Description
The present invention relates to an optical device, and more particularly to an optical device using a surface plasmon shape.
A typical optical device may be classified into a portion for absorbing or transmitting incident light to convert incident light into an electrical signal and a portion for forming light in response to an applied electrical signal.
In order to absorb the incident light, the photoreactive material must have a lower bandgap than the incident light. Application of this is an optical sensor represented by a photodiode or the like. In addition, in order to transmit the incident light, the photoreactive material must have a lower bandgap than the incident light. In particular, optical filters and the like that absorb only specific wavelengths and transmit light in the remaining wavelength ranges have various applications.
In addition, a light emitting diode is a typical device that forms light in response to an electrical signal applied from the outside.
In particular, an optical device that generates an electrical signal or the like in response to light emitted from the outside, when light having energy above the energy bandgap of the photoreactive material is incident, absorbs the light and detects it.
However, such an optical device is limited in its properties only by physical properties such as bandgap energy of a material that absorbs light energy. The characteristics of the photoreaction also depend on the amount of energy to which light is irradiated. Therefore, there is a limit to increase the amount of light absorption by using a material having a high absorption coefficient or by increasing the thickness of the light absorption layer.
An object of the present invention for solving the above problems is to provide an optical device that improves the photoreactivity by using the surface plasmon phenomenon.
The present invention for achieving the above object, a gate electrode formed on a substrate; A gate dielectric layer formed on the gate electrode; A channel region formed on the gate dielectric layer; A surface plasmon layer formed on the channel region and composed of metal nanoparticles to generate an energy transfer phenomenon by collective vibration of free electrons for incident light, and to transfer the generated energy to the channel region; A source electrode formed on one side of the surface plasmon layer and electrically connected to the channel region; And an optical device including a drain electrode facing the source electrode around the surface plasmon layer.
In addition, the above object of the present invention, the gate electrode formed on the substrate; A gate dielectric layer formed on the gate electrode; A channel region formed on the gate dielectric layer and forming two channels by bias and incident light applied from the gate electrode; A surface plasmon layer formed on the channel region and generating an energy transfer phenomenon according to a surface plasmon phenomenon due to the incident light, and transferring the generated energy to the channel region; A source electrode formed on one side of the surface plasmon layer and electrically connected to the channel region; And a drain electrode facing the source electrode around the surface plasmon layer.
According to the present invention described above, the optical device changes the aspect of the channel formation depending on whether light is incident. As a result, a difference occurs in the amount of current flowing through the channel region of the optical device, and the external circuit detects this to check whether light is incident and the amount of incident light.
In addition, in the present invention, a separate channel is formed by the surface plasmon phenomenon irrespective of the bias applied to the gate electrode. Through this, the difference in the current flowing through the channel can be detected according to whether light is incident, and light detection or switching operation by light becomes possible.

In particular, the
That is, a large number of free electrons exist inside the metal, which is a conductor. Since free electrons are not bound to metal atoms, they are likely to respond to specific external stimuli. In particular, when the metal has a nano size, the surface plasmon properties appear by the behavior of free electrons, and has a unique optical properties. The resonance phenomenon caused by the surface plasmon is a phenomenon in which free electrons on the metal surface vibrate collectively due to resonance of an electromagnetic field of a specific energy when light enters between the surface of the metal nanoparticle as a conductor and a dielectric. Therefore, the metal nanoparticles in which the surface plasmon is generated resonate strongly with light of various wavelengths according to the type, shape and size of the metal, and amplify the absorption or scattering of light. In addition, strong charge transfer and energy transfer phenomena occur internally for absorption of incident light and amplification of scattering.

Referring to FIG. 4, a fine Schottky barrier is formed between the n-type channel region and the surface plasmon layer. This Schottky barrier is formed at the surface end of the channel region, which is a semiconductor structure. This is due to the state where the surface of the channel region has surface energy due to different effects from covalent bonds that are not fully bonded. Therefore, the energy band has a sharp discontinuity between the channel region of the semiconductor material and the surface plasmon layer.
Free electrons in the surface plasmon layer formed of metal nanoparticles by the surface plasmon phenomenon move over the Schottky barrier to the conduction band of the channel region. Therefore, separate free electrons are formed in the channel region under the surface plasmon layer.

Therefore, the optical device according to the present invention changes the formation of the channel depending on whether light is incident. As a result, a difference occurs in the amount of current flowing through the channel region of the optical device, and the external circuit detects this to check whether light is incident and the amount of incident light.
In addition, the surface plasmon layer in the present invention may be formed inside the channel region. That is, conductive nanoparticles may be formed in the channel through ion implantation, and may be used as a surface plasmon layer.
In the present invention, a separate channel is formed by the surface plasmon phenomenon of the channel region and the surface plasmon layer irrespective of the bias applied to the gate electrode. Through this, the difference in the current flowing through the channel can be detected according to whether light is incident, and light detection or switching operation by light becomes possible.
