In this research, we first use Nanospherical-Lens Lithography (NLL) to fabricate metal nano-elliptical disk arrays. This method can be used to fabricate a large-area process at a very low cost. The required metal nano-elliptical disk array. In addition, we used the secondary etching process technology of GaN material to fabricate an elliptical nanopillar array of LED. This nanopillar array has previously been proven to be used to make LED that emit linearly polarized light.
This study will use this same elliptical nanopillar structure to further test whether it can be used to measure linearly polarized light. And by adjusting various process parameters, including the ratio of the major axis of the ellipse to the minor axis and the height of the pillar, the maximum polarization selection ratio can be achieved. In addition, we will also study and change the design of some important structures, including the material selection of the electric insulating layer and the light blocking layer, in order to achieve better component performance. In addition, we will also conduct electromagnetic simulation analysis on the target component to further design a more suitable component structure for the application.
In past research, we know that the output light of nanopillar LED is not polarization sective. However, if we evaporation an opaque metal film (such as Ni) between the nanopillars as a light blocking layer, the metal layer reflects a part of the emitted light, and if a layer of Ni metal is coated on the surface an electric insulating layer (such as SiO2) is used to avoid short of components, and then metal electrodes are plated to obtain a nano-LED array with a high polarization selectivity ratio.
We found that if the Ni light-shielding layer and the SiO2 insulating layer are replaced with Ag2S, the process steps can be effectively simplified. This is because when silver reacts chemically with sulfide, insulating silver sulfide is produced. In the atmospheric environment, silver sulfide is a black cubic crystal, which is an opaque material, so it can also be used as a light blocking layer. Therefore, we took Ag2S as the experimental group and tried to simplify the two processes of the light-shielding layer and the sensory layer into one.
Although the polarization selection ratio is not ideal in the experimental analysis, in the end, we obtained a good parameter by simulation analysis results, which can increase the value of the Polarization Difference Ratio of the photodetector to 0.753, and convert it into the Selection Ratio to get Ex : Ey = 7.09, we also found from the simulation that the minor axis must be around 50nm to have a relatively high polarization selection ratio, so we will use the best parameters of the simulation to make our photodetector. |
