X射线检测技术广泛应用于工业无损检测、集装箱扫描、电路板检查、医疗、安防、工业等领域,具有广阔的应用前景。传统的X-Ray成像技术属于模拟信号成像,分辨率不高,图像质量较差。20世纪90年代末出现的X射线数字化成像技术(Digital Radio Graphy,DR)采用X射线平板探测器直接将X影像转换为数字图像,因其转换的数字图像清晰,分辨率高,且易于保存和传送,已成为目前研究的热点。根据结构的不同,X射线平板探测器分为直接转换型(Direct DR)与间接转换型(Indirect DR)。其中,由于间接转换型X射线平板探测器技术较为成熟,成本相对低,探测量子效率(Detective Quantum Efficiency,DQE)高,信赖性好等优势得到了广泛的开发与应用。X-ray inspection technology is widely used in industrial non-destructive inspection, container scanning, circuit board inspection, medical treatment, security, industry and other fields, and has broad application prospects. Traditional X-Ray imaging technology belongs to analog signal imaging, with low resolution and poor image quality. The X-ray digital imaging technology (Digital Radio Graphy, DR) that appeared in the late 1990s uses X-ray flat-panel detectors to directly convert X images into digital images, because the converted digital images are clear, high-resolution, and easy to save and Transmission has become a focus of current research. According to different structures, X-ray flat panel detectors are divided into direct conversion type (Direct DR) and indirect conversion type (Indirect DR). Among them, the indirect conversion type X-ray flat panel detector technology is relatively mature, the cost is relatively low, the detection quantum efficiency (Detective Quantum Efficiency, DQE) is high, and the reliability is good, and other advantages have been extensively developed and applied.
X射线平板探测器主要包括薄膜晶体管(Thin Film Transistor,TFT)与光电转换器件。在X射线照射下,间接转换型X射线平板探测器的闪烁体层或荧光体层将X射线光子转换为可见光,然后在光电转换器件的作用下将可见光转换为电信号,最终通过晶体管读取电信号并将电信号输出得到显示图像。X-ray flat panel detectors mainly include Thin Film Transistor (TFT) and photoelectric conversion devices. Under X-ray irradiation, the scintillator layer or phosphor layer of the indirect conversion type X-ray flat panel detector converts X-ray photons into visible light, and then converts the visible light into electrical signals under the action of photoelectric conversion devices, and finally reads them through a transistor The electrical signal is output and the electrical signal is output to obtain a display image.

The via hole from the metal layer to the indium tin oxide layer, and the bias line is electrically connected to the indium tin oxide layer, so as to load a bias voltage to the top electrode of the photoelectric conversion device. The via will cause a reduction in the area of the photoelectric conversion device, resulting in a reduction in the filling rate.
针对相关技术中存在的上述问题,本公开实施例提供了一种探测基板、其制作方法及平板探测器。In view of the above-mentioned problems in the related art, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a detection substrate, a manufacturing method thereof, and a flat panel detector.
本公开实施例提供的一种探测基板,如图1至图3所示,包括:A detection substrate provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, includes:
衬底基板101; Base substrate 101;
驱动电路102,位于衬底基板101之上;The driving circuit 102 is located on the base substrate 101;
光电转换器件103,位于衬底基板101之上,光电转换器件103的底电极1031与驱动电路102电连接;The photoelectric conversion device 103 is located on the base substrate 101, and the bottom electrode 1031 of the photoelectric conversion device 103 is electrically connected to the driving circuit 102;
偏压线104,位于光电转换器件103背离衬底基板101的一侧,在垂直于衬底基板101的方向上,偏压线104与光电转换器件103互不重叠;The bias line 104 is located on the side of the photoelectric conversion device 103 away from the base substrate 101, and in a direction perpendicular to the base substrate 101, the bias line 104 and the photoelectric conversion device 103 do not overlap each other;
透明搭接部105,位于光电转换器件103背离衬底基板101的一侧,光电 转换器件103的顶电极1031通过透明搭接部105与偏压线104电连接。The transparent overlap portion 105 is located on the side of the photoelectric conversion device 103 away from the base substrate 101. The top electrode 1031 of the photoelectric conversion device 103 is electrically connected to the bias line 104 through the transparent overlap portion 105.
