Description

A kind of infrared focal plane detector that improves photoelectric conversion performance
Technical field
The invention belongs to Electronics Science and Technology field, especially relate to a kind of infrared focal plane detector that improves photoelectric conversion performance.
Background technology
Current, the most significant development trend of Infrared Detectors is that optical mechaical scanning imaging technique develops to gazing type imaging technique rapidly.The key of this development is that core component is focal plane device by unit component upgrading.Each developed country all develops infrared focal plane array (IRFPA) technology the huge manpower financial capacity of input.In China, not only at aspects such as resource exploration, environmental monitoring, hazard forecastings, and also especially urgent to the needs of infrared focus plane in the military and national defense field that is related to national security.
High-performance, extensive Infrared Focal plane Array Technologies have become the target of infrared acquisition field development, and the characteristic parameter of weighing infrared focal plane array seeker performance mainly comprises responsiveness, sensitivity, detectivity and signal to noise ratio etc.Wherein, responsiveness refers under certain wavelength, the ratio of the signal of telecommunication of output and the light signal of input.Because current infrared focal plane array is still adopted generally and is tied as its substantially photosensitive unit with pn, utilize the light transfer characteristic of pn knot to convert infrared signal to the signal of telecommunication, and through p electrode and n electrode, signal is exported, therefore in order to improve the responsiveness of infrared focal plane array device, people's expectation enters the incident light of infrared focal plane array and can be tied and be converted to electrical signal completely by pn.
But, for generally adopting at present the prepared n of ion implantation technology +p planar junction device, although after heavily doped n district and Metal Contact, interface potential barrier layer becomes as thin as a wafer, charge carrier can transmit in the mode of tunnelling, thereby has formed " accurate ohmic contact "; But in order to control the tunnelling current of pn knot, p district can not be used heavily doped mode.Under the impact of the factors such as gold, half work function difference and System of Detecting Surface Defects For Material, p electrode interface place tends to form Schottky contacts.This is just equivalent to detector inside and has formed two back-to-back pn junction structures.This schottky junction has the ability that a part of infrared signal is converted to electrical signal, and the photovoltaic signal polarity that it produces is contrary with the photovoltaic signal of pn knot, thereby the signal of telecommunication of output and the ratio of the light signal of input will be reduced, thereby reduce the responsiveness of infrared focal plane array seeker.Particularly p common electrode is looped around around whole pixels, and schottky junction has sizable area, and the impact of generation will be more remarkable.The impact that reduces the opto-electronic conversion of the photosensitive unit of electrode pair becomes an effective way that improves infrared focal plane array device responsiveness.
At present, solving device electrode interface is mainly to make electrode interface form ohmic contact by designing new structure in electrode production process to the method for detector photoelectric conversion efficiency, for example, adopt multiple layer metal metallization processes, introduce and expand. loose barrier layer, form heavy doping epitaxial loayer etc. by evaporating the molten metal semiconductor interface that makes mutually.But these methods still have problems for infrared focal plane array seeker.Mainly because electrode growth is generally the later stage technique that detector is made, but infrared detecting materials particularly the character of low energy gap infrared semiconductor material is very complicated, changeable and fragile, the band structure of surface, interface is easy to be subject to the impact of above-mentioned technical process and changes, and the component failure therefore causing due to electrode fabrication will increase production cost and loss greatly.
Summary of the invention
Object of the present invention be exactly provide in order to overcome the defect that above-mentioned prior art exists one have simply, facilitate, to device not damaged, practical, suppress the impact on the photosensitive first photosignal of detector of photosignal that Interface electric field forms, improved the infrared focal plane detector of the photoelectric conversion efficiency of infrared focal plane detector.

Described N-shaped metal electrode carries out heavy doping, forms ohmic contact with n+ type semi-conducting material.
Described N-shaped metal electrode and the contact-making surface of public electrode are provided with passivation layer.
Compared with prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
(1) photovoltaic effect of based semiconductor device, because p electrode interface schottky junction and photosensitive first pn knot all will produce photovoltaic signal under the irradiation of infrared light, but the polarity of the photovoltaic that schottky junction produces is contrary with pn knot, therefore will reduce the signal of telecommunication of output and the ratio of the light signal of input, thereby reduce the responsiveness of infrared focal plane array seeker.After the shadow shield of public electrode is positioned over light entrance face, by stopping that incident illumination is mapped to the back side of public electrode, reduce by this way the generation of schottky junction photovoltaic, improved the photoelectric conversion efficiency of device.
(2) in the situation that keeping infrared focus plane module basic structure, only need to increase one deck shadow shield outward in infrared focus plane module, have simple, convenient, to device not damaged, practical feature.
