Description

超宽禁带Me xSn 1-xO 2合金半导体外延薄膜材料及其制备方法、应用和器件 技术领域
本发明属于半导体光电材料与器件技术领域,具体涉及多种带隙可调的超宽禁带Me xSn 1-xO 2合金半导体外延薄膜材料及其制备方法和在深紫外光探测器中的应用。
背景技术
紫外探测在许多领域都有着极其重要的应用,如高压电网监测、火焰探测、导弹羽烟追踪、天际紫外探测等等。当然目前紫外探测领域也面临着许多问题急需解决,其中最急迫的也是最引人关注的就是深紫外波段光的探测问题,由于这一波段范围内的紫外光波长都小于280nm,传统探测主要以光电倍增管和硅基探测器为主。光电倍增管型探测器体积大、重量重,需要配高压直流电源,导致其难以小型化。对于硅基探测器,由于硅的带隙只有1.1eV,其响应峰值波长在800nm左右,对深紫外线的响应较低。另外,硅探测器也会对可见光产生响应,所以需要配备昂贵的紫外滤光片。为此开发宽禁带的半导体材料是实现高性能深紫外探测器的微型化、集成化所必须的。
常见的超宽禁带半导体材料有氮化铝(6.2eV)、金刚石(5.5eV)、β-Ga 2O 3(4.8eV)、SnO 2(3.6eV)等。虽然目前对超宽禁带半导体材料的研究已有一些进展,但仍然存在以下一些问题。Al xGa 1-xN体系在高Al组分下容易出现相分离和成分偏析;同时施主和受主能级会变深而难以激发;受持续光电导效应的影响,AlGaN基紫外光电探测器的响应速度难以提高。高质量大面积外延生长金刚石一直很困难,另外也缺乏有效的带隙调节手段。β-Ga 2O 3由于其能带结构的原因,其p型掺杂十分困难。SnO 2带隙达到了3.6eV,但是仍然不能满足深紫外波段光的探测要求,所以要对纯的SnO 2进行掺杂以拓宽其带隙。尽管有研究表明少量Zr掺杂SnO 2能增加带隙,但是未见其实现对深紫外线的探测。
基于上述理由,提出本申请。

实施例2
本实施例的一种超宽禁带Me xSn 1-xO 2合金半导体外延薄膜材料,所述Me为Zr,x为0.3。
按照Zr 0.3Sn 0.7O 2这一掺杂配方分别称取SnO 2 14.8102g、ZrO 2 5.1898g进行配料初混,然后将初混后的混合物料倒入球磨罐中并向其中加入占粉末总质量60%左右的无水乙醇,接着放入球磨机中球磨8小时使其充分地均匀混合,然后将已经充分球磨均匀混合的物料进行洗料处理,并转移到蒸发皿中,随后放到干燥箱中进行烘干处理,烘干结束后再将混合物料转移到研钵中并向其中加入占粉末总质量6%左右的无水乙醇作为粘连剂,进行充分的研磨处理使粉末均匀地粘结在一起形成坯料,然后用电磁液压机把坯料在4-6MPa的压力下压制成质量10g左右,厚度2-3mm左右的陶瓷坯片,紧接着把坯片放到管式炉中在1100℃的温度下烧结3小时,最后得到成型的陶瓷靶材。本发明的外延薄膜利用脉冲激光沉积法在c面蓝宝石衬底上制备而成。首先对衬底基片进行清洗,依次分别用丙酮、无水乙醇、去离子水超声清洗15分钟,然后将烧制好的陶瓷靶材和清洗好的蓝宝石衬底一同放入脉冲激光沉积***的腔体中,然后分别用机械泵和分子泵抽取真空以获得10 -4Pa的高真空环境,并且将衬底温度设置为700℃,氧压设置为3Pa,激光能量150-200mJ/pulse,激光脉冲频率为5Hz,沉积时间为15分钟,在此条件和实验参数的设置下进行薄膜生长。薄膜样品制备出来以后分别用X射线衍射仪和光谱仪对其进行表征,分别得到薄膜样品的XRD theta-2theta扫描图谱、XRDφ-扫描图谱、XRD摇摆曲线图谱和透射光谱,分别见附图1、2、3、4。