Preparation method of gallium oxide/copper gallium oxygen heterojunction
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductor material preparation, and particularly provides a preparation method of a gallium oxide/copper gallium oxide heterojunction.
Background
The wide-band gap semiconductor gallium oxide material has the outstanding advantages of large band gap, high breakdown field strength, corrosion resistance, radiation resistance and the like, and has important application in the aspects of manufacturing high-efficiency ultraviolet detectors, gas sensors, friendly biosensors, high-frequency, high-power, radiation-resistant and other electronic devices. The copper gallium oxide has excellent material characteristics and wide application prospect. At present, few researches on the preparation of gallium oxide/copper gallium oxide structures are carried out. The commonly used preparation method of the copper-gallium-oxygen material is mainly chemical synthesis or physical vapor deposition, such as sol-gel method, laser pulse deposition or magnetron sputtering. The copper gallium oxide material prepared by the method is mostly in an amorphous state or a polycrystalline state, and the crystal quality is not high, so that the material and the interface characteristics of a gallium oxide/copper gallium oxide structure are not good, and a good heterojunction characteristic cannot be formed. This greatly limits the applications of gallium oxide/copper gallium oxide heterojunctions in probing devices, power devices, optoelectronic devices, and sensing devices.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a method for preparing a gallium oxide/copper gallium oxide heterojunction by using a copper diffusion alloy method, aiming at the problem of lack of effective preparation of a high-quality copper gallium oxide thin film with good process compatibility. The method comprises the steps of pretreating gallium oxide materials, pre-depositing a proper amount of copper source by a proper method or placing the copper source on the surface of a gallium oxide single crystal or a gallium oxide film, then placing the gallium oxide with the copper source in a proper form in a high-temperature tube, and then carrying out heat treatment for a certain time under a certain condition, so that copper atoms can be controllably diffused into the gallium oxide to form corresponding copper-gallium oxygen alloy, and further forming a gallium oxide/copper-gallium-oxygen heterojunction with good interface characteristics with the gallium oxide without copper diffusion.

step 3, pre-depositing a copper source layer on the gallium oxide material or directly covering the copper source layer on the gallium oxide material, wherein the thickness of the copper source layer is 10 nm-10 mu m;
step 4, placing the gallium oxide material treated in the step 1 into a quartz boat or a quartz tube, and keeping the temperature at 700-1300 ℃ and the pressure at 1 multiplied by 10-3Pa~1×106Pa, heat treatment for 1min to 50min under the atmosphere of reducing gas, air, water vapor or nitrogen; taking out after the temperature is reduced to the room temperature;
