附图说明
为了更清楚地说明本申请实施例或相关技术中的技术方案,下面将对实施例或相关技术描述中所需要使用的附图作以简单地介绍,显而易见地,下面描述中的附图是本申请的一些实施例,对于本领域普通技术人员来讲,在不付出创造性劳动的前提下,还可以根据这些附图获得其他的附图。

图2为图1中感光电路结构的等效电路图的工作时序图;
图3为本申请实施例提供的一种感光电路结构的等效电路图一;
图4为本申请实施例提供的一种感光电路结构的等效电路图二;
图5为本申请实施例提供的一种感光电路结构的等效电路图三;
图6为本申请实施例提供的一种感光电路结构的复位晶体管和控制晶体 管的结构示意图。
具体实施方式
相关技术中,图像探测器的像素的感光电路结构中通常包括多个晶体管。下面结合具有三个晶体管的感光电路结构的等效电路图以及其工作时序图进行详细说明。图1为相关技术中提供的感光电路结构的等效电路图,图2为图1中感光电路结构的等效电路图的工作时序图。参照图1所示,相关技术中的感光电路结构的等效电路中包括重置开关晶体管Trst、源极跟随器晶体管Tsf、选择开关晶体管Tsel和光电二极管PD。
重置开关晶体管Trst的输入端和重置电压Vrst电连接,重置开关晶体管Trst的输出端和光电二极管PD的负极端电连接,重置开关晶体管Trst的控制端和重置信号端电连接。源极跟随器晶体管Tsf的输入端和电源电压Vdd电连接,源极跟随器晶体管Tsf的输出端和选择开关晶体管Tsel的输入端电连接,源极跟随器晶体管Tsf的控制端和光电二极管PD的负极端电连接。选择开关晶体管Tsel的控制端与选择信号端电连接,选择开关晶体管Tsel的输出端输出电压Vout。
结合图2所示,在曝光开始之前,通过重置信号Reset开启重置开关晶体管Trst,把光电二极管PD反向偏置到重置电压Vrst上,该重置电压Vrst对光电二极管PD的PN结电容充电,充电的电荷量Qrst满足下述关系:
Qrst=CPD·Vrst         式一
其中,式一中CPD为PN结电容的电容量。重置开关晶体管Trst完成充电后,在重置信号Reset的作用下关闭,使光电二极管PD结点(即光电二极管PD的负极端)成为悬浮状态,此时,当入射光照强度Iph=0时,光电二极管PD的重置电压Vrst和电荷量Qrst都保持在PN结电容上。
在曝光开始时,当光电二极管的PN结上有入射光照射时,光量子激发在PN结上产生电子-空穴对,使PN结电容上的电荷发生复合,PN结电容上的电荷量QPD开始从Qrst值下降,光电二极管PD的电压VPD开始从Vrst值下降。在受不同光照强度Iph照射的光电二极管PD上,PN结电容的电荷量QPD下降的速率不同,光电二极管PD的电压VPD下降的速率也不同。 光电二极管PD的电压VPD经过源极跟随器晶体管Tsf后转换成输出电压Vout。
光电二极管PD在不同光照强度Iph照射下,经过相同曝光时间Texp后,更高光照强度下在PN结上产生更多数量的光生载流子,使PN结电容上的电荷复合后电荷量QPD更低,光电二极管PD的电压VPD也更低。因此,当光照强度Iph1<Iph2<Iph3时,对应的,PN结电容上的电荷量QPD1>QPD2>QPD3,光电二极管PD的电压VPD1>VPD2>VPD3,光电二极管PD的电压经过源极跟随器晶体管Tsf输出的电压Vo1>Vo2>Vo3,这里源极跟随器晶体管Tsf的电压增益略小于1。其中,从重置信号(Reset)结束,到选择信号(Select)开始之间的时间为光电二极管PD的实际曝光时间Texp。
