Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of nano semiconductor materials, in particular to a method for regulating and controlling a semiconductor corrosion region.
Background
Semiconductor materials represented by silicon have a wide development space in the future scientific and technological energy fields including chips, memory elements, solar cells, lithium ion batteries, thermoelectric materials, lasers, artificial photosynthesis and the like.
In the prior art, a metal-assisted chemical etching technology is adopted to prepare a semiconductor nanowire array, but the nanowire prepared by the method at present has strong randomness, and a series of problems exist in the application of the method in different application fields. For example, in solar cells, it is desirable for the material to have a higher light absorption rate, and in lithium ion batteries and thermoelectric materials, it is desirable for the material to exhibit a finer size. The current relatively easy way to implement is to control the morphology of the catalyst by changing the deposition process of the catalyst, thereby controlling the corrosion area. However, the catalyst is generally made of precious metal materials such as gold, silver, platinum and the like, so that more precious metal waste can be generated by enlarging a corrosion area, and meanwhile, the deposition process of the catalyst is repeatedly adjusted according to different application conditions, so that large-scale batch production is not facilitated. Therefore, how to regulate and control the corrosion area to obtain the nanowire structure with different morphological characteristics is the key of the current technology.
