摘要
Two-dimensional nano-array structures have been widely used in many optoelectronic devices due to their excellent optical performances. In this work, nano-pillar arrays were fabricated on GaAs substrate by self-assembled monolayer SiO2 nanospheres etching. Monolayer SiO2 nanospheres were self-assembled on GaAs substrate by rotary coating. The order of the nanosphere distribution was improved by improving the oxygen plasma hydrophilic treatment process of GaAs surface, and a large area of tightly arranged monolayer nanosphere was obtained under the power ratio of 100 W+80 W, the chamber pressure of 4 Pa, the oxygen flow rate of 20 mL/min and the etching time of 1 200 s. Taken this monolayer nanosphere as the etching mask, highly ordered GaAs nano-pillar array was then fabricated by inductively coupled plasma etching. The reflectivity of the GaAs nano-pillar array structure was found to be about 5% in a specific band by spectral analysis, which shows that light absorption can be enhanced effectively and can further match the requirements of actual optoelectronic devices. © 2020, Science Press.