在上述的感光电路结构中,重置开关晶体管Trst、源极跟随器晶体管Tsf、选择开关晶体管Tsel一般均选用多晶硅晶体管。由于多晶硅晶体管开关的漏电流比较大,从而导致感光电路结构中多晶硅晶体管的散粒噪声比较大,散粒噪声满足下述关系:
σ TFT-shot=sqrt(I TFT-offFT)       式二
其中,式二中σ TFT-shot为散粒噪声,I TFT-off为晶体管的漏电流,τ FT为积分时间,由此可见,漏电流越大,散粒噪声越大。
漏电流可以理解为晶体管关闭状态下源极和漏极之间流过的电流。对于重置开关晶体管Trst而言,其控制了光电二极管PD反向偏置过程,因此如果重置开关晶体管Trst处的漏电流较大,会严重影响光电二极管PD的光电转换后电信号的输出,造成输出的电信号能量较低,进而导致该感光电路结构的信噪比降低。因此,当该感光电路结构应用在图像探测器中,图像探测器输出的图像信号,受到感光电路结构中的噪声信号的影响,也会导致输出图像的品质降低。
为了解决上述技术问题,本申请实施例提供一种感光电路结构和光学器件,该感光电路结构包括感光单元、信号放大单元和控制单元,感光单元包括光电二极管与复位晶体管,信号放大单元包括放大晶体管,控制单元包括控制晶体管。复位晶体管的输入端与供电端电连接,复位晶体管的输出端与放大晶体管的控制端电连接,复位晶体管的控制端与复位信号端电连接;放大晶体管的输入端与供电端电连接,放大晶体管的输出端与控制晶体管的输 入端电连接,控制晶体管的控制端与控制信号端电连接,从而使感光单元可以将光信号转换成电信号,电信号可以控制信号放大单元将供电端的电信号传递至控制单元的控制输出端,进而可以实现控制感光电路结构的功能。
通过设置复位晶体管的漏电流小于放大晶体管的漏电流,并设置控制晶体管的漏电流小于放大晶体管的漏电流,有效减小感光电路结构中的漏电流的问题,提高该感光电路结构的信噪比。同时,通过设置复位晶体管的载流子迁移率小于放大晶体管的载流子迁移率,并设置复位晶体管的载流子迁移率小于控制晶体管的载流子迁移率,可以提高感光电路结构的信号响应速度,从而提升该感光电路结构的工作性能。
为使本申请实施例的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合本申请实施例中的附图,对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例是本申请一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本申请中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有作出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本申请保护的范围。
图3为本申请实施例提供的一种感光电路结构的等效电路图一;图4为本申请实施例提供的一种感光电路结构的等效电路图二;图5为本申请实施例提供的一种感光电路结构的等效电路图三;图6为本申请实施例提供的一种感光电路结构的复位晶体管和控制晶体管的结构示意图。
参照图3至图6所示,本申请实施例提供一种感光电路结构,包括:感光单元10、信号放大单元20和控制单元30。
感光单元10的输入端与供电端VDD电连接,感光单元10的输出端与信号放大单元20的控制端电连接。信号放大单元20的输入端与供电端VDD电连接,信号放大单元20的输出端与控制单元30的输入端电连接。
