Embodiment
The present invention is described in further details below in conjunction with accompanying drawing.
The problem of operation power consumption is high, time-consuming is resetted for traditional dose detector, proposition of the invention is a kind of to have half to float The plane doping barrier transistor gamma-rays dose detector of grid structure.Resetting operation can be quick complete under low-voltage biasing Into.
Technical scheme is as follows:
A kind of semiconductor gamma-rays dose detector based on half floating transistor, its structure is symmetrical above and below, including half floating Grid and plane doping potential barrier transistor.
Half FGS floating gate structure embedded in the plane doping barrier transistor control gate and raceway groove between, and with raceway groove P-type doping potential barrier layer directly contacts, and doping type is identical.
P-type doping potential barrier layer and its both sides n-type doped channel form detector sensitive volume, in consumption after detector reset State to the greatest extent.
The operating method of the roentgen dose X detector is:
1) reset of detector:Apply suitable positive bias in control gate, source electrode applies back bias voltage, grounded drain, promoted Pn-junction forward bias between half FGS floating gate structure and n-type channel, remove the hole being stored on half floating boom.Operation is resetted to complete When, half floating gate potential reduces, and n-type channel is completely depleted.
2) irradiation produces the collection of electric charge:All electrodes ground connection of detector or floating, γ or X ray incide during being somebody's turn to do Detector sensitive volume, electronics caused by ionization flow out under electric field action from the source electrode of detector and drain electrode, and hole is via raceway groove ZhongpXing doping potential barriers area is moved to half FGS floating gate structure, and is ultimately stored on half floating boom.Hole accumulation causes to detect on half floating boom Device threshold voltage shift.
3) reading of detector signal:Drained in detector and apply fixed current, read threshold value electricity after detector predose Pressure, demarcated with detector threshold voltage variation amount and absorb dose of radiation.
The present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:
Half floating transistor gamma-rays dose detector of the invention, based on plane doping barrier transistor, as shown in figure 1, Traditional double grid type plane doping barrier transistor structure is symmetrical above and below, comprising:N-type channel 1, raceway groove intermediate p-type doping potential barrier layer 2, drain region 3 and source region 4 of the raceway groove both sides for n-type heavy doping.Channel surface covers a layer insulating 5, and surface of insulating layer has control Grid 6.The present invention introduces half floating boom 7 in said structure, and such as Fig. 2, half floating boom is embedded in the control of plane doping barrier transistor It is local directly to be contacted with raceway groove inner p-type doping potential barrier layer in insulating barrier between grid and raceway groove, insulating barrier is divided into top layer Insulating barrier 8 and bottom insulating barrier 9.Half floating boom doping type and concentration are identical with p-type doping potential barrier layer.
The n-type channel 1 is radiation detection sensitive volume, is synthesized using silicon, or wide-band gap material carborundum, chemical gas shallow lake method Diamond, half floating boom 7 directly contact with p-type doping potential barrier layer 2 in raceway groove, using with the identical material of n-type channel 1.Top layer is exhausted The charge loss that edge layer 8 and bottom insulating barrier 9 prevent from collecting in half floating boom is to control gate and n-type channel, using silica, nitrogen SiClx, or other high dielectric constant materials.Control gate 6 uses polysilicon or metal electrode.
The concrete operation method that reset, irradiation based on the detector and signal are read is:
The reset mode of detector:Apply 1~2V positive bias in control gate, source electrode applies -0.5~-1V negative bias Pressure, grounded drain.The now pn-junction forward bias between p-type barrier layer and n-type channel, initial storage pass through in the hole on floating boom P-type doping potential barrier laminar flow is crossed to source electrode.Complete when resetting operation, when all electrodes are grounded, reduced because floating boom loses hole potential, The how sub- electronics on n-type channel surface under longitudinal electric field effect towards moving among raceway groove, and in raceway groove p-type doping potential barrier presence Transverse electric field is produced again, forces electronics to be moved to potential barrier both sides, finally whole n-type channel is completely depleted.
