The energy-band structure and visible photoelectric properties of a p/n-Si doping superlattice structure (DSL) on 6H-SiC were simulated by Silvaco-TCAD. The,n the Si-DSL structures with 40 nm-p-Si/50 nm-n-Si multilayers were successfully prepared on 6H-SiC(0001) Si-face by chemical vapor deposition. TEM characterizations of the p/n-Si DSL confirmed the epitaxial growth of the Si films with preferred orientation and the misfit dislocations with a Burgers vector of 1/3 <21-1> at the p-Si/n-Si interface. The device had an obvious rectifying behavior, and the turn-on voltage was about 1.2 V. Under the visible illumination of 0.6 W/cm², the device demonstrated a significant photoelectric response with a photocurrent density of 2.1 mA/cm². Visible light operation of the Si-DSL/6H-SiC heterostructure was realized for the first time.
利用Silvaco-TCAD软件模拟了6H-SiC上p/n-Si掺杂超晶格结构(DSL)的能带结构和可见光光电特性。然后,通过化学气相沉积法在6H-SiC(0001) Si面上成功制备了具有40 nm-p-Si/50 nm-n-Si多层结构的Si-DSL结构。p/n-Si DSL的TEM表征证实了Si薄膜的择优取向外延生长以及在p-Si/n-Si界面处具有伯格斯矢量为1/3 <21-1>的失配位错。该器件具有明显的整流行为,开启电压约为1.2 V。在0.6 W/cm²的可见光照射下,该器件表现出显著的光电响应,光电流密度为2.1 mA/cm²。首次实现了Si-DSL/6H-SiC异质结构的可见光工作。