感光电路结构可以设置在衬底100上,衬底100的材料可以是单晶硅、多晶硅、无定形硅、硅锗化合物或绝缘体上硅(silicon-on-insulator,简称为SOI)等;也可以是有机或无机膜层,例如聚酰亚胺(Polyimide,简称为PI)等;还可以是本领域技术人员已知的其他材料,衬底100可以为设置在衬底100上的其余结构层提供支撑基础。感光单元10、信号放大单元20、控制单元30以及供电端VDD之间的电连接可以通过埋入金属线的方式实现。
结合图3所示,该感光单元10中设置有复位晶体管T1,信号放大单元 20中设置有放大晶体管T2,控制单元30中设置有控制晶体管T3。在该感光电路结构中,复位晶体管T1的输入端与供电端VDD电连接,复位晶体管T1的输出端与放大晶体管T2的控制端电连接,复位晶体管T1的控制端与复位信号端Rst电连接。放大晶体管T2的输入端与供电端VDD电连接,放大晶体管T2的输出端与控制晶体管T3的输入端电连接,控制晶体管T3的控制端与控制信号端Gate电连接。
示例性的,复位晶体管T1的输入端和放大晶体管T2的输入端也可以如同上述的相关技术中一样,分别连接不同的电压端。本实施例中将两者同时连接至供电端VDD可以有效简化该感光电路结构。
本实施例提供的感光电路结构的工作过程可以是:
在感光单元10受到光线照射之前,感光单元10中的复位晶体管T1导通以控制供电端VDD向感光单元10输入电信号,并在感光单元10具有初始电信号时关断。在感光单元10受到光线照射时,感光单元10可以将接收的光信号转变为电信号,该电信号与感光单元10的初始电信号复合后,传递至信号放大单元20的放大晶体管T2的控制端,以使放大晶体管T2的输出端可以跟随该电信号,并输出与之对应的跟随电信号。该跟随电信号可以传输至控制晶体管T3的输入端,通过控制输入控制晶体管T3的控制端的控制信号,可以实现控制控制晶体管T3的通断的目的。当控制晶体管T3导通时,该跟随电信号可以传递至控制晶体管T3的输出端。
需要强调的是,在本实施例中,复位晶体管T1的漏电流小于放大晶体管T2的漏电流;控制晶体管T3的漏电流也小于放大晶体管T2的漏电流。示例性的,复位晶体管T1的漏电流小于控制晶体管T3的漏电流。
就复位晶体管T1而言,感光单元10是将由光信号转变的电信号与初始电信号复合以获得复合电信号,为了保证复合电信号的真实性,需要降低感光单元10中的噪声,而噪声和晶体管的漏电流正相关。因此,可以通过降低感光单元10中复位晶体管T1的漏电流的方式,以保证复合电信号的真实性,从而有利于保证复合电信号经过后续的信号放大单元20及控制单元30后,最终可以输出高信噪比的输出电信号。
就控制晶体管T3而言,控制晶体管T3需要将信号放大单元20传输至控制晶体管T3的输入端的跟随电信号输出,而控制晶体管T3的漏电流越小, 经由控制晶体管T3输出的电信号中掺杂的噪声就越少,因此,可以通过降低控制晶体管T3的漏电流的方式,以进一步提高输出电信号的信噪比。
作为一种实施方式,为提高该感光电路结构的响应速度,可以设置复位晶体管T1的载流子迁移率小于放大晶体管T2的载流子迁移率;同时,可以设置复位晶体管T1的载流子迁移率小于控制晶体管T3的载流子迁移率。基于放大晶体管T2可以跟随复合电信号产生跟随电信号,并将跟随电信号传递至控制晶体管T3,而控制晶体管T3可以控制跟随电信号的输出过程,因此提高两者的载流子迁移率,可以有效提高感光电路结构的电信号输出效率,从而提升感光电路结构的工作性能。放大晶体管T2的载流子迁移率可以大于控制晶体管T3的载流子迁移率;或者,放大晶体管T2的载流子迁移率可以小于控制晶体管T3的载流子迁移率。