最后将制备出的薄膜样品用真空蒸镀的方法镀上高纯铝质平行电极,首先把薄膜样品放到掩模板上,高纯铝粉放到蒸发舟中,然后一并放入蒸镀仪的真空室中,待机械泵和分子泵抽取得到10 -4Pa级别的高真空环境时打开蒸发源,然后平稳缓慢增加蒸镀电流,等到蒸镀结束后打开放气阀门,待到真空室与外界大气压相等时打开真空室取出样品,得到完整的紫外光探测器件,所述器件包括衬底层、设置在所述衬底层上的Zr 0.3Sn 0.7O 2薄膜层以及设置在所述Zr 0.3Sn 0.7O 2薄膜层上的平行Al电极,其中:所 述蓝宝石衬底厚度为0.43mm,所述Zr 0.3Sn 0.7O 2薄膜层厚度为125nm,所述电极厚度为50nm,所述电极间距为10μm,然后用光电测试***测试该器件的光电性能、电流-时间曲线图(见附图5、6)。
本发明的上述实施例1、实施例2是以不同掺杂比例的陶瓷靶材作为激光烧蚀靶从而制备出不同掺杂比例的Zr xSn 1-xO 2合金半导体外延薄膜,通过对这些薄膜样品进行的XRD表征得到的theta-2theta扫描图谱,即图1可以看出,除了41°左右出现了薄膜衬底氧化铝的特征峰外,在37°-38°和80°左右出现了明显的衍射峰,通过PDF卡片的精确对比可以确定这两个峰分别是SnO 2的(200)、(400)面的衍射峰,除此之外再无其他杂相的衍射峰出现,故可以得出结论:在x为0.05~0.99范围内不同掺杂比例的薄膜样品的掺杂效果都是较为理想的,Zr 4+成功取代了Sn 4+的空间格点位置。通过XRDφ扫描图谱,即图2,可以明显看出,Zr xSn 1-xO 2薄膜在c面蓝宝石衬底上是外延生长的。通过XRD摇摆曲线图谱,即图3,可明显看出Zr xSn 1-xO 2薄膜具有很高的晶体质量。通过光谱仪对这些薄膜样品进行表征得到的透射光谱,即图4,可以明显看出,随着掺杂浓度的增加,薄膜样品的吸收边向短波方向出现了明显的移动,说明随着Zr掺杂浓度的增加Zr xSn 1-xO 2合金的带隙也是不断增大的。从吸收光谱,利用线性外推法得出从Zr 0.05Sn 0.95O 2到Zr 0.3Sn 0.7O 2带隙从4.25eV增大到5.2eV。最后用光电测试***对制备出的完整探测器件进行了光电性能的测试,从电流-时间曲线图中(见附图5)可以看出,当没有光照射时电流值较小,当快速打开挡板,光线照射到器件上时电流值陡然增加,说明器件具有较灵敏快速的光响应效应,能够进行深紫外光强的探测。
通过锆掺杂SnO 2能够解除SnO 2的禁戒跃迁,增强其对深紫外光的响应。本发明制备的Zr 0.3Sn 0.7O 2三元合金单晶薄膜基紫外探测器具有很高的光响应灵敏度,特别是在深紫外波段具有较高的光响应度,达到1.99A/W,同时从电流-时间曲线图6中可以知道,在电流上升阶段的光响应时间为0.25秒,在下降阶段的光响应时间为0.5秒。相比于纯SnO 2的单晶薄膜基紫外探测器,由于Zr xSn 1-xO 2三元合金具有更大的禁带宽度,所以本发明所制备的探测器更适宜深紫外波段光的探测任务,除此之外,对纯SnO 2进行掺锆处理可以有效地增大其电阻率,这对探测器来说是非常有利的因素,因为增大电阻率可以有效降低探测器中的暗电流大小,提高探测器的光探测灵敏度和探测率。掺锆之所以能够有效增大纯SnO 2的电阻率,有两方面的原因,一是因为Zr xSn 1-xO 2三元合金的带隙要比纯SnO 2的带隙大,自然会导致此种合金的电阻率比纯SnO 2的大;二是因为掺锆处理以后可以大幅减小纯SnO 2中的缺陷浓度,比如说氧空位、锡间隙等缺陷的数量,从而有效地降低了纯SnO 2中原本因为缺陷而存在着的背景载流子浓度,使得SnO 2的电阻率大幅增加。