Description

A kind of infrared detector structure that improves spectrum evenness
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of structure of Infrared Detectors, particularly a kind of infrared detector structure and preparation method who improves response spectrum evenness.
Background technology
Modern infrared detection technique is significant to national economy social development.Development along with remote sensing instrument technology, from point target detection, scanning imagery, multispectral scanner imaging, develop into Hyper spectral Imaging, Infrared Detectors also by single band unit component, multicomponent device, multiband line array device to single band infrared focus plane, multiband infrared focus plane and dexterous type integrated detector assembly future development.On the one hand, Infrared Detectors has irreplaceable effect aspect earth observation.On the other hand, the device centre-to-centre spacing of infra-red focus planar chip by hundreds of micron to tens even tens microns stride forward.When device architecture size and photon wavelength is close or within an order of magnitude time, the fluctuation of photon starts the performance of device to produce material impact.Now, classical cadmium-telluride-mercury infrared detector photoelectric respone theory is no longer suitable for designing the Long Wave Infrared Probe of this small size, the photoelectric properties of device are not only relevant with material parameter, the geometry of device, surrounding enviroment depend on structure and the process thereof of detector to the evenness of the response spectrum of device performance also important, particularly device.
Abroad, US and European all successful development HgCdTe infrared focal plane detector.2004 Nian, U.S. Rockwell Developed 512 * 512 LONG WAVE INFRARED focal plane components, the area of chip is 36 μ m * 36 μ m, cut-off wavelength is 9.6 μ m.384 * 288 mercury cadmium telluride LONG WAVE INFRARED focal planes of France Sofradir development of company, cellar area is 25 μ m * 25 μ m, response wave band is 7.7 μ m-9.0 μ m.Germany resource environment satellite BIRD1 has adopted 2 * 512 mercury cadmium telluride Linear FPA chips, and response wave band is 8.5 μ m-9.3 μ m, and cellar area is 30 μ m * 30 μ m.China FY-2 D star (transmitting in the end of the year 2006) adopts the cadmium-telluride-mercury infrared detector of double base, and long wave band is 10.3 μ m-11.3 μ m and 11.5 μ m-12.5 μ m, and cellar area is 82 μ m * 82 μ m.Although AlGaAs/GaAs quantum trap infrared detector has also had very great development in recent years, array scale is up to 640 * 480, and due to its lower external quantum efficiency, and general required working temperature is lower.These infrared focus planes have a common feature above, are exactly that its cell size and peak response wavelength are all within an order of magnitude.Can predict, the cell size of device also can be more and more less.
Opto-electronic device, when small size, has produced many non-linear phenomenas [1-10].Within 2008, Univ Nottingham UK has reported Novel hot Electron Heat radiation detector (HEB), and operating frequency is that 150-200GHz(corresponding wavelength is 1.5-2mm), provided the device architecture [9] after optical coupled is optimized.In addition, Britain research group finds in far infrared band (30-300 μ m) detector, and when the size of device is at hundreds of micron during to 1 millimeter, the geometric configuration of device needs to optimize, to obtain optimum optical coupling efficiency [10].After cadmium-telluride-mercury infrared detector peak response wavelength is elongated and chip area diminishes, it is outstanding that the fluctuation of photon also becomes, and the evenness of response device rate and response spectrum shows the feature relevant to response wave length, and the inhomogeneities of die response increases simultaneously.And for super spectral instrument, evenness and the uniformity of die response spectrum spectral pattern, to a certain extent, more important than the height of chip detectivity.Foreign literature also has a small amount of report to this phenomenon: the increase of response wave length will make the evenness variation of response, by at chip photosurface superficial growth one deck anti-reflection film with increase some short grained structures on substrate, can improve the evenness [11-12] of response.The mercury cadmium telluride LONG WAVE INFRARED photocon of Tu1Shi U.S. NASA report, has or not the response spectrum [12] of anti-reflection film on photosurface.From Fig. 1 (a), device peak response wavelength is greater than 10 microns, and near peak value, response curve limpens; On device photosurface, grow after anti-reflection film, can improve near the evenness (as shown in Fig. 1 (b)) responding peak value; But in its response wave band, along with the increase of wavelength, the evenness of response is also very undesirable.Tracing it to its cause, is the fluctuation of not considering infrared photon, does not recognize that non-photosensitivity sensillary area territory also can produce larger impact to the optical field distribution of photo sensitive area.
The present invention proposes a kind of comparatively simple and effective device architecture, by around photo sensitive area, retain the material that a part is identical with photo sensitive area optical property, substantially eliminate the non-linear of response spectrum spectrum shape, improved the evenness of spectrum.

