摘要
该研究采用了一种简便、经济、可扩展的化学气相沉积技术,在玻璃和 n 型硅基底上合成了 p 型 Cu2Se 薄膜。彻底的表征证实了薄膜的 β 相结构具有正确的化学计量比和优异的结晶质量,表现出类似于退变型半导体的行为。测量结果显示,Cu2Se 的功函数为 4.83 eV,带隙为 2.13 eV。通过在 n 型硅衬底上沉积 p 型 Cu2Se 薄膜,实现了 p-Cu2Se/n-Si 异质结的制造。由此产生的异质结显示出整流行为,其能带图类似于肖特基二极管。对其光电特性的进一步研究表明,p-Cu2Se/n-Si 异质结构具有良好的自供电特性,其特点是快速、稳定、可重现、灵敏和稳健的光致发光性能。因此,它非常适合应用于高频光电探测器。此外,p-Cu2Se/n-Si 异质结的光电转换效率超过了 CuO/Si 和 Cu2O/Si 系统的报告值。这项研究为评估对铜2硅/非晶硅异质结构的光电应用前景做出了重要贡献。
Facile synthesis and characterization of Cu2Se thin films and self-powered p-Cu2Se/n-Si heterojunction with high-performance photoresponse
A facile, cost-effective, and scalable chemical vapor deposition technique was used to synthesize p-type Cu2Se thin films on glass and n-type Si substrates. Thorough characterization confirmed the films’ β-phase structure with the correct stoichiometric ratio and exceptional crystalline quality, exhibiting behavior akin to a degenerate semiconductor. Measurements unveiled a work function of 4.83 eV and a bandgap of 2.13 eV for Cu2Se. The fabrication of a p-Cu2Se/n-Si heterojunction was achieved by depositing the p-type Cu2Se thin film onto the n-type Si substrate. The resulting heterostructure displayed rectification behavior, and its energy band diagram resembled a Schottky diode. Further exploration into its photoelectric properties showcased the p-Cu2Se/n-Si heterostructure’s favorable self-powered attribute, characterized by fast, steady, reproducible, sensitive, and robust photoresponsive performance. Consequently, it proves highly suitable for applications in high-frequency photodetectors. Additionally, the p-Cu2Se/n-Si heterojunction’s photovoltaic power conversion efficiency exceeded the reported values of the CuO/Si and Cu2O/Si systems. Here, this study contributes significantly to the pivotal evaluation of p-Cu2Se/n-Si heterostructures for promising optoelectronic applications.
