Detailed Description
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the description is only exemplary and is not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure. In addition, in the following description, descriptions of well-known structures and techniques are omitted so as not to unnecessarily obscure the concepts of the present disclosure.
Various structural schematic diagrams according to embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings. The figures are not drawn to scale, wherein certain details are exaggerated for clarity of presentation and may have been omitted. The shapes of the various regions, layers and relative sizes, positional relationships between them shown in the drawings are merely exemplary, may in practice deviate due to manufacturing tolerances or technical limitations, and one skilled in the art may additionally design regions/layers having different shapes, sizes, relative positions as actually required.
In the context of the present disclosure, when a layer/element is referred to as being "on" another layer/element, it can be directly on the other layer/element or intervening layers/elements may be present therebetween. In addition, if one layer/element is located "on" another layer/element in one orientation, that layer/element may be located "under" the other layer/element when the orientation is turned.
As described in the background art, the existing three-dimensional trench electrode detector still has the problem that the bottom electric field is unevenly distributed due to the detection dead zone at the bottom, and therefore, the invention designs the three-dimensional trench electrode detector with the central electrode penetrating through the substrate, and the specific description is as follows.
A detector as shown in fig. 7, comprising: a substrate 1, and a central electrode 7 arranged in the center of the substrate 1, a trench electrode 2 arranged on the periphery of the substrate 1, wherein the trench electrode 2 is annular.
The center electrode penetrates the substrate.
Compared with the existing three-dimensional trench electrode detector, the invention adopts the design that the central electrode penetrates through the substrate, so that the detection dead zone is reduced, the electric field distribution at the bottom of the central electrode is more uniform, and the full and high-efficiency collection of carriers is more facilitated.
The materials used and the doping types of the electrodes and the substrate are not particularly limited, and the invention is not limited to this, as long as the materials are used for the above-mentioned through-design detector.
For example, the substrate 1 may be a silicon-based substrate, such as one of bulk silicon, SOI, strained silicon, ultra-pure high-resistance silicon, epitaxial silicon, geSi, a group iii-v material, or a stacked material.
The trench electrode 2 may be P-doped or N-doped, and the central electrode 7 is N-doped or P-doped, respectively. The concentration of doping and chemical elements are also optional or dependent on the product application.
The trench electrode 2 may be doped polysilicon filled after etching the substrate 1, or may be formed by ion implantation after etching. In addition, since the existing three-dimensional detector has the problems of large stress and unstable structure caused by the high aspect ratio of the trench, the structure of the trench electrode 2 can be further improved, for example, a central cavity 4 is reserved in the center of the trench electrode as shown in fig. 7, so as to reduce the stress. Of course, the trench electrode 2 may be filled with a doped semiconductor or with an insulating material (typically silicon oxide) such as oxide after doping, if this is not considered. In addition, the "annular" shape characteristic of the trench electrode is not particularly limited, and may be a regular circular ring, an elliptical ring, a square ring, a polygonal ring, or the like.
The central electrode 7 extends completely through the substrate 1, which reduces the bottom detection dead space. In addition, the radius of the groove of the central electrode can be properly adjusted on the premise of ensuring the mechanical stability of the product.
For the circuit outlets (the trench electrode outlet 6 and the central electrode outlet 10) of the trench electrode 2 and the central electrode 7, which are respectively used as outlets of a power supply circuit and a readout circuit, the circuit outlets are preferably respectively arranged on two opposite surfaces of the substrate so as to realize separation of different circuits (including the readout circuit and the power supply circuit, etc.), thereby facilitating metal wiring and improving charge collection efficiency. For example, as illustrated in fig. 3, a trench electrode terminal 6 and a center electrode terminal 10 are provided on the upper surface and the lower surface of the substrate 1, respectively.
The dimensions of the structures of the present invention are not particularly limited. For a substrate with a thickness of 500 μm, the trench electrode depth is about 300 μm, and is suitable for 94V applied voltage and the like. The above are only examples and do not limit the scope of the invention.
