Description

Planar near-infrared photoelectric detector based on Tamm plasma
Technical Field
The utility model relates to a photoelectric sensing technology field, concretely relates to plane near infrared photoelectric detector based on tamm plasma.
Background
The photoelectric detector based on the PN junction (or PIN junction or heterojunction) collects photogenerated carriers generated by light excitation by a formed built-in electric field. However, the selected semiconductor is transparent to electromagnetic bands with energies below its band gap, so a detector constructed using the semiconductor cannot achieve detection of bands with energies below its band gap. Unlike optoelectronic devices based on semiconductor light absorption, thermionic photodetectors can break through the semiconductor band gap limitation, and the thermions (holes) generated by metal thin film light absorption can directly enter the semiconductor conduction band (valence band) through interface charge transfer to generate macroscopic currents. Among typical semiconductor materials, titanium dioxide has found wide application in ultraviolet photoelectric detection systems based on semiconductor photoresponse due to its environmental protection, low cost, and resistance to photodegradation.
However, the wide bandgap properties of titanium dioxide (3.2 eV) essentially limit its application in the visible and near infrared bands. The metal is contacted with the semiconductor, the metal absorbs photons to generate hot electrons, and then the hot electrons overcome Schottky barrier and are transferred into the semiconductor, so that photoelectric detection in a visible near-infrared band can be realized.
However, due to the lack of an effective photo-electronic management strategy, the photo-responsivity of current thermionic devices is rather low. The general method for improving the performance of the thermionic device is to carry out nanostructured design on a metal film and improve the light absorption efficiency, the thermionic generation rate and the responsivity of a photoelectric detector of the metal film by exciting surface plasmon resonance. For example, in (application No. 201610617154.4) a polarization sensitive photodetector, a metal nanostructure is used to excite surface plasmon resonance, so that the photodetector responds differently to incident light of different polarizations, thereby realizing detection of polarization of the incident light. For example, in (application No. 201610291282.4) a self-driven schottky junction near infrared photodetector based on silicon nanowire array and its preparation method, the responsivity of copper light absorption and thermal electron photodetector is improved by coating a layer of metal copper film on the surface of the silicon nanowire.
However, although the rate of generation of thermal electrons can be improved by exciting surface plasmon resonance by using a metal micro-nano structure, the designed specific micro-nano structures are all sub-wavelength in size, have high requirements on nano processing technology and high cost, and are not beneficial to large-area batch preparation.