不但如此,掺锆处理在大幅降低纯SnO 2缺陷数量的时候一方面可有效增大电阻率,另一方面可以提高因光照而产生的非平衡载流子的复合率。这是因为缺陷数量减少了,使得一些深能级陷阱中心的数量也随之减少,故使得电子和空穴更易复合,这一特性可以有效缩短探测器在光照停止后的回复时间。并且,对比高锆含量器件(图6)和低锆含量器件(所述器件包括衬底层、设置在所述衬底层上的Zr 0.1Sn 0.9O 2薄膜层以及设置在所述Zr 0.1Sn 0.9O 2薄膜层上的平行Al电极,其中:所述蓝宝石衬底厚度为0.43mm,所述Zr 0.1Sn 0.9O 2薄膜层厚度为125nm,所述电极厚度为50nm,所述电极间距为10μm)电流-时 间响应曲线(图7)可以看出,锆掺杂浓度越大,光探测器的电流回复时间越短。
实施例3
一种超宽禁带氧化物合金半导体外延薄膜材料,该材料为Hf xSn 1-xO 2三元合金化合物半导体外延薄膜,包括:SnO 2和HfO 2,其中,x大于0,且小于1。
要想实现对深紫外光波的精确灵敏探测,必须要求探测器材料具有较大的禁带宽度。虽然SnO 2的带隙达到了3.6eV,但是仍然不能满足对深紫外波段光的探测要求。通过对纯SnO 2进行等价阳离子取代掺杂是调节其带隙大小的有效途径。等价阳离子取代要求溶质离子是正四价金属阳离子,且离子半径与Sn 4+的半径相差不大,并且此种金属氧化物的带隙要大于4.43eV,且氧化物晶格类型要与SnO 2的晶格类型相近。综合考量这些因素,本发明选择用Hf 4+部分取代Sn 4+(r(Hf 4+)=0.79埃,r(Sn 4+)=0.71埃,离子半径相差不大;HfO 2的带隙为5.5eV,远大于4.43eV),形成了Hf xSn 1-xO 2合金体系。最终实验证明,通过对纯的SnO 2掺铪能够实现对其带隙调增的目的。
另外,通过对薄膜组分的分析发现Hf 4+在合金中的固溶度很大,其极有可能形成无限固溶置换型固溶体合金体系,这一性质也为我们能够在较大范围内自由调节合金带隙的大小提供了可能,也为成功制备响应探测更短波长紫外线的光探测器件提供了可能。
本实施例所提供的Hf xSn 1-xO 2材料是通过SnO 2和HfO 2按照一定的摩尔比例固溶而成的三元合金化合物半导体,因为深紫外波段的光探测要求为紫外线波长小于280nm,所以要求探测器材料的带隙Eg要不小于4.43eV,因为Hf 4+与Sn 4+化合价相同,离子半径相近,且HfO 2的带隙达到5.5eV、晶格类型与SnO 2的晶格类型也十分接近,所以通过铪离子取代锡离子制备出了置换型Hf xSn 1-xO 2合金体系,实现了对本征SnO 2带隙大小的有效调节,进而实现了对深紫外波段及日盲区的光波强度的精确灵敏探测。

步骤112、向第一混合物料中加入相当于其质量50%~70%的无水乙醇,并球磨3~10小时,得到第二混合物料。
步骤113、将第二混合物料经洗料处理后转移到蒸发皿中,并将蒸发皿放在干燥箱中,对第二混合物料进行烘干处理,得到SnO 2和HfO 2的均匀混合物。
步骤114、将均匀混合物放到研钵中,并向其中加入相当于均匀混合物质量5%~7%的无水乙醇,作为粘连剂,然后进行研磨,得到均匀混合粘结在一起的陶瓷坯料。
步骤115、用电磁液压机在4~6MPa的作用力下,将陶瓷坯料压制成陶瓷坯片。

