Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of radiation detection devices, and particularly relates to a semiconductor radiation detection device and a preparation method thereof
Background
The invention relates to the technical field of radiation energy spectrum detection of X-rays, Gamma-rays, neutron rays and the like, in particular to a radiation energy spectrum detection chip framework for ray photon pulse amplitude detection and discrimination and counting based on a semiconductor radiation medium material.
For a radiation detector, different X-rays or radioactive nuclides can be distinguished through the difference of radiation energy of the rays, and the measurement of the intensity of the X-rays and the energy of different nuclides contained in Gamma rays is realized.
Radiation detectors can be classified into gas ionization counters, scintillator detectors, semiconductor detectors, and the like, depending on the materials used for the detectors. Gas ionization counters appeared earliest, but since the same pulse output was generated for different radiation inputs, the sensitivity was poor and it was difficult to distinguish the type of radiation. The scintillator detector must be used in combination with a photomultiplier tube or the like, limiting the improvement in energy resolution. Semiconductor radiation detectors have high detection efficiency and energy resolution and are representative of high energy resolution radiation detectors today.
Compared with the traditional gas and scintillator radiation detectors, the semiconductor radiation detector has the main advantages that the detection and discrimination of incident radiation photon energy information can be realized by detecting induced charge generated by photon-generated carrier migration, and meanwhile, the semiconductor radiation detector is packaged with a front-end reading system chip and can be manufactured into an imaging detector with high resolution and small area.
Typically, a semiconductor radiation detector consists essentially of a semiconductor crystal material, readout electrodes, sensing signal processing circuitry and a control system. In the aspect of semiconductor crystal materials, different radiation medium crystal materials can be adopted according to the radiation energy range required to be detected, and undoped Si crystal materials can be adopted for low-energy X-ray detection; high atomic number CdTe/CdZnTe material may be used for high energy X ray, Gamma ray and neutron radiation.
At present, the semiconductor radiation detector adopts a detector structure with a more efficient unipolar carrier collection characteristic, namely, a response signal of the detector mainly takes an induction signal caused by electron carrier migration, and the problems of low energy resolution and the like caused by low hole mobility of a semiconductor crystal material can be well improved. At present, a unipolar detector structure in which an anode is a pixel array electrode and a cathode is an integral planar electrode has been one of the main structural forms of a semiconductor imaging and energy spectrum detector, and specifically, refer to fig. 1, which is a schematic structural view of a conventional pixel array semiconductor radiation detector.
The pixel array semiconductor radiation detector has the position sensitivity characteristic, the size of a pixel anode directly determines the spatial resolution of the imaging detector, and meanwhile the small pixel effect existing in the pixel array electrode structure enables the detector to have the unipolar carrier collection characteristic, so that the energy resolution can be obviously improved. Therefore, a large-area pixel array detector with a small-sized anode unit becomes a mainstream semiconductor radiation detector structure for detecting X-ray and Gamma-ray radiation at home and abroad.
The semiconductor radiation detector with the surface element pixel array structure mainly comprises the following core components: the device comprises a semiconductor material cadmium zinc telluride (CdZnTe) crystal which interacts with radiation photons, a surface element array reading electrode prepared on the surface of the semiconductor material and an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) tightly connected with the reading electrode. As can be seen from fig. 1, the surface element pixel array semiconductor radiation detector uses an integral semiconductor crystal to react with radiation photons, and then the surface element pixel array electrodes collect induced charge signals generated inside the crystal, and meanwhile, in order to make the detector have position sensitivity and imaging capability, the surface element pixel array electrodes are connected with the readout ASIC through a flip chip bonding process.
In terms of a detector signal generation and processing process, when incident ray photons generate interaction in a semiconductor material, charge carriers in direct proportion to the energy of the incident photons are generated in a crystal, the carriers migrate to a pixel electrode under the influence of an external electric field, induced charges are generated on a reading electrode at a corresponding position in the electronic carrier migration process, an ASIC circuit connected with the reading electrode in an inverted mode converts the induced charge signals into voltage signals through a charge sensitive preamplification circuit in each electrode signal channel, voltage pulse signals with low signal to noise ratio output by a front discharge circuit are further processed into Gaussian voltage pulses with high signal to noise ratio through a pulse shaping circuit and a voltage pulse height comparator, and then subsequent pulse amplitude spectrum processing is carried out on the Gaussian voltage pulses. The prior art has the following disadvantages: at present, the traditional semiconductor radiation detector adopts the main signal processing flow of measuring and processing the induced charge signal generated in the migration process of the photon-generated carrier signal, carries out noise reduction and amplification processing on the charge signal through various low-noise and high-signal-to-noise ratio electronic circuit technologies, and converts the induced charge signal into a voltage signal so as to facilitate the screening processing of the pulse amplitude in the later period.
In this signal processing flow, the induced charge signal is used as an original signal output by the detector, which has poor anti-interference performance, and the charge sensitive amplifying circuit usually adopted has extremely high requirements on signal noise and electromagnetic shielding of the detector, so that the pre-amplifying circuit and the readout electrode must be tightly connected by flip-chip bonding to reduce the signal transmission path. Meanwhile, different low-noise charge sensitive amplifying circuits are designed to sense a first-stage processing circuit of a charge signal, due to the requirements of high sensitivity and high signal-to-noise ratio, the preamplification circuits are generally complex, so that the corresponding ASIC chip circuit area is large, the cost is high, the noise performance is not ideal, and the first-stage processing circuit generally needs a further shaping amplifying circuit to process.