Summary of the invention
The object of the invention is to propose a kind of infrared detector structure that can improve response evenness, this structure and common semiconductor device technology are compatible, efficiently solve conventional Infrared Detectors, particularly the response spectrum of Long Wave Infrared Probe is composed " multimodal " technical problem of shape: within the scope of response wave band, not a comparatively level and smooth straight line, but show, there is the curve comparatively obviously rising and falling.
The structural representation of the Infrared Detectors with the evenness of improving response spectrum that this patent proposes as shown in Figure 2.It comprises metal electrode 1, substrate 2, light sensitive area 3 and other medium 4.Metal electrode 1 is positioned at the right and left of rectangular light sensitizing range 3, and other medium 4 is positioned at the both sides up and down of rectangular light sensitizing range 3.
Other described medium 4 adopts the material identical with light sensitive area; In electricity, isolate with metal electrode and light sensitive area.
Metal electrode 1 adopts alloy structure, as cadmium and golden double-decker; Substrate 2 adopts sapphire or other comparatively hard insulating material; Light sensitive area 3 adopts the material to LONG WAVE INFRARED sensitivity, such as modal be mercury cadmium telluride.
Infrared Detectors preparation method of the present invention is as follows:
The material wafers (take long wave mercury cadmium telluride and detector below as example) of single-sided polishing the good Infrared Detectors of surface treatment is bonded in Sapphire Substrate with epoxy resin paster, and the thickness of epoxy resin, after compressing tablet, is generally less than 2 microns; The second face of Hgcdte is carried out to rough polishing to 50 micron left and right, carry out subsequently Chemical Physics polishing (essence is thrown), until 8~15 microns.The second face to Hgcdte carries out the passivation technologies such as anodic oxidation.Carry out photoetching for the first time and carry out chemical etching technology, first in surface corrosion, go out metal electrode region, then use magnetically controlled sputter method at metal electrode region growing Ohm contact electrode, then remove photoresist and clean surface.Then carry out photoetching for the second time and at non-electrode surface growth anti-reflection film, the thickness of anti-reflection film can be determined by the response peak wavelength of Infrared Detectors.Finally carry out photoetching for the third time and etching technics, light sensitive area 3 and other medium 4 regions are separated.For mercury cadmium telluride long wave material, when component x=0.205, its absorption coefficient=1660cm -1; The mercury cadmium telluride thickness of long-wave light-guide device is generally 10 μ m left and right, and incident light, after incident and bottom reflection, is approximately 3.5% the wide of plane of incidence outgoing like this.
Incident light is in the generation incident of mercury cadmium telluride photosurface and reflection, and catoptrical relative intensity is relevant with the refractive index of mercury cadmium telluride.Get mercury cadmium telluride n=3.6 when long wave, during normal incidence, reflectivity is 31.9%.Incident light also reflects the non-photosensitivity face place at device, and this major part will occur in the surface of jewel sheet.Look into handbook known, at 12 μ m places, sapphire reflectivity is approximately 85%.Due to the fluctuation of long wave photon, very strong with the coherence of the long wave photon at contiguous jewel sheet place at the long wave photon at mercury cadmium telluride photosurface place, coherence length is approximately tens-hundreds of micron, and the photosurface of this yardstick and long-wave light-guide device is roughly the same.Therefore, long wave photon will interfere phenomenon on photocon surface, and this has caused the multimodal phenomenon in response spectrum.The practical devices pictorial diagram finally obtaining, as shown in Figure 4.In Fig. 4, by around photosurface, reservation formation has " enclosure wall " shape, the dielectric material the same with photosurface optical properties of materials (as other medium 4 regions in Fig. 2), the light that incides " enclosure wall " part will be substantially by mercury cadmium telluride Intrinsic Gettering, there is no reverberation, this has just eliminated the strong reverberation that originally comes from Sapphire Substrate substantially, also just eliminated the uneven distribution phenomenon of the light field that infrared photon occurs between photosensitive region and other region, so just improved the evenness of response spectrum, substantially eliminated " multimodal " phenomenon of spectrum shape.Meanwhile, due to " enclosure wall " structure and photo sensitive area electric isolation, so can not produced photogenerated current by the infrared photon of other medium 4 region material institute Intrinsic Getterings.
The response spectrum that adopt " enclosure wall " structure shown in Fig. 4, has a Long Wave Infrared Probe that improves response spectrum evenness as shown in Figure 5.From Fig. 1 and Fig. 5, contrasted, in the wave band of intrinsic response, the response spectrum of device has good evenness, has substantially eliminated " multimodal " phenomenon.
The invention has the advantages that: the response spectrum of the Infrared Detectors that first invention proposes can have good evenness; The non-photosensitivity region of second this structure can adopt the material identical with photosensitive region optical property, can adopt commaterial; The 3rd this structure and technique thereof are all comparatively simple, substantially can not increase the complexity of technique or affect the rate of finished products of chip.
