Inventor: ZHIPENG WEI
IPC: H01L31/18
Filed: 2022-11-08
Abstract: The present invention belongs to the technical field of new materials. Provided is a preparation method of a detector material. In the present invention, by means of a surface of a gallium arsenide substrate having an epitaxial buffer layer, and depositing a silicon dioxide layer on the buffer layer, then using photoetching and etching techniques to etch the silicon dioxide layer onto the buffer layer in a strip-shaped pattern, a strip-shaped growth area with continuously changing width is formed; finally, epitaxial growth of a detector material in the strip-shaped growth area is carried out under a set epitaxial growth condition parameter utilizing molecular beam epitaxy techniques. Since the mobility of atoms reaching the surface of the substrate is unchanged, the differing widths of the strip-shaped growth area cause the number of atoms migrating to the strip-shaped growth area to differ, so the components of the material are changed with the changes in the width of the strip-shaped growth area, or the layer thickness changes with the changes in the width of the strip-shaped growth area. A high-quality material can be provided using the semiconductor material preparation method provided by the present invention, and the development and application of multi-color and wide-spectrum detectors are promoted.
