Abstract

In this research, the production of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) was made using various pulsed laser ablation energy (PLA) embedded in substrates made up of porous silicon (PS). The PS substrates were created using the photoelectrochemical etching (PECE) technique of Si n-type (111). The research examined the impact of pulse laser ablation energy for some features on the prepared samples that involved the structural, electrical, optical, and morphological properties in photodetector application. XRD analysis reveals a broad diffraction peak at an angle of 28.4° for the porous silicon with other diffraction peaks at different angles, indicating the presence of the ZnO NPs phase corresponding to the structure of hexagonal wurtzite. The SEM image demonstrates that PS is sponge-like, while ZnO NPs display randomly dispersed spherical grains. The optical characteristics of the fabricated specimens were analyzed using photoluminescence and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy. It was observed that an increase in laser pulse energy results in a shift of the absorption wavelengths and a change in the energy gap. The J-V characteristics of the created specimens were analyzed under two conditions: in dark and light while varying the laser pulse energy. The photodetectors consisting of ZnO NPs/PS/n-Si exhibited rectifying characteristics and remarkable responsivity to a wide range of wavelengths, from UV to near-infrared. Furthermore, the constructed photodetectors exhibited enhanced quantum efficiency (Q.E), specifically in the ultraviolet (UV) range. The results of this research are significant in the progress of optoelectronic and photodetector devices that rely on ZnO NPs and PS.

通过激光烧蚀多孔硅增强氧化锌纳米粒子的光谱响应性
在这项研究中,利用嵌入多孔硅(PS)基底的各种脉冲激光烧蚀能量(PLA)生产了氧化锌纳米粒子(ZnO NPs)。多孔硅衬底是利用硅 n 型(111)的光电化学蚀刻(PECE)技术制作的。研究考察了脉冲激光烧蚀能量对所制备样品某些特征的影响,这些特征涉及光电探测器应用中的结构、电气、光学和形貌特性。XRD 分析表明,多孔硅在 28.4°角处有一个宽衍射峰,其他衍射峰的角度各不相同,这表明存在与六方菱锰矿结构相对应的 ZnO NPs 相。SEM 图像显示 PS 呈海绵状,而 ZnO NPs 则显示出随机分散的球形晶粒。使用光致发光和紫外-可见吸收光谱分析了制备试样的光学特性。结果表明,激光脉冲能量的增加会导致吸收波长的移动和能隙的变化。在两种条件下分析了所制作试样的 J-V 特性:黑暗和光照,同时改变激光脉冲能量。由 ZnO NPs/PS/n-Si 组成的光电探测器表现出整流特性,并对从紫外到近红外的各种波长具有显著的响应性。此外,所构建的光电探测器还显示出更高的量子效率(Q.E),尤其是在紫外线(UV)范围内。这项研究成果对于依赖氧化锌氮氧化物和 PS 的光电和光电探测器设备的发展具有重要意义。

期刊介绍: Plasmonics is an international forum for the publication of peer-reviewed leading-edge original articles that both advance and report our knowledge base and practice of the interactions of free-metal electrons, Plasmons. Topics covered include notable advances in the theory, Physics, and applications of surface plasmons in metals, to the rapidly emerging areas of nanotechnology, biophotonics, sensing, biochemistry and medicine. Topics, including the theory, synthesis and optical properties of noble metal nanostructures, patterned surfaces or materials, continuous or grated surfaces, devices, or wires for their multifarious applications are particularly welcome. Typical applications might include but are not limited to, surface enhanced spectroscopic properties, such as Raman scattering or fluorescence, as well developments in techniques such as surface plasmon resonance and near-field scanning optical microscopy.
