Description

Plasmon-enhanced mercury cadmium telluride infrared detector and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of photoelectric detectors, in particular to a plasmon enhanced mercury cadmium telluride infrared detector and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
With the increasing demand of human beings on photoelectric detectors, especially in recent years, there is a strong demand for new infrared exploration and intelligent sensing in the aspects of artificial intelligence, big data, smart cities and the like, and the size, weight, power consumption and price of the infrared photoelectric detectors are greatly reduced, and the performance of the detectors is improved. The size, weight, power consumption, price and performance of the traditional mercury cadmium telluride infrared detector are greatly limited all the time due to harsh refrigeration conditions. Therefore, to meet the above requirements, infrared photodetectors having revolutionary features must be sought.
Plasmonics is one of the leading edge research fields of micro-nano photonics. By means of the collective motion of the associated electrons in the solid, the plasmon can localize the electromagnetic field energy in a region far smaller than the wavelength, so that the effect of near field enhancement is achieved. Due to the strong interaction of the substance field and the electromagnetic field on the metal-dielectric interface, abundant photon state density exists near the interface, so that the plasmon can greatly enhance the light emission efficiency and the light detection efficiency.
The plasmon-enhanced infrared detector prepared by combining the plasmon and the infrared photoelectric detector can solve the problem of harsh refrigeration conditions of the traditional tellurium-cadmium-mercury infrared detector, for example, a patent named as 'a plasmon-enhanced tellurium-cadmium-mercury microcavity infrared detector and a preparation method' discloses an infrared detector with a specific hierarchical structure and thickness, although the problem of harsh refrigeration conditions is solved, the infrared detector has a narrow infrared absorption range, has strong absorption in a wavelength range of 2.5-4.5 mu m, has the maximum absorption at a position of 3.5 mu m, and cannot detect a wavelength range beyond 2.5-4.5 mu m.
Therefore, the development of the plasmon enhanced mercury cadmium telluride infrared detector with a wider infrared absorption range has important research significance.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention mainly aims to overcome the problem that the existing mercury cadmium telluride infrared detector is narrow in infrared absorption range, and provides a plasmon enhanced mercury cadmium telluride infrared detector. According to the plasmon enhanced mercury cadmium telluride infrared detector, a Fabry-Perot (F-P) resonant cavity is constructed, and excited radiated light waves are kept oscillating back and forth in the resonant cavity, so that the light energy density and the infrared absorption range of the photoelectric detector are improved, the light absorption capacity of the photoelectric detector is further enhanced, and a new method is provided for the research and development of the infrared detector.
The invention also aims to provide a preparation method of the plasmon enhanced mercury cadmium telluride infrared detector.
The invention further aims to provide application of the plasmon enhanced mercury cadmium telluride infrared detector.
In order to achieve the technical purpose, the invention is realized by the following technical scheme:
a plasmon enhanced mercury cadmium telluride infrared detector comprises a substrate, a metal reflecting layer, a passivation layer and a mercury cadmium telluride material layer from bottom to top in sequence; at least 1 metal nano structure and at least 1 pair of electrodes are distributed on the HgCdTe material layer; the thickness of the tellurium-cadmium-mercury material layer is 2100-4000 nm.
In the plasmon-enhanced mercury cadmium telluride infrared detector, the metal reflecting layer, the passivation layer, the mercury cadmium telluride material layer and the metal nano structure form a Fabry-Perot (F-P) resonant cavity, and the Fabry-Perot (F-P) resonant cavity can enable the light waves of the excited radiation to maintain back-and-forth oscillation in the resonant cavity, so that the light energy density and the infrared absorption range of the photoelectric detector are improved, and the light absorption capacity of the whole detector is enhanced.
Researches show that the thickness of a mercury cadmium telluride material layer in a Fabry-Perot (F-P) resonant cavity has a large influence on the size of an infrared absorption range of a plasmon enhanced mercury cadmium telluride infrared detector. The mercury cadmium telluride material layer with a specific thickness can further enhance the back-and-forth oscillation of the optical waves of the stimulated radiation in the resonant cavity body, and improve the optical energy density and the infrared absorption range; if the thickness of the mercury cadmium telluride material layer is less than 2100nm, the infrared absorption range of the infrared detector cannot be widened to 2500-8000 nm; if the thickness of the HgCdTe material layer is too high, the dark current of the infrared detector is too high, interference is caused to signal current, and the infrared absorption range of the infrared detector is further reduced.
In addition, the plasmon enhanced mercury cadmium telluride infrared detector does not need to work under harsh refrigeration conditions, and is favorable for widening the application range of the mercury cadmium telluride infrared detector.
The present invention does not require any particular kind of substrate material, and generally, any substrate and thickness that are conventional in the art can be used in the present invention.
Preferably, the substrate is one or more of silicon, cadmium zinc telluride, cadmium telluride, sapphire or germanium.
Preferably, the thickness of the substrate is 425-625 μm.
The invention has no special requirements on the material type and thickness of the metal reflecting layer, and the conventional metal and thickness in the field can be selected.
Preferably, the metal reflective layer is one or more of an aluminum reflective layer, a silver reflective layer, a gold reflective layer or a platinum reflective layer.

