研究目的
Investigating the performance improvement of silicon-based compound semiconductor heterojunction photodetectors using graphene as a transparent electrode.
研究成果
The introduction of graphene as a transparent electrode significantly improved the performance of InSb/Si heterojunction photodetectors, achieving broadband photoresponse and high performance metrics. This demonstrates the potential of graphene in enhancing the efficiency of silicon-based photodetectors for infrared applications.
研究不足
The study acknowledges the limitation of the InSb films being polycrystalline, which affects their electrical conductivity and carrier mobility compared to single crystal InSb. Additionally, the large lattice mismatch and thermal expansion coefficient difference between InSb and Si substrates could lead to defects affecting device performance.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the fabrication of Gr/InSb/Si photodetectors using a one-step evaporation coating method for InSb thin film growth on silicon wafers and the transfer of graphene as a transparent electrode.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Lightly P-type doped Si〈100〉wafers with a 300 nm SiO2 layer were used as substrates.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included electron beam evaporation equipment for InSb film growth, a spin coater for PMMA application, and a semiconductor analyzer (Keithley SCS4200) for photoresponse measurement. Materials included InSb powder, graphene, and PMMA.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The process involved the growth of InSb film on silicon substrates, transfer of graphene onto the InSb film, and fabrication of the photodetector device. Photoresponse measurements were conducted under ambient conditions.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The performance of the photodetectors was evaluated based on responsivity, specific detectivity, on/off ratio, rise time, and cut-off frequency.
