Description

Micro-ellipsoidal zero-crosstalk tellurium-cadmium-mercury infrared focal plane detector
Technical Field
The invention relates to a chip design and manufacturing technology of a tellurium-cadmium-mercury infrared detector, in particular to a micro-ellipsoidal zero-crosstalk tellurium-cadmium-mercury infrared focal plane detector. The detector can realize ultra-low crosstalk detection and can also improve the signal-to-noise ratio and detection efficiency of the infrared focal plane detector.
Background
Infrared focal plane array technology is a key basis for modern weapon systems. The tellurium-cadmium-mercury material can cover the whole infrared band by adjusting components, and photon wavelength corresponding to the forbidden band width of the tellurium-cadmium-mercury material is the most commonly used detection material of an infrared detector and has wide application in various fields such as aviation, aerospace, agriculture, ocean and the like. The competitive core of mercury cadmium telluride materials, compared to indium antimonide, indium gallium arsenide, and superlattice materials, is the continuous controllability of the composition. With the continuous improvement of the detection resolution requirements of the tellurium-cadmium-mercury infrared focal plane detector, the new generation of tellurium-cadmium-mercury infrared focal plane detector is developed in the direction of large scale and miniaturization.
However, as the pixel size is further reduced, the mercury cadmium telluride infrared focal plane detector of conventional construction suffers from a critical scientific problem in that the resolution of the detector is difficult to further increase. This is limited or affected mainly by the following two factors. This is due to the fact that as the pixel size becomes smaller, the photo-generated carrier collection region spacing between small-sized pixels of an infrared focal plane detector of conventional construction is very small, which can lead to large spatial electrical and optical crosstalk problems. On the other hand, the signal to noise ratio and detection rate of the infrared detector are relatively small due to the fact that the small-size pixel photocurrent signal of the limited area of the infrared focal plane detector is relatively small. Therefore, when the pixel size is further reduced, the detection resolution of the infrared detector with the traditional configuration is limited by not only space electrical and optical crosstalk, but also the signal-to-noise ratio and the detection rate of the infrared detector.
Therefore, the patent provides a novel structure of a novel tellurium-cadmium-mercury infrared focal plane detector based on a micro-ellipsoidal array, so as to solve the scientific and technical problems that the detection resolution can not be further improved when the pixel size of the infrared detector with the traditional configuration is further reduced, and lay a foundation theory and a key technical foundation for the development of the infrared focal plane detector with the larger specification and smaller pixel size.
