Description

Method for preparing high-coupling-efficiency induction type superconducting edge detector and structure
Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field of electronic devices, in particular to a preparation method and a structure of an induction type superconducting edge detector with high coupling efficiency.
Background
Superconducting transition edge detectors (TES) are an extremely sensitive detector. Its main structure is a superconducting film, and its working temp. is between its superconducting state and normal state, i.e. its resistance is between zero and normal value. Compared with a normal-temperature semiconductor single photon detector, such as an avalanche diode or a photomultiplier, the superconducting transition edge detector has the advantages of photon number resolution capability, energy resolution capability, high response speed and low detection energy, and is widely applied to the fields of precision measurement, astronomical detection, quantum communication, biological fluorescence sensing and the like.
Superconducting Quantum Interference devices (SQUIDs) are the most sensitive magnetic flux-voltage sensors at present, can precisely measure physical quantities such as magnetic fields (gradients), currents, voltages, displacements and the like which can be converted into magnetic fluxes through self-inductance and mutual inductance, and have wide application in the aspects of precision measurement, aerospace, geophysical, ocean exploration, biology, medicine and the like.
An induction superconducting edge detector (ISTED) is used for detecting a single photon between 4K and 8K and has the functions of a superconducting transition edge detector and a superconducting quantum interference device. When the induction type superconducting edge detector is at the temperature of superconducting transition, photons or other particles are incident, and then the superconducting film of the induction type superconducting edge detector absorbs the incident light to generate corresponding temperature rise, so that the effective area of the superconducting film is reduced. Meanwhile, the inductance of the inductive superconducting edge detector is increased, the output voltage is increased, and the voltage increase is in direct proportion to the energy of absorbed light. Therefore, the better the coupling between the superconducting thin film of the inductive superconducting edge probe and the inductive structure, the higher the sensitivity of the measurement.
However, in the conventional method for manufacturing the induction type superconducting edge detector with high coupling efficiency, as the detection area of the superconducting film is larger, the difficulty in manufacturing the inductance structure is higher, so that the coupling efficiency between the superconducting film of the induction type superconducting edge detector and the inductance structure is lower, and the measurement sensitivity of the induction type superconducting edge detector is reduced.

In one embodiment, the present application provides an inductive superconducting edge detector structure with high coupling efficiency. The high-coupling-efficiency inductive superconducting edge detector structure comprises a substrate, a superconducting transition edge structure and a superconducting quantum interference device structure. The superconducting transition edge structure is located on the surface of the substrate. The superconducting quantum interference device structure is located on the surface of the substrate. And the superconducting quantum interference device structure surrounds the superconducting transition edge structure. And a gap hole is formed between the superconducting quantum interference device structure and the superconducting transition edge structure.
In one embodiment, the superconducting quantum interference device structure includes a plurality of nano-bridges and a plurality of third superconducting thin film structures. The plurality of third superconducting thin film structures are connected through the plurality of nano-bridges.
In the preparation method and the structure of the high-coupling-efficiency induction type superconducting edge detector, in the step S10, the substrate is a smooth substrate with high resistivity and small roughness. Specifically, the substrate includes, but is not limited to, a magnesium oxide single crystal substrate, a silicon substrate, a sapphire substrate, or the like. The total reflection film structure can be made of reflection materials such as an aluminum reflection film layer, a copper reflection film layer or a silver reflection film layer. The first insulating structure and the second insulating structure may be made of insulating materials such as silicon oxide or silicon nitride. The first superconducting thin film structure may be a superconducting material such as Nb.
Forming a Josephson junction structure through the first insulating structure, the first superconducting thin film structure, and the second insulating structure. When the working temperature of the first superconducting thin film structure is in a narrow range between the superconducting state and the normal state, namely the resistance is between zero and the normal value, the function of a superconducting transition edge detector can be realized. That is, the superconducting transition edge structure is a longitudinal structure of a superconducting transition edge detector formed on the surface of the substrate.
In S20, the step of preparing the sacrificial layer and the second superconducting thin film on the surface of the second insulating structure may be to prepare the sacrificial layer and the second superconducting thin film on the surface of the superconducting transition edge structure, and cover the surface and the sidewall of the superconducting transition edge structure. The sacrificial layer may be made of the same material as the total reflection thin film structure, and may be made of a reflective material such as an aluminum reflective thin film layer, a copper reflective thin film layer, or a silver reflective thin film layer. The second superconducting thin film may be the same as the first superconducting thin film, and may be a superconducting material such as niobium, niobium-silicon, or the like.
At this time, the sacrificial layer and the second superconducting thin film are prepared on the surface of the second insulating structure. The contact surface of the sacrificial layer and the second superconducting thin film forms a medium interface. The sacrificial layer and the contact surface of the second insulating structure form a medium interface. The contact surface of the second insulating structure and the first superconducting thin film structure forms a medium interface. The contact surface of the first superconducting thin film structure and the first insulating structure forms a medium interface. And the contact surfaces of the first insulating structure and the total reflection film structure form a medium interface. Through a plurality of interfaces of different media, an optical resonant cavity can be formed, and the functions of optical energy feedback and the like are provided.