Preferably, the thickness of the tellurium-cadmium-mercury material layer is 2100-3100 nm.
The inventor finds that the change of the arrangement mode and the array period of the metal nano structure hardly influences the light absorptivity and the infrared wavelength range of the plasmon enhanced mercury cadmium telluride infrared detector in multiple test processes. However, the shape of the metal nanostructure may affect the light absorption rate and the infrared wavelength range of the infrared detector, and when the metal nanostructure is in the shape of a disk, the infrared detector may have a higher light absorption rate and an infrared wavelength range. In addition, metallic nanostructured materials commonly used in the art can be used in the present invention.

Preferably, the material of the metal nanostructure is one or more of a gold nanostructure, a silver nanostructure, a platinum nanostructure, or a palladium nanostructure.

Performance test
And (3) testing the light absorption capacity of the infrared detectors prepared in the embodiments and the respective proportions, and scanning the test device by using a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer within the wavelength range of 2500-8000 nm.
Fig. 4 is a light absorption diagram of the plasmon-enhanced mercury cadmium telluride infrared detector of example 1 and the mercury cadmium telluride infrared detector of comparative example 1. As shown in fig. 4, compared with the mercury cadmium telluride infrared detector in the comparative example 1, the light absorption rate of the plasmon-enhanced mercury cadmium telluride infrared detector in the example 1 at the wavelength of 4500nm is improved by about one third, which reaches 90%; the light absorption rate at 6400nm wavelength is improved by more than one time, and the light absorption rate and the light responsivity are maximum at the moment; therefore, the Fabry-Perot (F-P) resonant cavity improves the light absorption and light response capability of the photoelectric detector.
Fig. 5 is light absorption diagrams of the plasmon-enhanced mercury cadmium telluride infrared detectors of examples 1 to 3 and comparative examples 2 to 3, wherein diagrams a and B are light absorption diagrams of the mercury cadmium telluride infrared detectors of comparative examples 2 and 3, respectively, and diagrams C, D and E are light absorption diagrams of the plasmon-enhanced mercury cadmium telluride infrared detectors of examples 2, 1, and 3, respectively. As can be seen from FIG. 5, in a specific thickness range, the thickness of the HgCdTe material layer is increased, so that the infrared absorption range of the infrared detector can be increased; when the thickness of the mercury cadmium telluride material layer reaches 2100nm, the infrared absorption range of the infrared detector can be widened to 2500-8000 nm, which indicates that the thickness of the mercury cadmium telluride material layer in the Fabry-Perot (F-P) resonant cavity has a large influence on the size of the infrared absorption range of the plasmon-enhanced mercury cadmium telluride infrared detector, which may be because the thickness of the mercury cadmium telluride material layer is enhanced, the back-and-forth oscillation of the light wave of the excited radiation in the resonant cavity can be further enhanced, and further the light energy density and the infrared absorption range are further improved.

D is a light absorption diagram of plasmon-enhanced mercury cadmium telluride infrared detectors of different passivation layer thicknesses in examples 1 and 16 to 17. As can be seen from fig. 6, the curves in graphs a-D almost overlap, indicating that the gold disk array period, gold disk radius, gold disk thickness, and passivation layer thickness hardly affect the absorption rate and infrared absorption range of the infrared detector.
