Description

Gallium nitride semiconductor radiation detector, preparation method thereof and detection device
Technical Field
The invention relates to a semiconductor radiation detector, in particular to a gallium nitride semiconductor radiation detector, a preparation method thereof and detection equipment comprising the gallium nitride semiconductor radiation detector.
Background
Gallium nitride is an important wide bandgap semiconductor material, and is expected to be prepared into a current type semiconductor radiation detector with good radiation resistance and fast response. In general, a gallium nitride material with a thickness of 10-500 μm is required for manufacturing a detector for detecting rays and particles, but the gallium nitride material prepared by various growth methods at present generally has the problem of high defect density, for example, the dislocation density of the gallium nitride grown by an HVPE method or an MOCVD method is about 105cm-3Of even higher order and studies have found that growth defects within the material are mostly "vertical defects" along the direction of growth of the material.
When the gallium nitride semiconductor material with high-density vertical defects is used for manufacturing a radiation detector and an electronic device, the problems of easy breakdown and easy fragmentation of the material in the processes of cleaning and electrode manufacturing exist, the yield of the device is very low, and the successful preparation of a large-area current type detector is seriously influenced. If a vertical electrode structure (metal-semiconductor-metal) is selected to directly manufacture electrodes on two surfaces of a material, a large number of vertical defects are potential leakage channels, and when a detector works and is subjected to high voltage, electric breakdown is easy to occur, so that the detector fails. The detection devices using such radiation detectors also have problems associated with defects in the detectors.