At this time, the second superconducting thin film is etched through the second mask layer until the sacrificial layer, and the second superconducting thin film structure is formed.
In S50, a surface of the second superconducting thin film structure opposite to the second insulating structure is polished to expose the sacrificial layer, thereby forming the third superconducting thin film structure.
And in the step S60, etching the surface of the sacrificial layer opposite to the second insulating structure to expose the second insulating structure. And etching the surface of the sacrificial layer opposite to the substrate to expose the substrate. And simultaneously, etching the sacrificial layer between the side wall of the third superconducting thin film structure and the side wall of the superconducting transition edge structure. At this time, the sacrificial layer between the third superconducting thin film structure and the substrate is left, and the sacrificial structure is formed. The sacrificial structure and the third superconducting thin film structure form the superconducting quantum interference device structure and surround to form an annular hole to surround the superconducting transition edge structure.
And after the sacrificial layer between the superconducting quantum interference device structure and the superconducting transition edge structure is etched, the gap hole is formed. The superconducting quantum interference device structure includes the third superconducting thin film structure having a superconducting transition temperature. The superconducting transition edge structure disposed in an annular ring formed by the surrounding of the superconducting quantum interference device structure comprises a first superconducting thin film structure. When the superconducting transition temperature is reached, after photons or other particles are incident, the absorption of the superconducting transition edge structure on incident light generates corresponding temperature rise, the effective area of the superconducting transition edge structure is reduced, the inductance of the superconducting quantum interference device structure is increased, and the output voltage is increased. At this time, the voltage increase amount of the superconducting quantum interference device structure is proportional to the energy of absorbed light. In addition, by the preparation method of the high-coupling-efficiency induction type superconducting edge detector, the gap hole between the prepared superconducting quantum interference device structure and the superconducting transition edge structure is small, and a nano-scale gap can be prepared.
Therefore, by the method for manufacturing the high-coupling-efficiency inductive superconducting edge detector, the superconducting quantum interference device structure, the superconducting transition edge structure and the gap hole are manufactured on the surface of the substrate, and the coupling between the superconducting quantum interference device structure and the superconducting transition edge structure can be improved. Meanwhile, by the preparation method of the high-coupling-efficiency induction type superconducting edge detector, the detection area of the superconducting transition edge structure is increased, the preparation difficulty of the superconducting quantum interference device structure can be reduced, and the coupling efficiency of the superconducting quantum interference device structure and the superconducting transition edge structure is improved.

