As shown in fig. 1, the method for preparing a gallium oxide X-ray detector of the present invention comprises the following steps:
step S100, providing gallium oxide single crystal.
Specifically, the X-ray is electromagnetic radiation with energy between ultraviolet ray and gamma ray, and the X-ray detection technology is based on the interaction between the X-ray and a substance to generate photoconduction or ionization excitation equivalent, generate secondary electrons and generate an electric signal through back-end electronic processing. The gallium oxide X-ray detector is used as a semiconductor detector, a semiconductor material is used for absorbing high-energy X-rays and generating electron-hole pairs, and carriers induced by the X-rays are collected by an external circuit to form an electric signal. The gallium oxide single crystal is a single crystal formed by gallium oxide materials, and compared with gallium oxide polycrystal and amorphous gallium oxide, the gallium oxide single crystal is beneficial to absorption of X rays and transmission of carriers, and response time of the detector can be shortened. Gallium oxide single crystals may be prepared by a melt process comprising: floating zone methods, descent methods, heat exchange methods, pulling methods, and guided mode methods. The following description will be made by taking the die guide method and the float zone method as examples.
The gallium oxide single crystal is prepared by adopting a guide die method, and specifically, the gallium oxide single crystal is obtained by adopting the following steps:
a100, drying gallium oxide powder, putting the dried gallium oxide powder into a crucible, heating and melting to obtain a gallium oxide melt, and enabling the gallium oxide melt to flow to the upper surface of the mold.
Specifically, the gallium oxide powder may be β -gallium oxide (4N-6N) powder, and moisture in the gallium oxide powder may be removed by drying the gallium oxide powder, thereby avoiding generation of water vapor when melting the gallium oxide powder. The crucible can be an iraurita crucible, a mold is arranged in the crucible, and the mold can be an iraurita mold. After the gallium oxide is completely melted, the upper surface of the mold is higher than the surface of the gallium oxide melt in the crucible, and the gallium oxide melt in the mold lifts the gallium oxide melt in the crucible to the upper surface of the mold by utilizing capillary force.
And A200, contacting seed crystals with the gallium oxide melt on the upper surface of the mold, and lifting the seed crystals to obtain the gallium oxide single crystals.
Specifically, a seed crystal is fixed on a seed rod, and is lowered to the upper surface of a mold and is in contact with gallium oxide melt on the upper surface of the mold, and the gallium oxide single crystal is formed through three stages of necking, shouldering and stable growth.
By way of example, Ga2O3(4N-6N) powderDrying at 70 deg.C (the drying temperature can be 50-100 deg.C), placing the dried powder in iraurita crucible (with iraurita mold) surrounded by thermal insulation material, heating the iraurita crucible by electromagnetic induction heating coil to melt the gallium oxide powder, and using capillary force to heat Ga2O3The melt is transferred from the crucible to the upper surface of the mold, the seed crystal is brought into contact with the melt on the surface of the mold, and then lifted at a certain speed (about 10 mm/h). And then heating to neck, and after necking, setting a fixed cooling rate to enable the crystal to shoulder and expand in the horizontal direction, thereby starting crystal growth.
The gallium oxide single crystal is prepared by adopting a floating zone method, and specifically, the gallium oxide single crystal is obtained by adopting the following steps:
and B100, drying the gallium oxide powder to prepare a material rod, and contacting the material rod with the seed crystal.
Specifically, gallium oxide powder is subjected to cold pressing and sintering to form a material rod, the material rod is fixed on a feeding rod, a seed crystal is fixed on a seed crystal rod, and then the material rod is contacted with the seed crystal.
And B200, melting the contact position of the material rod and the seed crystal, and moving the seed crystal to obtain the gallium oxide single crystal.
Specifically, the contact position of the material rod and the seed crystal is melted, the gallium oxide of the material rod is melted and contacted with the seed crystal, and when the seed crystal is moved, a gallium oxide single crystal is formed on the seed crystal.
