Problems solved by technology

[0002] The introduction of surface microstructures has been successfully applied as a technology to enhance the response of silicon-based detectors in the infrared band. Among them, the method of irradiating the sample surface with a femtosecond laser in a special atmosphere to form a surface microstructure is a very effective method. Near-infrared microstructure technology, the femtosecond laser irradiates the surface of the sample to form a microstructure in a special atmosphere, and a large number of pointed cone-shaped surface microstructures are formed on the silicon surface. At the same time, a supersaturated doped layer, microstructure morphology and supersaturated doped The impurity layer has a good effect on improving the response characteristics of silicon detectors in the near-infrared band, but the process of preparing the microstructure of the sample surface by femtosecond laser irradiation brings some defects in the silicon sample, and these defects affect the silicon-based detector. performance, such as dark current, carrier lifetime, etc.
[0003] The defect treatment of semiconductor materials has always been an important issue in the field of semiconductor materials, and its defects seriously affect the performance characteristics of semiconductor materials. However, there are few such defect suppression methods for new microstructured silicon-based optoelectronic materials. How to control them well It is of great significance to suppress and remove defects without damaging the microstructure morphology and the supersaturated doped layer