在本公开实施例提供的上述探测基板中,偏压线104与光电转换器件103互不重叠,且通过透明搭接部105与光电转换器件103的顶电极1032电连接,使得无需设置贯穿源漏金属层至氧化铟锡层的过孔,不会影响光电转换器件103的底电极1031的面积;同时,因为偏压线104与光电转换器件103互不重叠,所以偏压线104不会遮挡光电转换器件103;此外,虽然透明搭接部105和光电转换器件103具有交叠面积,但因透明搭接部105是透明的,故不会导致光电转换器件103有效面积的减小。基于以上原由,提高了像素填充率。另外,相关技术中设置在源漏极金属层的偏压线与光电转换器件103的底电极1031之间会形成耦合电容,造成线噪声增加,影响探测灵敏度和信噪比。本公开中,偏压线104与光电转换器件103互不重叠,避免了偏压线104与光电转换器件103的底电极1031之间形成耦合电容,从而提高了探测灵敏度和信噪比。此外,在偏压线104为金属材质的情况下,因金属的电阻率小于氧化铟锡的电阻率,从而解决了相关技术中整面设置氧化铟锡造成的电阻负载较大的问题,保证了整个探测区域内的偏压一致性。In the above-mentioned detection substrate provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the bias line 104 and the photoelectric conversion device 103 do not overlap each other, and are electrically connected to the top electrode 1032 of the photoelectric conversion device 103 through the transparent lap 105, so that there is no need to provide a through source and drain. The via hole from the metal layer to the indium tin oxide layer will not affect the area of the bottom electrode 1031 of the photoelectric conversion device 103; at the same time, because the bias line 104 and the photoelectric conversion device 103 do not overlap each other, the bias line 104 will not block the photoelectric conversion device 103. Conversion device 103; In addition, although the transparent overlap portion 105 and the photoelectric conversion device 103 have an overlapping area, because the transparent overlap portion 105 is transparent, it will not lead to a reduction in the effective area of the photoelectric conversion device 103. Based on the above reasons, the pixel fill rate is improved. In addition, in the related art, a coupling capacitance is formed between the bias line provided in the source and drain metal layer and the bottom electrode 1031 of the photoelectric conversion device 103, which causes an increase in line noise and affects detection sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio. In the present disclosure, the bias line 104 and the photoelectric conversion device 103 do not overlap each other, which avoids the formation of a coupling capacitance between the bias line 104 and the bottom electrode 1031 of the photoelectric conversion device 103, thereby improving detection sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio. In addition, when the bias line 104 is made of metal, the resistivity of the metal is less than the resistivity of indium tin oxide, which solves the problem of relatively large resistive load caused by indium tin oxide on the entire surface in the related art, and ensures The bias voltage is consistent throughout the detection area.
一般地,光电转换器件103还包括位于底电极1031与顶电极1032之间的光电转换结构1033,光电转换结构1033可以为PN结构或PIN结构。具体的,PIN结构包括N型掺杂的N型半导体层、不掺杂的本征半导体层和P型掺杂的P型半导体层。本征半导体层的厚度可以大于P型半导体层和N型半导体层的厚度。Generally, the photoelectric conversion device 103 further includes a photoelectric conversion structure 1033 located between the bottom electrode 1031 and the top electrode 1032, and the photoelectric conversion structure 1033 may be a PN structure or a PIN structure. Specifically, the PIN structure includes an N-type doped N-type semiconductor layer, an undoped intrinsic semiconductor layer, and a P-type doped P-type semiconductor layer. The thickness of the intrinsic semiconductor layer may be greater than the thickness of the P-type semiconductor layer and the N-type semiconductor layer.