Further, the thickness of the semiconductor crystal material layer and the thickness of the insulating isolation layer satisfy 1000: 1 (e.g. semi-conducting)5mm of bulk crystal layer and 5 mu m of insulating separation layer), wherein the thickness of the graphene material layer is the common physical thickness of the graphene material
Further, the insulating isolation layer is made of SiO 2.
Further, before the radiation detection of the semiconductor radiation detection device is normally performed, the external bias voltage needs to be optimally adjusted to enable the graphene material layer to be at a critical point of a Dirac curve, and under the condition, once a bias electric field of the graphene material layer changes, the resistance value of the graphene material layer can obviously change.
A preparation method based on a radiation detection device comprises the following steps:
and 4, after the surface element array graphene layer is prepared, preparing electrodes by using a standard semiconductor process again, forming a surface element array electrode on the surface element array graphene layer by using a photoetching pattern In a surface element array shape, growing a metal electrode (Au, gold electrode or In, indium electrode) with the thickness of 100nm by using an electron beam evaporation instrument, and completing the preparation of the device.
Further, in the step 1, according to different doping degrees of the adopted CdZnTe crystal, corresponding relaxation temperatures, carrier mobility, purity and carrier lifetime are also different, and the final resistance signal is affected.
Further, the step 2 of transferring graphene to the SiO2 insulating layer from the preparation substrate comprises the following steps:

(2) standing for 15 minutes in a high-temperature environment, improving the uniformity of the PMMA colloid through the volatilization of the PMMA colloid organic solvent, and enhancing the combination degree of the graphene film and the PMMA colloid;
(3) removing the graphene preparation substrate through 8% Fe (NO3)3 solution corrosion, wherein the corrosion time is 9 hours, after the substrate is corroded, cleaning PMMA glue with the graphene prepared on the surface by using deionized water, and adsorbing one side of the graphene layer by using one side of a SiO2 thin film layer of a CdZnTe crystal;

Therefore, unlike the conventional semiconductor radiation detector which relies on charge collection for radiation detection, the graphene resistance state change radiation detector provided by the present invention relies on a significant change in the impedance of the graphene material to detect the amount of ionizing radiation in the absorbing medium. The induced charge at the graphene electrode side causes a change in the internal electric field and thus a change in its conductivity, because the impedance value of the graphene material is very sensitive to the weak change of the internal electric field near the preset Dirac state, therefore, the graphene signal generation layer of the detector has the same function as a charge sensitive preamplifier circuit adopted by the traditional radiation detector, but the difference is that the resistance value of the graphene material layer is taken as the detection physical quantity without the charge transfer process and the corresponding induced charge collection time, under the condition of unchanged working environment, the resistance value change of the graphene material layer is only related to the radiation intensity, therefore, the radiation intensity can be detected by adopting the resistance measuring circuit with strong anti-interference capability and simpler circuit structure, the high cost and the complexity of the traditional charge sensitive preamplification circuit can be effectively reduced, and the anti-interference performance of a signal transmission link can be effectively improved. The signal processing process of the detector is simpler and more direct, the possibility of noise interference is reduced, and the signal-to-noise ratio of the device is improved.

Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail and clearly with reference to the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present invention.
The technical scheme for solving the technical problems is as follows:
the invention discloses a semiconductor radiation detection device adopting a resistance value of a graphene field effect transistor as a physical quantity to be measured, and relates to a key technical point of a structure of a graphene resistance value sensitive detector and a sequential preparation method of a corresponding detector structure, wherein the preparation method comprises the preparation of an insulating layer, a graphene layer and a signal electrode layer.
The detector structure is shown in FIG. 2, an insulating isolation layer (SiO) is prepared on the surface of the CdZnTe crystal anode with high atomic number 2 ) The method comprises the steps of preparing a surface element array structure graphene resistance state signal layer on an insulating isolation layer, constructing a surface element array type graphene field effect tube structure, enabling a signal output end of a detector to be a signal output electrode layer, and preparing electrodes such as (gold and Au) by adopting high work function materials. Wherein the thickness of the semiconductor crystal material layer and the thickness of the insulating layer satisfy 1000: 1, the thickness of the graphene layer is the general physical thickness of the graphene material
The basic principle and the signal transmission process of the radiation detector described in the invention are mainly shown in fig. 3, the detector signal is mainly generated by a semiconductor medium CdZnTe crystal after receiving radiation, and a graphene field effect tube applied with bias voltage is adopted as an output signal generating element.
Because insulating SiO is prepared between the graphene and the CdZnTe crystal 2 And applying bias voltage to the graphene layer and the crystal layer and generating an external electric field inside the detector. The radiation detector needs to optimally adjust an external bias before normal radiation detection is carried out, so that the graphene layer is positioned at the critical point of a Dirac curve. Under the condition, once the bias electric field of the graphene layer is changed, the resistance value of the graphene layer can be obviously changed. In thatThe high work function metal surface electrode prepared on the surface of the graphene is used as a drain electrode (drain) and a source electrode (source) of the graphene field effect transistor to provide impressed current for the graphene layer and complete the measurement of the surface resistivity. Briefly, the concentration of photon-generated carriers generated by different radiation intensities is different, so that the concentration distribution of carriers in the CdZnTe crystal is correspondingly changed, the change of an electric field in the graphene material layer is directly influenced, and the change of the surface resistance of the graphene layer is further caused.
Thus, unlike conventional semiconductor radiation detectors that rely on charge collection for radiation detection, graphene resistance state change radiation detectors rely on a significant change in impedance to detect the amount of ionizing radiation in an absorbing medium. The induced charge on the graphene electrode side can cause the change of an internal electric field and further cause the change of the conductivity of the graphene electrode, and because the impedance value of the graphene material is very sensitive to the weak change of the internal electric field near the preset Dirac state, the graphene signal generation layer of the detector has the same function as a charge sensitive preamplification circuit adopted by the traditional radiation detector, but does not need charge migration and corresponding induced charge collection time.