例如,利用脉冲激光沉积法以c面蓝宝石为衬底制备生长薄膜,首先要对蓝宝石衬底进行超声清洗和干燥处理,具体操作为:依次用丙酮、无水乙醇、去离子水作为清洗液对衬底片进行时间约为10-15分钟的超声处理,然后将清洗过的衬底片用氮气吹干;然后利用脉冲激光沉积法通过激光烧蚀陶瓷靶材物质在衬底上进行薄膜沉积,具体实验参数设置为:薄膜沉积生长温度为100-700℃,氧压0-5Pa,激光能量150-400mJ/pulse。
将所得的薄膜样品用X射线衍射仪和光谱仪等设备对其进行表征,通过对不同掺杂比例的薄膜样品进行在20°-85°范围内的theta-2theta扫描得到其全谱,又对这些薄膜样品进行了ω扫描得到了其摇摆曲线图谱,根据这些图谱可以分析薄膜的物相组成、掺杂情况和薄膜生长质量的信息;并且通过光谱仪的表征得到薄膜样品的透射和吸收光谱,从而可以分析带隙大小与掺杂比例之间的关系,判断掺杂对本征SnO 2带隙大小的调节效果。
本实施例,设备和操作工艺都较为简单便捷,且此种材质的薄膜易于生长,结晶质量很高,对生长环境的要求也较低,适合规模化生产。

实施例9
一种实施例8制得的超宽禁带氧化物合金半导体外延薄膜材料的应用,用于紫外光探测器件中的基质材料。
实施例10
一种紫外光探测器,包括:依次层叠的衬底、基质材料层、平行或叉指电极,基质材料层采用上述超宽禁带氧化物合金半导体外延薄膜作为材料制作而成。
优选的,所述叉指电极为铝质叉指电极。
这里是紫外光探测器,采用的是最简单的金属-半导体-金属(MSM)结构。即在蓝宝石衬底上沉积一层薄膜(在这里就是Hf xSn 1-xO 2薄膜),然后在薄膜表面上蒸镀平行或叉指电极。工作时在两个电极上加上电压,通过光照产生光生电流,从而探测紫外光。
将所得的合金半导体外延薄膜样品利用真空蒸镀的方法镀上高纯铝质平行或叉指电极,首先把薄膜样品放到掩模板上,高纯铝块放到蒸发舟中,然后一并放入蒸镀仪的真空室中,待机械泵和分子泵抽取得到10 -4Pa的高真空环境时打开蒸发源,然后平稳缓慢增加蒸镀电流,等到蒸镀结束后打开放气阀门,待到真空室与外界大气压相等时打开真空室取出样品。然后将制备的完整光探测器件进行真空封装;并用光电测试***测试器件的光电性能,如电流-电压曲线、电流-时间曲线以及光谱响应等等一系列的光电性能。
紫外光探测器之所以能够探测紫外线的强度是基于爱因斯坦光电效应。当光子能量大于等于探测器基质材料的带隙Eg时就会被吸收,激发价带中的电子跃迁到导带,由原来的局域化电子成为非局域化电子,从而可以在整个晶体材料中移动,形成光电流。当某种特定波长的光照射某种具有特定带隙的物质时就会光致激发,使得载流子浓度增加、导电性能增强,并且光照越强导电性能增加就越明显,产生的光生电流就越大,我们可以利用物质的这一光电特性进行光辐射的探测。但是要想实现精确灵敏地对某一波长范围光波的探测,探测器基质材料的带隙不能太小,如果带隙太小的话就会有较大波长范围内的光被吸收,从而不能精确灵敏地探测某一特定波段的光波强度,所以要求探测器基质材料的带隙不能远小于所要探测的光波段的最小光子能量。对于深紫外波段的探测器来说,要求其基质材料带隙不小于4.43eV,故要对本征SnO 2进行掺杂以调大其禁带宽度Eg,从而实现对深紫外波段光波强度的精确灵敏探测。