By way of example, beta-Ga2O3Drying (4N-6N) powder in an oven at 70 ℃, preparing the powder into a material rod, cold-pressing the material rod under 70-450 MPa and sintering the material rod at 1300-1600 ℃ to prepare the material rod with the diameter of 5-8 mm, fixing the material rod on a feeding rod, fixing seed crystals on a seed crystal rod, adjusting the rotating speed of the two rods to be 10-15 r/min, adjusting the rotating speed of the two rods to be opposite, using two halogen lamps as heat sources, focusing light to the tip of the material rod in contact with the seed crystals by using an elliptical reflector to enable the temperature of the tip to reach 1800-1900 ℃, starting melting the seed crystals, and then enabling the material rod above and the material rod below to meltThe melted seed crystal is contacted with the melt zone of the material rod and the seed crystal formed by surface tension, the melt zone is fixed at the high temperature of the lamp, and the two rods move downwards at the same speed (the moving speed is 3-5mm/h) to start to grow crystals.
And step S200, cutting the gallium oxide single crystal to obtain a single crystal substrate.
Specifically, the surface of the single crystal substrate sheet may be the 001 plane or the 100 plane of gallium oxide, and the position of the seed crystal may be arranged according to the crystal plane required for gallium oxide in the single crystal substrate sheet. The length of the single crystal substrate sheet is 3mm-10 mm; the width of the single crystal substrate sheet is 3mm-10 mm; the thickness of the single crystal substrate sheet is 0.1mm-3 mm. Since the single crystal base sheet needs to be annealed, the thickness of the single crystal base sheet is not necessarily too thick.
And step S300, annealing the single crystal substrate sheet to obtain an annealed single crystal substrate sheet.
Specifically, the temperature of the annealing treatment is 1250-1600 ℃, the time of the annealing treatment is 5-20h, and the atmosphere of the annealing treatment is air or oxygen. During the annealing, the free electron concentration of the single crystal base sheet decreases due to the generation of defects that trap electrons such as Ga vacancies; and Ga3+Electrons are captured after bond breaking, the content of low-valence Ga ions is increased, and the concentration of free electrons is reduced. In addition, annealing at high temperatures improves the quality of the single crystal of gallium oxide. The free electron concentration of the single crystal base sheet decreases more with the increase in the temperature of the annealing treatment and the extension of the time of the annealing treatment, and of course the temperature of the annealing treatment should not be too high so as not to melt the single crystal base sheet. Preferably, the temperature of the annealing treatment is 1250 ℃, and the time of the annealing treatment is 10 h. Preferably, the temperature of the annealing treatment is 1450 ℃, and the time of the annealing treatment is 20 h.
And S400, forming an interdigital electrode on the annealed single crystal substrate to obtain the gallium oxide X-ray detector.
Specifically, as the annealed single crystal substrate sheet is a single crystal, the surface of the single crystal substrate sheet is a crystal surface, the interdigital electrode is formed on the crystal surface, and the crystal surface of the annealed single crystal substrate sheet is covered by a large-area interdigital electrode, as shown in fig. 3, the area of the region where the interdigital electrode is located (the area of the dashed-line frame in fig. 3) occupies an area of 1/2 or more of the annealed single crystal substrate sheet, so that the interdigital electrode can be well connected to the annealed single crystal substrate sheet, and carrier transmission is realized. And the interdigital electrode has the advantage of large area, once the annealed substrate sheet is irradiated by X rays, the generated current carriers can be immediately transferred onto the electrode, so that the response time is shortened.
Specifically, the monocrystalline substrate piece in the invention is a bulk material, the bulk material has higher crystal quality, and compared with the preparation of an X-ray detector by directly using bulk gallium oxide as a substrate, a gallium oxide photodetector epitaxially grown on the substrate (such as sapphire) has a blue shift of a band gap.
As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the interdigital electrode 20 includes: a Ti layer 21 and a conductive protective layer 22, the Ti layer 21 being connected to the annealed single crystal base sheet 10, the conductive protective layer 22 being connected to the Ti layer 21; the thickness of the Ti layer 21 is 10-20nm, and the thickness of the conductive protection layer 22 is 50-200 nm. The thickness of the Ti layer 21 is smaller than that of the conductive protection layer 22, the conductive protection layer 22 is firmly connected with gallium oxide by using the Ti layer 21, and then the conductive protection layer 22 with high carrier transmission efficiency is connected on the basis of the Ti layer 21, so that the service life of the detector is ensured. In addition, the conductive protection layer 22 may function to protect the Ti layer 21 from oxidation.
Specifically, the conductive protection layer 22 includes: the Au layer or the Al layer, that is, the Au layer electrode may be connected to the Ti layer electrode, and the Al layer electrode may be connected to the Ti layer electrode.
