Background art:
in order to meet the increasing high-performance requirements, heterostructure materials are important choices of novel semiconductor chips in the future, so that the advantages of different materials in electricity, optics, thermal engineering and the like are fully exerted. Besides basic material properties such as morphology and components, the temperature rise and thermal resistance of the heterostructure interface are one of the most interesting characteristics in material research and device preparation. The method not only influences the microscopic electron transport and performance of the device, but also influences the reliability of a macroscopic system, and the accumulation of any thermal resistance of a thin-layer structure finally increases the temperature of a system core area. Compared with the good compactness and integrity of a bulk material, the heterogeneous material interface is often subjected to the phenomena of material defect increase, phonon mismatch and the like caused by lattice mismatch and growth process limitation, so that the total thermal resistance of the material interface is far higher than an expected value, the overall heat dissipation performance of the device is influenced, and the heterogeneous material interface becomes a key factor for restricting the development of the heterogeneous material device. The conventional method mainly uses an optical method of a Time-Domain thermal reflection spectrum (TDTR) and a Transient thermal emission spectrum (TTM) of "pump-probe", and the conventional method usually requires a large and expensive optical device for measurement, and is not suitable for large-scale measurement due to complex measurement operation.
The invention content is as follows:
the invention aims to solve the problems, a lattice array form is etched on the surface of a material to be measured, a thermal contact mode is adopted to collect a temperature response curve of the material to be measured, and finally the thermal conductivity of a heterojunction interface in the material to be measured is extracted in a numerical simulation mode.
In order to achieve the purpose, the invention adopts the following technical scheme:
a temperature measuring chip with a heat source is tightly attached to the surface of a measured material, has independent heat source and temperature measuring functions, and can respectively realize independent control of heat source heating and temperature response acquisition. And etching the surface of the material to be detected to form a dot matrix rectangular matrix with the same depth, the same size and uniform distribution by a photoetching process. During measurement, a heating or cooling response curve of a measured sample is collected under the control of a computer, and the thermal conductivity of a heterojunction interface in a measured material is finally extracted through numerical simulation.
The advantage of using lattice contact mode to measure the heterojunction interface thermal conductivity is that: 1. the heating structure and the temperature measuring structure of the temperature measuring chip are completely independent and can be independently controlled by a computer, so that the collection of a heating response curve, a cooling response curve and an unsteady response curve (pulse and sine) is realized; 2. after the dot-shaped rectangular array is etched on the surface of the material to be detected, the proportion of the temperature rise of the heterojunction interface layer in the total temperature response curve can be effectively improved, and the sensitivity and the accuracy of thermal conductivity extraction are improved; 3. compared with an optical measurement method, the lattice contact measurement method is simple and convenient to operate, and can realize rapid measurement of thermal conductivity.