例如,按照Hf 0.05Sn 0.95O 2这一掺杂比例(摩尔比例)分别称取SnO 2 18.6304g、HfO 2 1.3696g进行配料初混,然后将初混后的混合物料倒入球磨罐中,并向其中加入占粉末总质量60%左右的无水乙醇,接着放入球磨机中球磨8小时,使其充分的均匀混合,然后将已经充分球磨均匀混合的物料进行洗料处理,并转移到蒸发皿中,随后放到干燥箱中进行烘干处理,烘干结束后,再将混合物料转移到研钵中,并向其中加入占粉末总质量6%左右的无水乙醇作为粘连剂,进行充分的研磨处理,使粉末均匀地粘结在一起形成坯料,然后用电磁液压机把坯料在4~6MPa的作用力下压制成质量10g左右、厚度2~3mm左右的陶瓷坯片,紧接着把坯片放到管式炉中在1100℃的温度下烧结3小时,最后得到成型的陶瓷靶材。
利用脉冲激光沉积法在c面蓝宝石衬底上制备薄膜,首先要对衬底进行清洗,依次分别用丙酮、无水乙醇、去离子水超声清洗15分钟,然后将烧制好的陶瓷靶材和清洗好的蓝宝石衬底一同放入脉冲激光沉积***的腔体中,然后分别用机械泵和分子泵抽取真空以获得10 -4Pa级别的高真空环境,并且将衬底温度设置为700℃,氧压设置为3Pa,激光能量150~200mJ/pulse,激光脉冲频率为 5Hz,沉积时间为15分钟,在此条件和实验参数的设置下进行薄膜生长。
薄膜样品制备出来以后,分别用X射线衍射仪(XRD)和光谱仪对其进行表征,分别得到薄膜样品的XRD theta-2theta扫描图谱(如图8所示)以及透射光谱图(如图9所示)。
最后将制备出的薄膜样品用真空蒸镀的方法镀上高纯铝质平行电极,首先把薄膜样品放到掩模板上,高纯铝块放到蒸发舟中,然后一并放入蒸镀仪的真空室中,待机械泵和分子泵抽取得到10 -4Pa级别的高真空环境时打开蒸发源,然后平稳缓慢增加蒸镀电流,等到蒸镀结束,之后打开放气阀门,待到真空室与外界大气压相等时,打开真空室取出样品,得到完整的紫外光探测器件,所述器件包括衬底层、设置在所述衬底层上的Hf 0.05Sn 0.95O 2薄膜层以及设置在所述Hf 0.05Sn 0.95O 2薄膜层上的平行Al电极,其中:所述蓝宝石衬底厚度为0.43mm,所述Hf 0.05Sn 0.95O 2薄膜层厚度为125nm,所述电极厚度为50nm,所述电极间距为10μm,然后用光电测试***测试该器件的光电性能,得到电流-电压曲线图(如图10所示)以及电流-时间曲线图(如图11所示)。
再例如,按照Hf 0.3Sn 0.7O 2这一掺杂比例分别称取SnO 2 12.5107g、HfO 2 7.4893g进行配料初混,然后将初混后的混合物料倒入球磨罐中并向其中加入占粉末总质量60%左右的无水乙醇,接着放入球磨机中球磨8小时,使其充分均匀混合,然后将已经充分球磨均匀混合的物料进行洗料处理,并转移到蒸发皿中,随后放到干燥箱中进行烘干处理,烘干结束后,再将混合物料转移到研钵中,并向其中加入占粉末总质量6%左右的无水乙醇作为粘连剂,进行充分的研磨处理使粉末均匀地粘结在一起形成坯料,然后用电磁液压机把坯料在4~6MPa的作用力下压制成质量10g左右、厚度2~3mm左右的陶瓷坯片,紧接着把坯片放到管式炉中在1100℃的温度下烧结3小时,最后得到成型的陶瓷靶材。
利用脉冲激光沉积法在c面蓝宝石衬底上制备薄膜,首先要对衬底进行清洗,依次分别用丙酮、无水乙醇、去离子水超声清洗15分钟,然后将烧制好的陶瓷靶材和清洗好的蓝宝石衬底一同放入脉冲激光沉积***的腔体中,然后分别用机械泵和分子泵抽取真空以获得10 -4Pa级别的高真空环境,并且将衬底温度设置为700℃,氧压设置为3Pa,激光能量150~200mJ/pulse,激光脉冲频率为5Hz,沉积时间为15分钟,在此条件和实验参数的设置下进行薄膜生长。
薄膜样品制备出来以后分别用X射线衍射仪和光谱仪对其进行表征,分别得到薄膜样品的XRD theta-2theta扫描图谱(如图8所示)以及透射光谱图(如图9所示)。