光电转换结构1033将光信号转化为电信号,光电转换器件103的底电极1031和顶电极1032之间存在正对面积,两者之间形成存储电容,经过光电转换结构1033转换后的电信号存储在上述存储电容中。另外,顶电极1032在衬底基板101上的正投影位于光电转换结构1033在衬底基板100上的正投影内,即顶电极1032的面积稍小于光电转换结构1033的面积,如图3所示,顶电极1032的边缘与光电转换结构1033边缘之间的距离为1μm~3μm,比如可以是1.0μm、1.5μm、1.8μm、2.0μm、2.5μm、3.0μm等。通过上述设置, 可减小光电转换结构1033的侧壁由于刻蚀时损伤而造成的漏电流。具体地,可由钼、铝、银、铜、钛、铂、钨、钽、氮化钽、其合金及其组合或其它合适的材料形成底电极1031;并可由铟锡氧化物(ITO)或铟锌氧化物(IZO)或其它合适的材料形成顶电极1032和透明搭接部105,以提高光线透射效率。The photoelectric conversion structure 1033 converts optical signals into electrical signals. There is a facing area between the bottom electrode 1031 and the top electrode 1032 of the photoelectric conversion device 103, and a storage capacitor is formed between the two. The electrical signal converted by the photoelectric conversion structure 1033 is stored In the above storage capacitor. In addition, the orthographic projection of the top electrode 1032 on the base substrate 101 is within the orthographic projection of the photoelectric conversion structure 1033 on the base substrate 100, that is, the area of the top electrode 1032 is slightly smaller than the area of the photoelectric conversion structure 1033, as shown in FIG. 3 The distance between the edge of the top electrode 1032 and the edge of the photoelectric conversion structure 1033 is 1 μm to 3 μm, such as 1.0 μm, 1.5 μm, 1.8 μm, 2.0 μm, 2.5 μm, 3.0 μm, etc. Through the above arrangement, the leakage current caused by the damage to the sidewall of the photoelectric conversion structure 1033 during etching can be reduced. Specifically, the bottom electrode 1031 may be formed of molybdenum, aluminum, silver, copper, titanium, platinum, tungsten, tantalum, tantalum nitride, alloys and combinations thereof, or other suitable materials; and may be formed of indium tin oxide (ITO) or indium Zinc oxide (IZO) or other suitable materials are used to form the top electrode 1032 and the transparent overlapping portion 105 to improve light transmission efficiency.
可选地,衬底基板101可以是柔性衬底基板,例如由聚乙烯醚邻苯二甲酸酯、聚萘二甲酸乙二醇酯、聚碳酸酯、多芳基化合物、聚醚酰亚胺、聚醚砜或聚酰亚胺等具有优良的耐热性和耐久性的塑料基板;还可以是刚性衬底基板,例如玻璃基板,在此不做限定。Optionally, the base substrate 101 may be a flexible base substrate, such as polyvinyl ether phthalate, polyethylene naphthalate, polycarbonate, polyarylate, and polyetherimide. , Polyethersulfone, polyimide, etc., have excellent heat resistance and durability plastic substrates; it can also be a rigid substrate, such as a glass substrate, which is not limited here.
可选地,在本公开实施例提供的上述探测基板中,每一偏压线104通过同一透明搭接部105与其两侧的光电转换器件103电连接,如图1和图3所示。也就是说,偏压线104设置在相邻两列探测像素单元P的间隙处,并可以采用同一透明搭接部105电连接该偏压线104两侧的两个光电转换器件103的顶电极,如图1和图3所示。当然,在具体实施时,也可以采用同一透明搭接部105电连接一偏压线104两侧的两列光电转换器件103的顶电极;这种情况下,仍可以在一定程度上改善相关技术中整面设置氧化铟锡造成的电阻负载较大的现象,但相较于图1和图3所示采用同一透明搭接部105电连接一偏压线104两侧的两个光电转换器件103的顶电极的技术方案,其改善效果有限。Optionally, in the aforementioned detection substrate provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, each bias line 104 is electrically connected to the photoelectric conversion device 103 on both sides of the same transparent overlap portion 105, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3. In other words, the bias line 104 is arranged at the gap between two adjacent columns of detection pixel units P, and the same transparent lap 105 can be used to electrically connect the top electrodes of the two photoelectric conversion devices 103 on both sides of the bias line 104 , As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3. Of course, in specific implementation, the same transparent lap 105 can also be used to electrically connect the top electrodes of the two rows of photoelectric conversion devices 103 on both sides of a bias line 104; in this case, the related technology can still be improved to a certain extent. The resistance load caused by the placement of indium tin oxide on the entire surface is relatively large, but compared to the one shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the same transparent lap 105 is used to electrically connect two photoelectric conversion devices 103 on both sides of a bias line 104 The technical solution of the top electrode has limited improvement effect.