Detailed Description
To facilitate an understanding of the present application, the present application will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. Embodiments of the present application are given in the accompanying drawings. This application may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete.
Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein in the description of the present application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.
It will be understood that when an element or layer is referred to as being "on," "adjacent to," "connected to," or "coupled to" other elements or layers, it can be directly on, adjacent to, connected or coupled to the other elements or layers or intervening elements or layers may be present. In contrast, when an element is referred to as being "directly on," "directly adjacent to," "directly connected to" or "directly coupled to" other elements or layers, there are no intervening elements or layers present. It will be understood that, although the terms first, second, third, etc. may be used to describe various elements, components, regions, layers, doping types and/or sections, these elements, components, regions, layers, doping types and/or sections should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer, doping type or section from another element, component, region, layer, doping type or section. Thus, a first element, component, region, layer, doping type or section discussed below could be termed a second element, component, region, layer or section without departing from the teachings of the present application; for example, the first doping type may be made the second doping type, and similarly, the second doping type may be made the first doping type; the first doping type and the second doping type are different doping types, for example, the first doping type may be P-type and the second doping type may be N-type, or the first doping type may be N-type and the second doping type may be P-type.
Spatial relational terms, such as "under," "below," "under," "over," and the like may be used herein to describe one element or feature's relationship to another element or feature as illustrated in the figures. It will be understood that the spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures is turned over, elements or features described as "below" or "beneath" other elements or features would then be oriented "above" the other elements or features. Thus, the exemplary terms "under" and "under" can encompass both an orientation of above and below. In addition, the device may also include additional orientations (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or other orientations) and the spatial descriptors used herein interpreted accordingly.
As used herein, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" may include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will be further understood that the terms "comprises/comprising," "includes" or "including," etc., specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof. Also, in this specification, the term "and/or" includes any and all combinations of the associated listed items.
Embodiments of the application are described herein with reference to cross-sectional views that are schematic illustrations of idealized embodiments (and intermediate structures) of the application, such that variations from the shapes shown are to be expected due to, for example, manufacturing techniques and/or tolerances. Thus, embodiments of the present application should not be limited to the particular shapes of regions illustrated herein but are to include deviations in shapes that result, for example, from manufacturing techniques. Thus, the regions illustrated in the figures are schematic in nature and their shapes are not intended to illustrate the actual shape of a region of a device and are not intended to limit the scope of the present application.

When the operating temperature of the first superconducting thin film structure 410 is within a narrow range between its superconducting state and its normal state, i.e., the resistance is between zero and its normal value, the superconducting transition edge detector function can be realized. That is, the superconducting transition edge structure 100 is a longitudinal structure of the superconducting transition edge detector formed on the surface of the substrate 10.
In the S20, referring to fig. 5, the sacrificial layer 70 and the second superconducting thin film 80 are prepared on the surface of the second insulating structure 510, which can be understood as preparing the sacrificial layer 70 and the second superconducting thin film 80 on the surface of the superconducting transition edge structure 100, and covering the surface and the sidewall of the superconducting transition edge structure 100.

The second superconducting thin film 80 may be made of the same material as the first superconducting thin film structure 410, and may be made of a superconducting material such as niobium, niobium-silicon, or the like.
At this time, the sacrificial layer 70 and the second superconducting thin film 80 are prepared on the surface of the second insulating structure 510.

The superconducting transition edge structure 100 disposed in the annular ring formed by the surrounding of the superconducting quantum interference device structure 200 includes a first superconducting thin film structure 410. When the superconducting transition temperature is reached, after photons or other particles are incident, the absorption of the superconducting transition edge structure 100 on the incident light generates a corresponding temperature rise, the effective area of the superconducting transition edge structure 100 is reduced, the inductance of the superconducting quantum interference device structure 200 is increased, and the output voltage is increased. At this time, the voltage of the superconducting quantum interference device structure 200 is increased by an amount proportional to the energy of absorbed light. In addition, by the method for manufacturing the high-coupling-efficiency inductive superconducting edge detector, the gap hole 300 between the superconducting quantum interference device structure 200 and the superconducting transition edge structure 100 is small, and a nano-scale gap can be manufactured.