最后将制备出的薄膜样品用真空蒸镀的方法镀上高纯铝质平行电极,首先把薄膜样品放到掩模板上,高纯铝块放到蒸发舟中,然后一并放入蒸镀仪的真空室中,待机械泵和分子泵抽取得到10 -4Pa级别的高真空环境时打开蒸发源,然后平稳缓慢增加蒸镀电流,等到蒸镀结束后打开放气阀门,待到真空室与外界大气压相等时打开真空室取出样品,得到完整的紫外光探测器件,所述器件包括衬底层、设置在所述衬底层上的Hf 0.3Sn 0.7O 2薄膜层以及设置在所述Hf 0.3Sn 0.7O 2薄膜层上的平行Al电极,其中:所述蓝宝石衬底厚度为0.43mm,所述Hf 0.3Sn 0.7O 2薄膜层厚度为125nm,所述电极厚度为50nm,所述电极间距为10μm,然后用光电测试***测试该器件的光电性能,得到电流-电压曲线图(如图12所示)以及电流-时间曲线图(如图13所示)。
上述例子是以不同掺杂比例的陶瓷靶材作为激光烧蚀靶,从而制备出不同掺杂比例的Hf xSn 1-xO 2合金半导体外延薄膜,通过对这些薄膜样品进行的XRD表征得到的XRD theta-2theta扫描图谱可以看出(如图8所示),除了41°左右出现了薄膜衬底氧化铝的特征峰外,在37°~38°和80°左右均出现了明显的衍射峰,通过PDF卡片的精确对比,可以确定这两个峰分别是Hf xSn 1-xO 2的(200)、(400)面的衍射峰,除此之外再无其他杂相的衍射峰出现,故可以得出结论:不同掺杂比例的薄膜样品的掺杂效果都是较为理想的,Hf 4+成功取代了Sn 4+的空间格点位置。
通过光谱仪对这些薄膜样品进行表征,从得到的透射和吸收光谱可以明显看出(如图9所示),随着Hf掺杂浓度的增加,薄膜样品的吸收边向短波方向出现了明显的移动,说明随着Hf掺杂浓度的增加,Hf xSn 1-xO 2合金的带隙也是不断增大的,从吸收光谱利用线性外推法得出的光学带隙结果显示:从Hf 0.05Sn 0.95O 2到Hf 0.3Sn 0.7O 2,合金带隙从4.13eV增大到4.63eV。
最后,用光电测试***对制备出的完整探测器件进行了光电性能测试。
其中,根据Hf 0.05Sn 0.95O 2和Hf 0.3Sn 0.7O 2的电流-电压曲线图(如图10和12所示)可以看出,通过对纯SnO 2进行掺铪处理可以有效地增大其电阻率,且随着掺杂浓度的增大,电阻率也增加得越明显。
如图10和图12所示,Hf 0.3Sn 0.7O 2的电阻率远大于Hf 0.05Sn 0.95O 2,其倍比高达10 8。这一特性对探测器来说是非常有利的因素,因为增大电阻率,可以有效降低探测器中的暗电流大小,提高探测器的光探测灵敏度和探测率。掺铪之所以能够有效增大纯SnO 2的电阻率,有两方面的原因:一是因为Hf xSn 1-xO 2三元合金的带隙要比纯SnO 2的带隙大,自然会导致电阻率比纯SnO 2的大;二是因为掺铪处理以后,可以大幅度减小纯SnO 2中的缺陷浓度,比如氧空位、锡间隙等缺陷的数量,从而有效降低纯SnO 2中原本因为缺陷而存在着的背景载流子浓度,使得SnO 2的电阻率大幅增加。
根据电流-时间曲线图(如图11和13所示)可以看出,当没有光照射时,电流值较小,当快速打开挡板让光线照射到器件上时,电流值陡然增加,说明器件具有较灵敏快速的光响应效应,能够进行深紫外光强的探测。即从电流-时间曲线图(如图11和13所示)可以看出,本发明制备的Hf xSn 1-xO 2三元合金单晶薄膜基紫外光探测器具有较高的光响应灵敏度,当没有光照时暗电流值较小,当光照射到探测器上时电流值猛然增加,然后快速达到恒定值。
