Definitions
- a radiation detection element and a readout circuit thereof are formed on the same SOI (Silicon ON Insulator) substrate with an insulating film therebetween, and an active element such as a MOS transistor, a resistor, a capacitor, or the like constituting the readout circuit is formed.
- SOI Silicon ON Insulator
- an active element such as a MOS transistor, a resistor, a capacitor, or the like constituting the readout circuit is formed.
- the present invention relates to a semiconductor device for radiation detection equipped with a passive element.
- Conventional radiation detection elements are for detecting radiation and are used in fields such as nuclear medicine, nuclear power, astronomy, and cosmic ray physics.
- the radiation includes alpha rays, beta rays, gamma rays, X rays, neutron rays, charged particle rays, and the like.
- the currently used pixel type radiation detector employs a structure in which the sensor part and the readout circuit part are made as separate chips and mechanically connected by metal bumps. For this reason, this type of pixel-type radiation detector is generally called a hybrid-type pixel detector.
- One of the problems with this hybrid pixel detector is the connection between the sensor section and the readout circuit section.
- manufacturing cost and connection reliability are limited, and the size of the metal bump is generally limited to 50 ⁇ m.
- radiation detection such as S / N and operation speed is affected by the parasitic capacitance between the metal bump and the wiring to the metal bump. The performance as a container is limited.
- a conventional general pixel detector is connected to a readout circuit chip separated from a radiation detection element chip by bump bonding with solder, lead, indium, or the like.
- the individual bumps are responsible for the electrical connection between the pixels of a single radiation detection element and the corresponding readout circuit.
- it is necessary to perform bonding with a very large number of bumps, which increases the thickness and increases the mounting cost.
- the SOI substrate is a laminated structure in which a thin single crystal silicon layer is formed on a silicon substrate via an insulator layer. From the top of the physical structure, the single crystal silicon on the top of the insulator layer is a thin silicon layer. It is a substrate having a laminated structure of a single crystal silicon layer under an insulator layer which is a layer / insulator layer (silicon oxide film) / thick silicon layer.
- an electronic circuit is formed on a single crystal silicon layer above the insulator layer, and the single crystal silicon layer below the insulator layer is a simple physical structure (supporting substrate).
- a radiation detecting element such as a photodiode or an avalanche photodiode is formed in the single-crystal silicon layer portion of the lower thick silicon layer, so that a depletion layer can be formed in the single-crystal silicon layer portion of the lower thick silicon layer.
- a via hole made of metal wiring is formed in the silicon oxide film (insulator layer) in the center of the structure using a semiconductor process technology, and an electronic circuit configured as a thin silicon layer (single crystal silicon layer) above the insulator layer By connecting the radiation detection element via the via hole, it is possible to realize the integral formation of the radiation detection element and the readout circuit for reading the signal charge detected thereby.
- the advantage of this method is that bump bonding is not required. Since no mechanical connection such as bump bonding is required for the connection between the sensor and the readout circuit, a smaller pixel size can be realized. In addition, since parasitic capacitance due to bumps is eliminated, higher speed and lower power consumption can be expected. Furthermore, there is a possibility that cost can be reduced by integration on the same substrate. In addition to these, the isolation of the silicon oxide film at the center of the SOI structure between adjacent elements improves the isolation of the elements, eliminates latch-up, and allows the distance between the elements to be reduced. Since the circuit area can be reduced, a CMOS circuit having a complicated signal processing function can be mounted on each pixel. Note that the thickness of the single crystal silicon layer above the insulator layer is preferably about 10 to 100 nm which enables complete depletion of the MOS transistor.
- the SOI has a configuration in which an insulator layer (silicon oxide film) is sandwiched from above and below by a single crystal silicon wafer, From the top, it is composed of thin single crystal silicon layer / insulator layer / thick single crystal silicon layer.
- circuit elements such as MOS transistors, resistors, and capacitors are formed on the single crystal silicon layer above the insulator layer, and radiation detection such as photodiodes and avalanche photodiodes are formed on the single crystal silicon layer below the insulator layer. An element is formed.
- the circuit element formed in the thin single crystal silicon layer has a structure in which the periphery is covered with an insulator such as a silicon oxide film. For this reason, Joule heat generated in the channel formation region of the MOS transistor is dissipated through the insulator layer or the gate insulator, but with respect to the thermal conductivity (about 150 W / mK) of the single crystal silicon. Since the thermal conductivity of silicon oxide film (approximately 1.4 W / mK) and the thermal conductivity of TEOS (tetraethylorthosilicate) used as an interlayer insulating film are as low as 1.2 W / mK, the heat dissipation efficiency of SOI is generally bulky. It is said that it is worse than silicon.
- FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional view showing a configuration example of a main part of an SOI device disclosed in Patent Document 1.
