and etching to remove the amorphous silicon layer, so that a cavity structure is formed between the second dielectric layer and the first dielectric layer.
After the above procedure is completed, a specific detector structure may be fabricated in a P-I-N stack structure, and then the readout circuitry structure and the detector structure are interconnected.
According to the method provided by the invention, firstly, the amorphous silicon is used for forming the cavity below the P-I-N stacked structure, and the light absorption rate can be improved by utilizing the reflection in the cavity after light absorption, so that the electrical property of the thermosensitive detector is improved.
In addition, the invention simplifies the integration flow and improves the integration level, for example, the integration discrete devices have the problems of complexity, low integration level and the like in interconnection; another aspect is to fabricate the probe structure after integration, bypassing the problem of precise alignment (mainly referring to alignment of the electronic structure and the probe structure).