对比两种不同铪掺杂比例的探测器,最明显的区别就是光响应时间的长短,特别是在电流下降阶段,Hf 0.3Sn 0.7O 2的回复时间明显短于Hf 0.05Sn 0.95O 2的回复时间,这是因为对纯SnO 2进行掺铪处理,在大幅降低纯SnO 2缺陷数量的时候,一方面可以有效增大电阻率,另一方面又可以提高非平衡载流子的复合率,这是因为缺陷数量减少了的同时也使得一些深能级陷阱中心的数量得到显著减少,从而使电子和空穴更易复合,这一特性有效地缩短了探测器在停止光照后的回复时间,且铪掺杂浓度越大回复时间越短。
综上所述,通过铪掺杂SnO 2能够解除SnO 2的禁戒跃迁,增强其对深紫外光的响应。对SnO 2进行掺铪处理,一方面可以增大其带隙Eg的大小,使得其更适宜在深紫外波段进行探测;二来可以有效地增大纯SnO 2的电阻率,降低探测器中的暗电流大小,提高探测器的光响应灵敏度和探测 率;三可以有效减少纯SnO 2中的缺陷浓度,特别是深能级陷阱中心的数量,从而极大地提高电子和空穴的复合率,缩短探测器的回复时间,显著提高探测器的性能。

按照Si 0.88Sn 0.12O 2这一掺杂配方分别称取SnO 2 7.726g、SiO 2 12.274g进行配料初混,然后将初混后的混合物料倒入球磨罐中并向其中加入占粉末总质量60%左右的无水乙醇,接着放入球磨机中球磨8小时使其充分地均匀混合,然后将已经充分球磨均匀混合的物料进行洗料处理,并转移到蒸发皿中,随后放到干燥箱中进行烘干处理,烘干结束后再将混合物料转移到研钵中并向其中加入占粉末总质量6%左右的无水乙醇作为粘连剂,进行充分的研磨处理使粉末均匀地粘结在一起形成坯料,然后用电磁液压机把坯料在4-6MPa的压力下压制成质量10g左右,厚度2-3mm左右的陶瓷坯片,紧接着把坯片放到管式炉中在1100℃的温度下烧结3小时,最后得到成型的陶瓷靶材。本 发明的外延薄膜利用脉冲激光沉积法在c面蓝宝石衬底上制备而成。首先对衬底基片进行清洗,依次分别用丙酮、无水乙醇、去离子水超声清洗15分钟,然后将烧制好的陶瓷靶材和清洗好的蓝宝石衬底一同放入脉冲激光沉积***的腔体中,然后分别用机械泵和分子泵抽取真空以获得10 -4Pa的高真空环境,并且将衬底温度设置为650℃,氧压设置为2Pa,激光能量150-300mJ/pulse,激光脉冲频率为5Hz,沉积时间为30分钟,在此条件和实验参数的设置下进行薄膜生长。薄膜样品制备出来以后分别用X射线衍射仪和光谱仪对其进行表征,分别得到薄膜样品的XRD theta-2theta扫描图谱、透射光谱图,分别见附图14、15。最后将制备出的薄膜样品用真空蒸镀的方法镀上高纯铝质平行电极,首先把薄膜样品放到掩模板上,高纯铝粉放到蒸发舟中,然后一并放入蒸镀仪的真空室中,待机械泵和分子泵抽取得到10 -4Pa级别的高真空环境时打开蒸发源,然后平稳缓慢增加蒸镀电流,等到蒸镀结束后打开放气阀门,待到真空室与外界大气压相等时打开真空室取出样品,得到完整的紫外光探测器件,所述器件包括衬底层、设置在所述衬底层上的Si 0.88Sn 0.12O 2薄膜层以及设置在所述Si 0.88Sn 0.12O 2薄膜层上的平行Al电极,其中:所述蓝宝石衬底厚度为0.43mm,所述Si 0.88Sn 0.12O 2薄膜层厚度为120nm,所述电极厚度为50nm,所述电极间距为10μm,然后用光电测试***测试器件的光电性能、电流-时间曲线图(见附图18、19)。