- a conventional SOI device 100 has an SOI structure in which a silicon layer (SOI layer) 103 is formed on a silicon support substrate 101 via a silicon oxide film 102 as a first insulating film. .
- a transistor T1 is formed in the SOI layer 103.
- a silicon oxide film 104 is formed on the SOI layer 103 to insulate and isolate the semiconductor elements formed thereon.
- a silicon oxide film 109 as a second insulating film is formed on the SOI layer 103, and aluminum (Al) wirings 105 a and 105 b are formed on the silicon oxide film 109.
- the wiring 105a that is the first wiring is connected to the source of the transistor T1 via the contact plug 106a that is the first plug of tungsten (W).
- the wiring 105b is connected to the drain of the transistor T1 through a tungsten contact plug 106b.
- the transistor T1 is an nMOS transistor, and the wiring 105a is a wiring connected to the ground (Gnd).
- a metal back metal 107 is formed as a back film.
- the back metal 107 is connected to the wiring 105a through a heat dissipation plug 108 which is a second tungsten plug.
- the heat generated in the transistor T1 formed in the SOI layer 103 is transmitted to the heat dissipation plug 108 via the contact plug 106a and the wiring 105a, and is further dissipated from the heat dissipation plug 108 to the back metal 107. Since the back metal 107 has a higher thermal conductivity than the support substrate 101, a higher heat dissipation effect can be obtained than when heat generated in the transistor T1 is released to the support substrate 101. Therefore, the self-heating effect in the SOI device can be suppressed.
- the back surface metal 107 is not in contact with the lower surface of the transistor T1 formed in the SOI layer 103. That is, the silicon oxide film 102 exists between the transistor T1 and the back metal 107. Therefore, even if the transistor T1 has a source / drain diffusion layer that reaches the lower surface of the SOI layer 103, a short circuit between the source and drain does not occur via the back metal 107.
- FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view showing a configuration example of a main part of a semiconductor integrated circuit disclosed in Patent Document 2.
- a conventional semiconductor integrated circuit 200 includes a plurality of fully depleted SOIs on an SOI substrate 204 in which a buried oxide film 202 is formed on a silicon substrate 201 and a single crystal silicon layer 203 is further formed thereon.
- a transistor is formed.
- Each fully depleted MOS transistor is electrically isolated by an isolation oxide film 205 formed by, for example, STI (Shallow Trench Isolation) technology in which a shallow trench is filled with an insulating material to isolate the element.
- the fully depleted MOS transistor has two source or drain regions 206 and 206 formed on the single crystal silicon layer 203 of the SOI substrate 204 at a predetermined interval, and a gate on the single crystal silicon layer 203 between the source or drain regions 206 and 206.
- a gate electrode 208 made of, for example, a polysilicon film formed through an oxide film 207 is provided.
- the fully depleted SOI transistors in regions A and B have a common gate electrode 208.
- metal wiring layers M1 to M6 are formed in order from the lower layer side.
- the gate electrode 208 is electrically connected to the lowermost metal wiring layer M1 through the contact layer 210, and further through the via layer 211, the metal It is electrically connected to the wiring layer M2.
- connection holes and the metal wiring layer constituting the multilayer wiring structure are made of the same conductive material, and are different from the signal transmission connection holes and the metal wiring layer (see region C).
- Heat conduction portions 212, 213, and 214 that extend to the upper layer side in the path are provided (see regions A, E, and F).
- the heat generated by the gate operation of the fully depleted SOI transistor is conducted to the contact layer 210, the metal wiring layer M 1, the via layer 211, and the metal wiring layer M 2, and then reaches the maximum through the heat conduction unit 212. Conduction is performed up to the upper metal wiring layer M6, and heat is radiated from the upper surface side of the insulating layer 209. Thereby, the temperature rise of the semiconductor integrated circuit 200 can be reduced.
- a thin single crystal silicon layer is formed on a thick single crystal silicon layer as a support substrate via an insulator layer made of a silicon oxide film.
- a semiconductor element such as a MOS transistor formed in a thin single crystal silicon layer has a structure in which the periphery is covered with a silicon oxide film.
- This silicon oxide film has extremely low thermal conductivity as compared with silicon constituting a thick single crystal silicon layer as a supporting substrate, aluminum, copper used for metal wiring, and the like.
- the heat generated in the MOS transistor formed in the thin single crystal silicon layer is difficult to escape to the outside, and the temperature of the MOS transistor rises and flows through the current. (Self-heating) will occur.
- a heat insulating trench and a contact are formed in contact with a thin single crystal silicon layer (SOI layer 103) or a thick single crystal silicon layer (support substrate 101).
- SOI layer 103 thin single crystal silicon layer
- support substrate 101 a thick single crystal silicon layer
