Description

PN接面及其製備方法及用途
本案係關於一種PN接面及其製備方法及用途、包含所述的PN接面的半導體薄膜元件(尤其是光電二極體元件)及包含所述的半導體薄膜元件的光電感測模組及其廣泛用途。
銅銦鎵硒半導體薄膜不僅對可見光具有優異的感光特性,其對紅外光至近紅外光範圍(780至1100 nm)內的光相較於一般半導體薄膜材料亦具有較佳的感光能力。因此,銅銦鎵硒半導體薄膜可用於製造寬波段的光電二極體元件。 傳統的銅銦鎵硒光電二極體元件包含(1)作為陽極的金屬電極薄膜層、(2)作為吸光層的P型銅銦鎵硒半導體薄膜層、(3)作為緩衝層的N型化合物半導體薄膜層、(4)作為導電層的透明金屬氧化物導電薄膜層及(5)作為陰極的透明金屬氧化物薄膜層(圖1)。 作為陽極的金屬電極薄膜層常以濺鍍使用鉬金屬製備。 作為吸光層、具有高光電轉換特性的P型銅銦鎵硒半導體薄膜層常透過真空磁控濺射鍍膜、真空共蒸鍍鍍膜、印刷鍍膜或電鍍鍍膜等方式、使用選自銅、銦、鎵及硒等元素的二元、三元或四元化合物靶材,將銅銦鎵硒薄膜沉積在鍍有金屬陽極薄膜層的基板上後,再進行硒化製程而得。硒化製程是銅銦鎵硒製程中最重要的一道製程,硒化製程的目的在於提高硒的比例,以提高元件表面能隙,從而解決開路電壓過低的問題。硒化製程亦決定銅銦鎵硒的晶粒大小、組成分佈,從而影響銅銦鎵硒的光電轉換效率。硒化製程主要是在硒的化學氣氛下,將金屬前驅物,轉換成硒化物半導體材料。常見的硒化製程分兩種,分別為快速熱處理(即:Rapid Thermal Process,簡稱RTP)硒化與硒化氫(H2Se)熱處理。RTP熱處理使用固態硒源加熱,優點是產速快,缺點是氣氛均勻性控制不易,所以無法調整晶粒組成導致效率不高。H2 Se熱處理使用硒化氫進行硒化,優點是可控制氣氛,從而得到高效率元件,缺點是批次管狀爐反應產速慢造成反應時間長(8-10小時)。 作為緩衝層的N型化合物半導體薄膜層必須與吸光層的能隙匹配,以形成足夠厚度的空乏區。緩衝層可避免吸光層在後續製程中受到高能量的濺鍍鍍膜製程破壞且可保護吸光層內部的晶體結構。P型銅銦鎵硒半導體薄膜層具有直接能隙,表面可利用鎵或硫離子摻雜來提高能隙,常使用硫化鎘(CdS)作為N型化合物半導體層的材料。然,基於環保考慮,需要一種不含鎘的N型化合物半導體層的半導體薄膜元件。 CN 108470783 A揭露一種感光元件,包含P型銅銦鎵硒半導體薄膜層、本徵銅銦鎵硒薄膜層及N型銅銦鎵硒半導體薄膜層。本徵銅銦鎵硒的薄膜能帶寬約Eg=1.37eV,其化學結構為β-Cu0.49 (In0.56 Ga0.44 )3 Se5 。由此可知本徵銅銦鎵硒的薄膜鍍製需要過量的硒元素,須使用高溫硒化的製程才能夠達成,單純只用濺射或蒸鍍的鍍膜方式是無法達成的。在所述的PIN感光元件中,P型銅銦鎵硒半導體薄膜層的製作,是建立在本徵銅銦鎵硒薄膜層鍍製後,透過與銅或銅合金電極接觸,及經高溫退火使電極的銅元素擴散到本徵銅銦鎵硒薄膜層裡,才形成的。此種製法中的銅元素擴散深度不足,導致金屬電極與P型銅銦鎵硒半導體薄膜層間的介面產生缺陷結構,無法形成良好的歐姆接觸。再者,CN 108470783 A提到本徵銅銦鎵硒薄膜層是主要用於吸收光,使接收的光形成電子-空穴對後,再經過PIN結構的內建電場形成電流轉換成電訊號。然而,本徵銅銦鎵硒薄膜層具有非常多的晶體結構缺陷,且在所述的專利中記載本徵銅銦鎵硒薄膜層厚度範圍三百奈米到三千奈米,P型銅銦鎵硒半導體薄膜層及N型銅銦鎵硒半導體薄膜層為五十奈米到三百奈米,因此本徵銅銦鎵硒薄膜層內部缺陷結構多。缺陷結構會使得電子-空穴對形成的效率低,及金屬電極與P型銅銦鎵硒半導體薄膜層的接著面無法形成良好的歐姆接觸,因此內建電場無法有效地使電子-空穴對分離形成載子電流,PIN的銅銦鎵硒元件結構無法有效運作。此外,由於本徵銅銦鎵硒熱力學不穩定,退火處理時易相分離,因此難以藉由退火減少結構缺陷。 所述的P型銅銦鎵硒半導體薄膜層的硒化製程及使用硫化鎘的N型化合物半導體層的鍍製皆涉及高溫化學反應,使薄膜內部的結構受到影響,從而損害所產生的光電二極體元件的光電轉換效率。因此,技術領域中需要一種無須硒化處理且不含鎘的PN接面,所述的PN接面適用於半導體薄膜元件中。
本發明的一目的在於提供一種無須硒化處理且使用無鎘緩衝層的PN接面。 本發明的另一個目的在於提供一種包含所述的PN接面的半導體薄膜元件,尤其是半導體光電二極體元件。根據本發明的一個實施例,所述的半導體薄膜光電二極體元件進一步包含含有鉬金屬化合物的層。根據本發明的另一個實施例,所述的半導體薄膜光電二極體元件進一步包含發射具有350 nm至1300 nm波長的光的光轉換薄膜層。根據本發明的又一個實施例,所述的半導體薄膜光電二極體元件進一步同時包含含有鉬金屬化合物的層及發射具有350 nm至1300 nm波長的光的光轉換薄膜層。 本發明的又一個目的在於提供一種光電感測模組,包含具有所述的PN接面的半導體薄膜元件,尤其是半導體薄膜光電二極體元件。 本發明的再一個目的在於提供一種所述的光電感測模組的用途,其用於生物辨識、紅外光影像夜視系統感測、近紅外光光電開關或X-光感測。 本案實施例的額外層面及優點將部分地在後續說明中描述、顯示、或是經由本案實施例的實施而闡釋。