本发明的这些实施例是以不同掺杂比例的陶瓷靶材作为激光烧蚀靶从而制备出不同掺杂比例的Si xSn 1-xO 2合金半导体外延薄膜,通过对这些薄膜样品进行的XRD表征得到的衍射图谱,即图14可以看出,Si 0.12Sn 0.88O 2薄膜在34°和72°左右出现了明显的衍射峰,通过PDF卡片的精确对比可以确定这两个峰分别是SnO 2的(101)、(202)面的衍射峰,除此之外再无其他杂相的衍射峰出现,而Si 0.88Sn 0.12O 2薄膜除了衬底峰外无其他衍射峰,故可以得出结论:在x为~0.12时,薄膜为单晶薄膜;而当x含量较高~0.88,薄膜转变为非晶薄膜。通过光谱仪对这些薄膜样品进行表征得到的透射光谱,即图15,可以明显看出,随着掺杂浓度的增加,薄膜样品的吸收边向短波方向出现了明显的移动,说明随着Si掺杂浓度的增加Si xSn 1-xO 2合金的带隙也是不断增大的。从吸收光谱,利用线性外推法得出从Si 0.12Sn 0.88O 2到Si 0.88Sn 0.12O 2带隙从3.3eV增大到5.2eV。最后用光电测试***对制备出的完整探测器件进行了光电性能的测试,从电流-时间曲线图中(见附图16、17、18、19)可以看出,当没有光照射时电流值较小,当快速打开挡板,光线照射到器件上时电流值陡然增加,说明器件具有较灵敏快速的光响应效应,能够进行深紫外光强的探测。特别是非晶的Si 0.88Sn 0.12O 2探测器,响应速度得到了明显提升。
通过Si掺杂SnO 2能够解除SnO 2的禁戒跃迁,增强其对深紫外光的响应。本发明制备的非晶Si 0.88Sn 0.12O 2三元合金薄膜基紫外探测器具很快的光电响应速度,从电流-时间曲线(图19)中可以知道,在电流上升和下降阶段的光响应时间均小于0.2秒。相比于纯SnO 2的单晶薄膜基紫外光探测器,由于Si xSn 1-xO 2三元合金具有更大的禁带宽度,所以本发明所制备的探测器更适宜深紫外波段的紫外光探测任务,除此之外,对纯SnO 2进行掺硅处理可以有效地增大其电阻率,这对探测器来说是非常有利的因素,因为增大电阻率可以有效降低探测器中的暗电流大小,提高探测器的光探测灵敏度和探测率。掺硅之所以能够有效增大纯SnO 2的电阻率,有两方面的原因,一是因为Si xSn 1-xO 2 三元合金的带隙要比纯SnO 2的带隙大,自然会导致此种合金的电阻率比纯SnO 2的大;二是因为掺硅处理以后可以大幅减小纯SnO 2中的缺陷浓度,比如说氧空位、锡间隙等缺陷的数量,从而有效地降低了纯SnO 2中原本因为缺陷而存在着的背景载流子浓度,使得SnO 2的电阻率大幅增加。不但如此,掺硅处理在大幅降低纯SnO 2缺陷数量的时候一方面可有效增大电阻率,另一方面可以提高因光照而产生的非平衡载流子的复合率。这是因为缺陷数量减少了,使得一些深能级陷阱中心的数量也随之减少,故使得电子和空穴更易复合,这一特性可以有效缩短探测器在光照停止后的回复时间。并且,对比高硅含量器件(图19)和低硅含量器件电流-时间响应曲线(图17)可以看出,硅掺杂浓度越大,光探测器的电流回复时间越短。特别地,非晶薄膜由于存在大量结构畸变缺陷作为复合中心,能有效促进光生载流子复合,从而显著缩短器件回复时间(图19)。
另外,本实施例所提供的紫外光探测器件的电极是采用真空蒸镀法蒸镀的铝质电极,操作工艺简单且易于掌握,同时制备整个探测器件的原材料价廉且易得,所以本实施例对深紫外以及日盲区的紫外光探测具有很重要的意义。
以上所述仅为本发明的较佳实施例,并不用以限制本发明,凡在本发明的精神和原则之内,所作的任何修改、等同替换、改进等,均应包含在本发明的保护范围之内。