可选地,在本发明实施例提供的上述探测基板中,如图3所示,透明搭接部105位于偏压线104背离衬底基板101的一侧,且与偏压线104直接接触连接。由于相关技术中,在探测基板的绑定区的顶层具有透明引线层105’,可选地,透明搭接部105位于偏压线104背离衬底基板101的一侧的情况下,则可以将透明搭接部105与绑定(bonding)区的透明引线层105’通过一次构图工艺制作完成,节省工艺流程。Optionally, in the above-mentioned detection substrate provided by the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3, the transparent lap portion 105 is located on the side of the bias line 104 away from the base substrate 101, and is in direct contact and connection with the bias line 104 . In the related art, the top layer of the bonding area of the detection substrate has a transparent lead layer 105'. Optionally, the transparent lap 105 is located on the side of the bias line 104 away from the base substrate 101. The transparent lap portion 105 and the transparent lead layer 105' in the bonding area are manufactured by one patterning process, which saves the process flow.
可选地,在本公开实施例提供的上述探测基板中,如图3所示,还可以包括:位于偏压线104所在层与光电转换器件103所在层之间的绝缘层106;Optionally, in the detection substrate provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 3, it may further include: an insulating layer 106 located between the layer where the bias line 104 is located and the layer where the photoelectric conversion device 103 is located;
透明搭接部105通过贯穿绝缘层106的过孔与光电转换器件103的顶电 极电连接。可选地,绝缘层106包括:依次位于光电转换器件103所在层背离衬底基板101一侧的缓冲层1061、平坦层1062和钝化层1063。缓冲层1061和钝化层1063的材料可以为氧化硅、氮化硅、氮氧化硅其中之一或任意组合;平坦层1062的材料可以为聚丙烯酸树脂、聚环氧丙烯酸树脂、感光性聚酰亚胺树脂、聚酯丙烯酸酯、聚氨酯丙烯酸酯树脂、酚醛环氧压克力树脂等有机绝缘材料,在此不做限定。The transparent overlap portion 105 is electrically connected to the top electrode of the photoelectric conversion device 103 through a via hole penetrating the insulating layer 106. As shown in FIG. Optionally, the insulating layer 106 includes: a buffer layer 1061, a planarization layer 1062, and a passivation layer 1063 that are sequentially located on the side of the layer where the photoelectric conversion device 103 is located away from the base substrate 101. The material of the buffer layer 1061 and the passivation layer 1063 can be one or any combination of silicon oxide, silicon nitride, and silicon oxynitride; the material of the flat layer 1062 can be polyacrylic resin, polyepoxy acrylic resin, photosensitive polyamide Organic insulating materials such as imine resin, polyester acrylate, urethane acrylate resin, and novolac epoxy acrylic resin are not limited here.
可选地,在本公开实施例提供的探测基板中,如图1和图2所示,还包括:延伸方向相互交叉的多条栅线107和数据线108;Optionally, the detection substrate provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, further includes: a plurality of gate lines 107 and data lines 108 whose extension directions cross each other;
在数据线108的延伸方向上,相邻光电转换器件103之间具有两条栅线107;In the extending direction of the data line 108, there are two gate lines 107 between adjacent photoelectric conversion devices 103;
偏压线104的延伸方向与数据线108的延伸方向相同,在栅线107的延伸方向上,数据线108与偏压线104交替设置在各光电转换器件103之间。The extension direction of the bias line 104 is the same as the extension direction of the data line 108. In the extension direction of the gate line 107, the data line 108 and the bias line 104 are alternately arranged between the photoelectric conversion devices 103.
通过设置双栅走线的方式,可以使相邻的两列探测像素单元P共用一条数据线108(如图1所示),节省了数据线108的数量,因读取芯片(Readout IC,ROIC)通过与数据线108一一对应的通道实现电信号读取的功能,因此,在数据线108减半的基础上,ROIC的通道数也可相应地减少一半。由于通道数在很大程度上影响了探测器背板的模组成本,因此本公开采用双栅走线的方式,有效降低了探测器的成本。可选地,在本公开实施例提供的上述探测基板中,如图3所示,还包括:与偏压线104同层设置的多个遮光部109;By arranging the double-gate wiring method, two adjacent columns of detection pixel units P can share a data line 108 (as shown in FIG. 1), which saves the number of data lines 108, because the readout IC (ROIC, ROIC) ) The function of reading electrical signals is realized through the channels corresponding to the data line 108 one-to-one.