In addition, the present invention does not impose any limitation on the array shape of the center electrode (e.g., a typical 4×4 array). This is because the central electrode in the present invention penetrates the substrate, but the trench electrode on the outer periphery does not penetrate the substrate.
There are various methods for preparing the three-dimensional trench electrode probe for obtaining the central electrode penetration of any of the above schemes, and the present invention provides one of the preferred methods, specifically as follows.
In step s1, a ring-shaped trench is provided on the outer side Zhou Keshi of the substrate 1, wherein the trench opening is upward, and the opening direction of the trench is not limited in practice, and the opening is described on the upper surface. The step can adopt a typical photoetching and etching combination mode, comprises the procedures of masking, exposing, developing and the like, and can also adopt other gas etching, plasma etching and the like.
And step s2, forming an annular groove electrode in the annular groove obtained in the step s 1. The forming means includes ion implantation or filling in-situ doped polysilicon, etc., as long as the material satisfies the conductive property of the trench electrode, the present invention is not particularly limited. In addition, since the trench electrode of the three-dimensional detector of the present invention generally has a large aspect ratio, attention is paid to uniformity of filling at the time of filling. An oxide film can be covered after the electrode is formed, so as to play a role in insulation protection.
The method for forming the electrode by ion implantation may comprise the steps of:
step s2a1, performing ion implantation on the side wall of the annular groove; the implantation concentration and the element type are determined according to the product performance requirements. Doping is completed after ion implantation, and conductivity is changed, namely shallow surface layers of the side wall and the bottom wall of the groove are converted into groove electrodes 2.
Step s2a2, then, the side walls and the bottom wall of the annular trench are covered with an oxide layer 3, which may be a typical material such as silicon oxide, to perform an insulating protection function together with balancing the mechanical stress of the substrate. The thickness of the oxide layer can be adjusted appropriately to finally fill the annular trench with oxide or leave a central cavity 4 (structure shown in fig. 4). The process of filling the oxide is simpler, and the process of leaving the central cavity can further balance the mechanical stress of the substrate, which is beneficial to improving the mechanical stability of the device.
For the manner of forming the electrode by in-situ doping of polysilicon, the following steps can be adopted:
step s2b1, directly depositing polysilicon in the annular groove, and simultaneously doping in situ, wherein the thickness of the polysilicon can be freely adjusted.
Optionally step s2b2, covering the oxide film, step s2a2.
Next, in step s3, dielectric layers 5 (as shown in fig. 4) are formed on the upper and lower surfaces of the substrate, and the dielectric layers 5 may be silicon oxide, silicon oxynitride, or other material having good insulation and high etching selectivity.
Step s4, forming a trench electrode lead-out terminal 6 as shown in fig. 5. In order to reduce the number of times the substrate is flipped back and forth during production, this step may be performed first when the electrode terminals of the trench electrodes are provided on the upper surface. It is of course not excluded to carry out the subsequent fabrication of the central electrode and then to form the trench electrode terminal. In addition, the trench electrode may be oxide capped prior to forming the electrode terminal 6 to balance substrate stress.
Next, step s5 is performed to etch a deep trench in the center of the substrate 1, which penetrates the substrate to the oxide film, and preferably an opening is provided in the lower surface, the effect of which is the same as that described in the above product.
In step s6, a central electrode 7 is formed in the deep trench. The specific procedure of this step can be referred to as steps s2a1 to s2a2 or steps s2b1 to s2b2, i.e. the central electrode 7 is formed in the trench, the surface of which is covered with an oxide layer 8 leaving a cavity 9 in the center, as shown in fig. 6.
In step s7, the central electrode tab 10 is formed, and as shown in fig. 7, the trench may be capped with oxide or unsealed before the tab is formed.
The embodiments of the present disclosure are described above. However, these examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure. The scope of the disclosure is defined by the appended claims and equivalents thereof. Various alternatives and modifications can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the disclosure, and such alternatives and modifications are intended to fall within the scope of the disclosure.
