz) by two-dimensional scanning (step length: 4 μm, dead time: 2.3s, scanning range: 200 μm × 200 μm) of the displacement device in the x and y directions, namely, the SWV current of the point under-0.8V is collected every time the displacement device moves to the point, so that a photocurrent two-dimensional image is obtained.
An SU 82005 pattern was prepared on the surface of the semiconductor chip using standard photolithography, with a photoresist thickness of 5 μm and a pattern of 100 μm square.
Step 3) detecting the resolution of the optical addressing SWV impedance imaging under-0.8V potential: through the linear movement of the displacement device in the x direction (step length: 2 μm, dead time: 2.3s), the pattern edge is subjected to SWV scanning (-0.78 to-0.8V, amplitude 0.05V and scanning frequency 100Hz), namely, when the displacement device moves to one point, the SWV current of the point under-0.8V is collected, so that a photocurrent-position (I-x) curve is obtained, the curve is subjected to differential processing, and the half-peak width is obtained, namely the spatial resolution of the optical addressing SWV impedance imaging.
For the above described applications for surface potential sensing and impedance imaging, the detection results are as follows:
when the potential scanning range is 0.4 to-1.2V, the potential amplitude is 0.05V, and the scanning frequency is 1KHz, the SWV I-V curve of the pH sensitive semiconductor chip is shown in FIG. 3, and it can be known from FIG. 3 that the photocurrent changes with the potential in an "s" curve: when the potential is more positive (0.4 to-0.1V), the SWV current is lower and has smaller change, and corresponds to the accumulation layer of the specific I-V curve of the field effect structure; along with the continuous reduction of the potential, the absolute value of the photocurrent is gradually increased, and the photocurrent corresponds to a depletion layer of the field effect structure; the current reaches saturation when the potential is minus 1.2V, and the current corresponds to an inversion layer of a field effect structure.
When the potential scanning range is 0.1 to-1.5V, the amplitude is 0.02V, and the scanning frequency is 200Hz, the ACV photocurrent curve of the pH sensitive semiconductor chip is shown in FIG. 4. As can be seen from fig. 4, the photocurrent also shows the trend of "s" curve with the potential: when the potential is more positive, the current is relatively lower and the change is smaller, and the potential is 0.1 to-0.1V; with the continuous reduction of the potential, the photocurrent gradually increases until the saturation is reached around-1.2V.
When the potential scanning range is 0.4 to-1.2V, the potential amplitude is 0.05V, and the scanning frequency is 1KHz, the optical addressing SWV curve of the pH sensitive semiconductor chip tested in the solution with different pH values is shown in FIG. 5 a; the I-V curve gradually shifts towards the negative potential direction along with the increase of the pH value of the solution; as shown in FIG. 5b, the pH sensitivity was 55.9mV/pH at a constant photocurrent of-100 nA.
When the potential scanning range is 0.3 to-0.8V, the amplitude is 0.02V, and the scanning frequency is 200Hz, the optical addressing ACV curve of the pH sensitive semiconductor chip tested in the solution with different pH values is shown in FIG. 6 a. As the pH of the solution increases, the I-V curve also gradually shifts toward a negative potential. As shown in FIG. 6b, the pH sensitivity was 46.7mV/pH at a constant photocurrent of 405 nA.
When the potential scanning range is-0.4 to-0.8V, the potential amplitude is 0.05V, and the scanning frequency is 100Hz, the SWV curve of the scanning of the focused laser on the SU8 photoresist covered area and the uncovered area on the impedance sensitive semiconductor chip is shown in FIG. 7. Since the SU8 photoresist increases the impedance of the chip surface in situ, the absolute value of the photocurrent is significantly reduced in the current saturation region, i.e., the inversion layer, where the chip surface has SU8 coverage compared to the region without SU 8.
When the potential scanning range is-0.3 to-0.55V, the potential amplitude is 0.1V and the scanning frequency is 10Hz, the ACV curves of the areas covered by the SU8 photoresist and the areas not covered by the SU-8 photoresist of the focused laser on the impedance-sensitive semiconductor chip are shown in FIG. 8, and the impedance of the chip surface can be increased in situ by the SU8 photoresist, so that the photocurrent of the chip surface with the SU8 covering part is remarkably reduced compared with that without the SU8 on the inversion layer.
Taking the SU8 pattern as the center, an optical image was taken using an optical imaging system as shown in fig. 9 a. Taking SU8 pattern as the center, performing xy-direction two-dimensional scanning (step length: 4 μm, dead time: 2.3s, scanning range: 200 μm × 200 μm) by a displacement device, simultaneously performing SWV test (-0.78-0.8V, amplitude 0.05V, scanning frequency 100Hz), and obtaining SWV photocurrent two-dimensional image as shown in FIG. 9b by taking the corresponding position coordinate of-0.8V and SWV current. Since SU8 photoresist increases the impedance of the chip surface in situ, the photocurrent is significantly lower in the area covered by the photoresist. The SWV photo-streaming image can better correspond to the optical image.
By means of linear movement of the displacement device in the x direction (step size: 2 μm, dead time: 2.5s, scanning range: 90 μm), optical addressing SWV scanning is performed on the edges of the pattern of the impedance sensitive semiconductor chip SU8 to-0.78V, amplitude is 0.05V, scanning frequency is 100Hz, and the SWV current magnitude under the corresponding position coordinate of-0.8V is taken to obtain a current-position I-x curve as shown in FIG. 9a, and a curve obtained by differentiating the I-x curve is shown in FIG. 9 b. As can be seen from fig. 9a, since SU8 increases the in-situ impedance of its coverage area, the absolute value of the photocurrent increases dramatically as the laser light moves from the SU8 coverage area to the SU 8-free area. The spatial resolution of the optically addressed SWV is about 5.2 μm, as can be seen by the half-width after the differentiation process.
The invention provides an addressable photoelectrochemical detection method, which uses a beam of constant laser to irradiate a semiconductor field effect structure to generate local photon-generated carriers, and simultaneously uses the SWV or ACV function of an electrochemical workstation to modulate the external voltage of a semiconductor chip to obtain photocurrent through detection. The results show that when silicon nitride is used as the sensitive layer, the detection of the pH value of the solution can be achieved. In addition, the semiconductor chip based on SAMs insulation can be used for in-situ detection and imaging of chip surface impedance. Compared with the traditional electrochemical analysis method, the light-addressable SWV/ACV provided by the invention has certain spatial resolution capability, and provides a solution for high-flux multi-site electrochemical detection.