Irradiation produces the collection mode of electric charge:After detector resets, n-type channel and p-type doping potential barrier layer are all in consumption State to the greatest extent.When γ or X ray are incided in detector, because incident photon energy is higher than semiconductor ionization energy, semiconductor will be made Material ionization produces a large amount of electron hole pairs.Electron hole pair caused by most of irradiation can be compound immediately, and is produced in depletion region Raw electron hole pair separates under electric field action, obtains irradiated electrons hole creation rate GrWith the pass between electric-field intensity E System is as follows:
Gr=g0D·Y(E)
Wherein g0Speed, in Si materials, g are produced for electron hole in semiconductor0=4.2 × 1013rad-1cm-3, for 4H-SiC materials g0=2 × 1013rad-1cm-3.D is radiation dose rate, E0、E1It is constant with m.For Co60Gamma-rays, E1= 0.65MV/cm, m=0.9;For X ray, E1=1.35MV/cm, m=0.9.E0=Y0E1, Y at room temperature0=0.05.This literary grace Use Co60Gamma-rays carries out simulation study to detector.
In irradiation process, device laterally can be shown with such as Fig. 3 (a) along raceway groove axis, because lightly doped n-type raceway groove embeds Enter p-type doping potential barrier layer, can be with triangular in shape.Irradiation in n-type channel caused electronics from high to low from the leakage of potential barrier both sides Pole and source electrode outflow, and hole then focuses on p-type doping potential barrier layer from low to high.Fig. 3 (b) is shown along p-type doping potential barrier layer Longitudinal direction can be with distribution, it is seen that because p-type doping potential barrier layer is also at spent condition in irradiation process, compared to its electronic energy of half floating boom Measure relatively low, potential is higher, therefore hole will be further from p-type doping potential barrier laminar flow to half floating boom, and is ultimately stored on half floating boom On.
Store to the hole on half floating boom and raised half floating gate potential, will further reduce p-type doping potential barrier in raceway groove The barrier height of layer.As Fig. 4 shows the change of raceway groove energy band after predose.
The playback mode of detector signal:Detector of the present invention uses fixed current method reading device threshold voltage, uses spoke Variable quantity demarcation according to front and rear threshold voltage absorbs dose of radiation.Concrete operations are to apply suitable fixed electricity in detector drain electrode Flow ID=1 × 10-7A, read now detector control gate voltage as threshold voltage.Fig. 5 presents detector after predose I-V characteristic curvilinear motion figure, drift delta V occurs after threshold voltage irradiation.Fig. 5 is shown simultaneously applies control-grid voltage by low To during High variation, the change for the hole concentration being stored on half floating boom, it is seen that hole concentration is after raceway groove fully opens Significant change is just had, i.e., in read threshold voltages operation, the hole concentration change stored on floating boom can be ignored.
The result that detector signal reads collects as shown in fig. 6, detector threshold voltage is with absorbed dose of radiation linear change, linearly Coefficient correlation square value (the square of correlation coefficient of linearity, R2) reach 0.99467, show that the linearity is very high;Sensitivity reaches 1.43mV/rad, in being reported with current domestic and foreign literature, is controlled in ray Treatment field is in the horizontal MOSFET types in forward position and FG-MOS type dose detectors are suitable.
Therefore the present invention discloses a kind of half floating transistor gamma-rays dose detector.Half floating gate transistor structures are to pass Embedded floating boom in system plane doping barrier transistor, the floating boom are contacted with p-type doping thin layer in raceway groove, exhausted for collecting raceway groove Area caused hole in irradiation.The accumulation in hole improves floating gate potential on floating boom, controls the barrier height in raceway groove, so as to shadow The threshold voltage of Chinese percussion instrument part.The detector resets the pn-junction forward bias between floating boom and raceway groove by being biased, phase It is more simple and easy to do than current wide variety of pmos type and FG-MOS type detector.It is small volume of the present invention, high sensitivity, low in energy consumption, It is suitably applied the fields such as radiating medical.
