A kind of PIN type indoor temperature nucleus radiation detector and preparation method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of nuclear radiation detector and preparation method thereof, be specifically related to a kind of PIN type indoor temperature nucleus radiation detector and preparation method thereof.
Background technology
Indoor temperature nucleus radiation detector is a class new detector that grows up after gas detector, scintillator detector, have that room temperature is highly sensitive, noise is low, the response light spectrum width, the burst length is short, detection efficient is high, strong, the stable advantages of higher of radioresistance injury reinforcing ability, have purposes widely in fields such as prominent anti-, the Aero-Space of environmental monitoring, nuclear medicine, industrial nondestructive testing, safety inspection, nuclear weapon, astrophysics and high-energy physics, become one of forward position research focus of modern high-tech field.
Yet, owing to indoor temperature nucleus radiation detector requires at room temperature to work, and energy resolution and detection efficient are had relatively high expectations, so the material of preparation detector has also been proposed very high requirement.It is generally acknowledged and must satisfy following requirement: 1. higher atomic number, guaranteeing has higher stopping power to gamma-rays, thereby guarantees that detector has higher detection efficient; 2. bigger energy gap when guaranteeing that detector is at room temperature worked, has higher resistivity and lower leakage current; 3. favorable manufacturability energy makes purity height, monocrystal that integrality is good easily, has good mechanical performance and chemical stability simultaneously, is convenient to carry out machining, is made into potential barrier contact or ohmic contact easily; 4. You Yi physical property, the reverse biased that ability is higher, reverse leakage current is little, and forward current is also little, and mobility of charge carrier rate-life-span long-pendingly wants big in the material simultaneously, guarantee that detector has excellent energy resolution.In addition, these semi-conducting materials also should have comparatively ripe technology in the processing of its crystal growth, crystal, and therefore, the material that meets above-mentioned requirements seldom.
At present, studying maximum is CdZnTe (CZT) indoor temperature nucleus radiation detector, state such as the U.S., Russia is all with CZT crystalline material and detector commercialization thereof, yet, there are the following problems for this crystalline material: 1. because the pyroconductivity of CZT crystalline material is extremely low, its stacking defective forms can be less, make it in crystal growing process, factors such as temperature fluctuation very easily cause the appearance of twin; 2. because its critical shear stress is low, very easily produce dislocation; 3. in its component, the partial vapour pressure of Cd is much higher than the partial vapour pressure of other two kinds of components, easily causes the rich Te of melt; 4. in the temperature-fall period of its crystal growth, its width of solution area that high temperature exists down will be contracted to " 0 " when room temperature, and forming Te easily precipitates/be mingled with, thereby influences material property; Therefore, preparing high-quality CZT crystal and detector thereof is the comparison difficulty, and its cost is also very expensive.
Now as the GaN and the multicomponent alloy material thereof of third generation semi-conducting material representative, because of its unique excellent optics and electric property, enjoy the concern and the favor of academia and industrial quarters, especially active in the research and the application in photoelectron (as issuing diode (LED) and laser diode) and microelectronics (high electron mobility transistor (HEMT)) field especially, be the international focus of current semiconductor circle.
In the detector field, the GaN sill also becomes the research focus of ultraviolet detector, particularly sunlight blind ultraviolet detector gradually.For example, " semiconductor journal " the 25th volume the 6th phase " GaN based Schottky structure UV detector " literary composition of the 711st page to 714 pages, a kind of ultraviolet detector of GaN base is promptly disclosed, constitute by the GaN resilient coating that is grown in 20 nanometers on the Sapphire Substrate, 1 micron n type GaN epitaxial loayer and 0.6 micron intrinsic GaN epitaxial loayer, the surface preparation Schottky electrode, and on n type GaN epitaxial loayer, prepare Ohmic electrode by photoetching, have good ultraviolet detection performance.Because GaN has premium properties such as broad-band gap, strong covalent bond combination, high-melting-point, high breakdown electric field, anticorrosive, radioresistance, therefore the inventor thinks that it can be used as the indoor temperature nucleus radiation detector semi-conducting material, solves the problem that existing CZT indoor temperature nucleus radiation detector exists.Yet existing GaN ultraviolet detector thickness has only 1~2 micron, and is not suitable for the indoor temperature nucleus radiation detection.
On the other hand, in the prior art, in preparation during detector, employing be unidirectional growth technology, adopt the mode of multistep photoetching to prepare contact electrode, thereby preparation technology's more complicated, this has also increased the cost of manufacture of detector simultaneously.