参照图3至图5所示,本申请实施例提供的一种实现方式中,感光单元10可以包括光电二极管D1,光电二极管D1的正极与反向偏置电压端Vbias电连接,光电二极管D1的负极电连接在复位晶体管T1的输出端和放大晶体管的T2的控制端之间。
这样的设置可以在复位过程中通过复位晶体管T1向感光单元10提供复位信号,以导通供电端VDD和光电二极管D1,实现光电二极管D1的初始上电的状态。在反向偏置过程中,通过反向偏置电压端Vbias向光电二极管D1提供反向偏置信号,以实现光电二极管D1的反向偏置过程,从而调整光电二极管D1的不同工作状态,保证感光单元10的工作性能。
其中,复位信号端Rst发出的复位信号通过控制复位晶体管T1的控制端,可以使复位晶体管T1导通,从而使供电端VDD的电信号输送至放大晶体管T2的控制端。
参照图6所示,光电二极管D1的负极可以直接与复位晶体管T1的源极和漏极中的一个电极抵接,以实现两者的电连接。当然,在一些实施例中,复位晶体管T1、光电二极管D1、复位信号端Rst以及反向偏置电压端Vbias之间在结构上可不存在相互抵接的关系,上述结构之间的电连接关系也可以通过埋入金属线的方式实现,本实施例对此并不加以限制。
下面结合光电二极管D1详细说明本实施例的感光单元10的具体工作过程:
首先是初始上电阶段,复位晶体管T1在复位信号端Rst的控制下导通,供电端VDD与光电二极管D1的负极侧电连接,预设时间之后,复位信号端Rst控制复位晶体管T1关断。在这个过程中,光电二极管D1的与复位晶体管T1的输出端连接的节点处获取初始电压后进入工作状态。
接着是光电转换阶段,在光照环境下,光电二极管D1产生光电流并向光电二极管D1的负极侧注入电子,以使光电二极管D1的负极侧的电压持续降低。在光电转换阶段,光电二极管D1的负极侧的电压降低量为δ。由于光电二极管D1的负极侧同时与放大晶体管T2控制端电连接,因此,在光电二极管D1的负极侧的电压持续降低的过程中,放大晶体管T2的输出电压也跟随降低。
继而是电信号读取阶段,感光单元10曝光一段时间后,控制晶体管T3在控制信号端Gate的控制下导通,控制晶体管T3的输入端与放大晶体管T2的输出端导通,获取来自放大晶体管T2的输出端的电压信号,并通过控制晶体管T3的输出端输出该电压信号。
其中,由于光电流的变化与光电二极管D1的负极侧的电压变化正相关,而光电二极管D1的负极侧的电压变化量δ与光照强度正相关,所以光照强度越大,光电二极管D1的负极侧的电压变化量δ越大,光电二极管D1的负极侧的电压值越小,放大晶体管T2的输出电压值也越小,控制晶体管T3输出的电压信号也就越小,从而可以通过检测控制晶体管T3输出的电压信号大小来确定照射在光电二极管D1上的光照强度。
在上述的光电二极管D1的工作过程中,还会存在反向偏置阶段,该反向偏置阶段可以根据用户的需求设置在多个光电转换阶段之间,以保证光电二极管D1的工作性能的稳定。由于光电二极管D1长时间的负极侧注入电子,导致其处于偏置状态,影响光电二极管D1的光电转换过程。因此,需要对其进行反向偏置调整。具体的过程可以是,通过反向偏置电压端Vbias向光电二极管D1的正极侧提供反向偏置电压,消除光电二极管D1中的偏置电压,维持光电二极管D1的高效的光电转换性能。
为进一步维持感光单元10的电信号的稳定输出,参照图4所示,本申请实施例提供的一种实现方式中,感光单元10包括存储电容C1,存储电容C1的第一电极C1a与光电二极管D1的正极电连接,存储电容C1的第二电极 C1b与光电二极管D1的负极电连接。存储电容C1可以用于存储光电二极管D1在光照时产生的电信号或向光电二极管D1提供缓冲电信号,从而有利于保证光电二极管D1的负极侧的电信号可以稳定输出,以提高对信号放大单元20的控制效果。
