Description
酸化亜鉛を主成分とし、酸化アルミニウム、酸化マグネシウム、酸化ニオブ、酸化チタン、酸化モリブデン及び酸化ハフニウムから成る群から選択された少なくとも2種類の材料を副成分として含む金属酸化物から成る絶縁層によって、発光・受光層、又は、第2電極、又は、発光・受光層及び第2電極が被覆されている。
1.本開示の絶縁材料、電子デバイス及び撮像装置、全般に関する説明
2.実施例1(本開示の絶縁材料及び電子デバイス)
3.実施例2(実施例1の変形)
4.実施例3(実施例1の別の変形)
5.実施例4(実施例1の更に別の変形)
6.実施例5(本開示の撮像装置)
7.その他
本開示の電子デバイス等又は本開示の絶縁材料において、副成分の含有率は、金属原子を基準として、5原子%乃至30原子%であることが好ましい。そして、このような好ましい形態を含む本開示の電子デバイス等又は本開示の絶縁材料において、副成分は、酸化アルミニウム及び酸化マグネシウムから成ることが好ましい。
第2電極は、発光・受光層側から、第2B層及び第2A層の積層構造を有し、
第2電極の第2A層の仕事関数の値は、第2電極の第2B層の仕事関数の値よりも低い構成とすることができる。尚、このような構成の本開示の電子デバイス等を、便宜上、『第1-Bの構成の電子デバイス』と呼ぶ。
第2電極は、発光・受光層の側から、第2B層及び第2A層の積層構造を有し、
第2電極の第2A層の仕事関数の値は、第2電極の第2B層の仕事関数の値よりも低い構成とすることもできる。そして、この場合、第2電極の第2A層の仕事関数の値と第2電極の第2B層の仕事関数の値との差は、0.1eV乃至0.2eVである構成とすることができ、更には、第1電極の仕事関数の値と第2電極の第2A層の仕事関数の値との差は0.4eV以上である構成とすることができる。あるいは又、第1電極の仕事関数の値と第2電極の第2A層の仕事関数の値との差を0.4eV以上とすることで、仕事関数の値の差に基づき発光・受光層において内部電界を発生させ、内部量子効率の向上を図る構成とすることができる。ここで、このような第2電極の第2A層及び第2B層の仕事関数の値の制御は、スパッタリング法に基づき形成する際の酸素ガス導入量(酸素ガス分圧)を制御することで達成することができる。また、第2電極の厚さは1×10-8m乃至1.5×10-7mであり、第2電極の第2A層の厚さと第2電極の第2B層の厚さの割合は9/1乃至1/9である構成とすることができる。尚、発光・受光層に対する酸素原子や酸素分子の影響を少なくするために、第2電極の第2A層の厚さよりも第2B層の厚さは薄いことが、より好ましい。このように、第2電極が第2A層及び第2B層の2層構造を有し、しかも、第2B層と第2A層の仕事関数の差を規定することによって、第2電極における仕事関数の最適化を図ることができ、キャリアの授受(移動)が一層容易になる。

シリコン半導体基板から成る基板11を準備する。ここで、基板11には、例えば、電子デバイスの駆動回路や光電変換層(図示せず)、配線12が設けられており、表面には層間絶縁膜13が形成されている。層間絶縁膜13には、底部に配線12が露出した開口部14が設けられている。そして、開口部14内を含む層間絶縁膜13上に、スパッタリング法に基づき、ITOから成る第1電極31を形成(成膜)する。こうして、図1Aに示す構造を得ることができる。
次いで、第1電極31のパターニングを行った後、全面に、真空蒸着法にて、キナクリドンから成る発光・受光層20を形成(成膜)する。形成された発光・受光層20をパターニングしてもよいし、パターニングしなくともよい。
その後、スパッタリング装置として、平行平板スパッタリング装置あるいはDCマグネトロンスパッタリング装置を用い、プロセスガスとしてアルゴン(Ar)ガスを使用し、室温(あるいは22゜C乃至28゜C)の成膜温度において、スパッタリング法に基づき、導電性の非晶質酸化物から成る(具体的には、IGZOから成る)第2電極32を発光・受光層20上に形成した後、第2電極32を所望の形状に周知のパターニング技術に基づきパターニングする。尚、第2電極32のパターニングは必須ではない。
次いで、スパッタリング条件を変更して、室温(あるいは22゜C乃至28゜C)の成膜温度において、絶縁層40を全面に形成(成膜)する。即ち、スパッタリング法に基づき、絶縁性の非晶質酸化物から成る(具体的には、絶縁材料薄膜から成る)絶縁層40によって第2電極32を被覆する。こうして、図1Bに示す構造を有する実施例1の電子デバイスを得ることができる。

実施例1の[工程-100]と同様にして第1電極31を形成する。但し、実施例1と異なり、層間絶縁膜13上に、コ・スパッタリング法に基づき、上述した透明導電材料から成る第1電極31を形成(成膜)する(図1A参照)。スパッタリング装置として、平行平板スパッタリング装置あるいはDCマグネトロンスパッタリング装置を用い、プロセスガスとしてアルゴン(Ar)ガスを使用し、ターゲットとして、それぞれ、酸化インジウムとセリウムの焼結体、酸化インジウムとガリウムの焼結体、酸化インジウムとタングステンの焼結体、酸化インジウムとチタンの焼結体を用いた。
次いで、第1電極31のパターニングを行った後、第1電極31の表面に紫外線を照射するといった表面処理を、第1電極31に施す。そして、その後、直ちに、全面に、真空蒸着法にて、キナクリドンから成る発光・受光層20を形成(成膜)し、更に、発光・受光層20上に、スパッタリング法に基づき、ITOから成る第2電極32を形成(成膜)する。ここで、スパッタリング法に基づき第2電極を形成する際、スパッタリング装置として、平行平板スパッタリング装置あるいはDCマグネトロンスパッタリング装置を用い、プロセスガスとしてアルゴン(Ar)ガスを使用し、ターゲットとしてITO焼結体を用いた。その後、実施例1の[工程-130]と同様にして、絶縁層40を全面に形成(成膜)する。即ち、スパッタリング法に基づき、絶縁性の非晶質酸化物から成る(具体的には、絶縁材料薄膜から成る)絶縁層40によって第2電極32を被覆する。こうして、図1Bに示す構造を有する実施例4の電子デバイスを得ることができる。
