Topological insulator array photodetector based on graphene-like two-dimensional material protection layer and its preparation method and application

Abstract

The invention discloses a graphene two-dimensional material protective layer-based topological insulator array photoelectric detector and a preparation method and application thereof. The method comprises the following preparation process of (1) growing a topological insulator film which is opposite to a substrate in doping type on the substrate; (2) obtaining a graphene two-dimensional material protective layer / PMMA stack structure by adopting a wetting transfer method and transferring the graphene two-dimensional material protective layer / PMMA stack structure to the topological insulator film; (3) preparing an ITO array electrode through photoetching and magnetron sputtering; and (4) etching away the topological insulator film between array elements of the ITO array electrode and a graphene two-dimensional material through photoetching and reactive ion etching to obtain the photoelectric detector. According to the method, a topological insulator can be effectively prevented from being in direct contact with an organic liquid to be damaged, the method can be compatible with a traditional micro-nano technology, the dimension of the unit detector is shortened, the integration level is improved, a wide spectrum and an ultra-fast photoelectric response are obtained and the method has a wide application prospect.

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] Experiments have found that topological insulator thin films are easily affected by chemical reagents such as acetone, isopropanol, and developer, and the surface lattice structure is destroyed, and the inherent excellent properties of topological insulators are severely damaged.

This disadvantage seriously affects the compatibility of topological insulators with existing micro-nano processing techniques, and increases the difficulty of topological insulators entering practical applications.