如图5所示,本申请实施例提供的一种实现方式中,感光电路结构还包括运算放大单元40,控制单元30的输出端与运算放大单元40的输入端电连接。运算放大单元40包括运算放大器L、电容器Cs、可调电容器Cf以及相关双取样电路CDS1和CDS2,控制单元30的输出端与运算放大器L的反相输入端连接,运算放大器L的正向输入端连接参考输入端REF_TFT,运算放大器L的输出端连接相关双取样电路CDS1和CDS2。可调电容器Cf的两个电极分别连接运算放大器L的反相输入端和运算放大器L的输出端。该运算放大单元40可以对控制单元30的输出端输出的电信号进行运算处理,以便后续生成高品质的图像。
本申请实施例提供的一种实现方式中,感光电路结构还包括分压单元50,示例性的,分压单元50可以包括晶体管T4、电阻等。本实施例以分压单元50为晶体管T4为例进行说明。分压单元50的输入端电连接在控制单元30的输出端和运算放大单元40的输入端之间,分压单元50的输出端与地线GND电连接,从而可以调控电路中的电流。
需要指出的是,本实施例中以感光电路结构具有三个晶体管为例进行说明,在其他实施例中,该感光电路结构同样可以包括四个晶体管、五个晶体管以及七个晶体管,其设置的方式及原理与本实施例的感光电路结构类似,此处不再赘述。
下面结合图6详细说明该感光电路结构的具体结构。感光电路结构可以包括至少两个缓冲层,复位晶体管T1、放大晶体管T2与控制晶体管T3三者中的至少两个采用不同的有源层并分别位于两个不同的缓冲层上。示例性的,感光电路结构可以包括两个缓冲层,复位晶体管T1可以位于其中一个缓冲层上,放大晶体管T2和控制晶体管T3可以位于另一个缓冲层上;或者,感光电路结构可以包括三个缓冲层,复位晶体管T1、放大晶体管T2和控制晶体管T3分别位于三个缓冲层上。
复位晶体管T1可以为金属氧化物晶体管或非晶硅晶体管。放大晶体管 T2可以为低温多晶硅晶体管、高迁金属氧化物晶体管、碳化硅晶体管、碳纳米管晶体管中的任一种。控制晶体管T3可以为N型高迁金属氧化物晶体管、P型低温多晶硅晶体管、P型碳纳米管晶体管中的任一种。
示例性的,放大晶体管T2和控制晶体管T3可以均为多晶硅晶体管,由于多晶硅晶体管具有较高的迁移率、较快的响应速度以及较强的抗光干扰能力,从而不仅有利于保证控制晶体管T3和放大晶体管T2的性能和可靠性;而且有利于保证复位晶体管T1的载流子迁移率小于放大晶体管T2的载流子迁移率和控制晶体管T3的载流子迁移率。

具体的,第一沟槽和第二沟槽在沿第一缓冲层210的延伸方向间隔设置,可以有效避免两者之间在结构上相互干扰,同时避免第一沟槽中的第一源极和第一漏极中的一者11和第二沟槽中的第一源极和第一漏极中的另一者12在工作中,发生电信号干扰的问题,保证复位晶体管T1的工作稳定性。本实施例对第一沟槽和第二沟槽的间隔距离并不加以限制。

基于控制晶体管T3、放大晶体管T2与复位晶体管T1分别控制感光电路结构中不同部位的电信号的导通,因此将控制晶体管T3与复位晶体管T1两者从结构上相互分离,一方面可以有效避免两者结构上的相互干扰,减小该感光电路结构的制备难度,另一方面也可以避免两者在使用过程中发生电信号干扰,从而提高两者结构和工作性能的稳定性。或,将放大晶体管T2与复位晶体管T1两者从结构上相互分离,一方面可以有效避免两者结构上的相互干扰,减小该感光电路结构的制备难度,另一方面也可以避免两者在使用过程中发生电信号干扰,从而提高两者结构和工作性能的稳定性。本实施例对控制晶体管T3与复位晶体管T1的间距,或,对放大晶体管T2与复位晶体管T1的间距并不加以限制。
