应用于辐射及弱光探测的硅光电倍增管结构及制备方法Structure and preparation method of silicon photomultiplier tube for radiation and weak light detection

技术领域technical field

本发明涉及电子部件制备方法技术领域,特别是一种应用于辐射及弱光探测的硅光电倍增管结构及制备方法。The invention relates to the technical field of preparation methods of electronic components, in particular to a structure and preparation method of a silicon photomultiplier tube applied to radiation and weak light detection.

背景技术Background technique

在电子领域中,随着科学技术和加工技术的不断发展,科学家们利用各种半导体的特性,研制出了各种不同类型的半导体光电探测器,硅光电探测器又是其中最具潜力的一种。硅光电探测器特别适用于弱光的探测,弱光探测器技术在高能物理、天体物理和核医学成像领域等一直具有非常重要的应用。目前,被最广泛应用的弱光探测器主要是光电倍增管(PMT),其虽然具有较好的探测性能,但由于存在PMT体积大、工作电压高、功耗高、易损坏、同时受光阴极限制探测效率较低、对磁场变化敏感以及不适合制作大规模探测阵列等缺点的影响,限制了其在许多方面的应用。硅光电倍增管(Silicon PhotoMultiplier-SiPM)作为现有光电倍增管的一个分支,是一种最新的探测器,它受到了弱光探测领域研究人员的高度关注,并已经成为弱光探测器技术领域的一个研究热点。In the field of electronics, with the continuous development of science and technology and processing technology, scientists have developed various types of semiconductor photodetectors by using the characteristics of various semiconductors. Silicon photodetectors are one of the most potential ones. kind. Silicon photodetectors are especially suitable for low-light detection, and low-light detector technology has always had very important applications in the fields of high-energy physics, astrophysics, and nuclear medicine imaging. At present, the most widely used low-light detectors are mainly photomultiplier tubes (PMTs). The disadvantages of low detection efficiency, sensitivity to magnetic field changes, and unsuitability for large-scale detection arrays limit its application in many aspects. Silicon PhotoMultiplier (SiPM), as a branch of the existing photomultiplier, is a new type of detector, which has attracted great attention from researchers in the field of weak light detection, and has become the field of weak light detector technology. a research hotspot.

硅光电倍增管是由多个工作在盖革模式下的APD(AvalanchePhotoDiode,雪崩光电二极管)构成的阵列型光电转换器件,每个雪崩光电二极管包含一个大阻值淬灭电阻,所有像素单元并联输出,构成一个面阵列,形成SiPM(硅光电倍增管)。SiPM的单个元胞基本结构如图1所示,其中包括晶圆衬底N+区(101),外延层N-区(102),光线入射端P+区(103),保护环P-区(104),阳极引出端(106),以及淬灭电阻部分(107),和阴极引出端(108)。图2给出了SiPM的拓扑图,器件由多个元胞的基本结构(201)构成,每个元胞结构与淬灭电阻(202)串联构成,所有元胞的阳极并联后引出,所有元胞的阴极并联后引出。SiPM应用中,加上反向偏压(一般是几十V)后,每个像素单元的APD耗尽层有很高的电场,光子进入APD后汇发生康普顿散射,将半导体的价电子激发为自由电子,产生的自由电子在电场中加速,打出大量的次级电子,即通过雪崩放电实现电子倍增;此时,SiPM的每个微元电路中电流突然变大,进而在SiPM的输出端形成电信号;单个APD输出的电荷量为Q。实际情况下,APD的输出不反映入射光子数的多少,仅与像素点的电容量与过阈电压有关;但由于每个像素点的面积很小(通常在几十μm量级),当人射光子数远小于SiPM的像素总和时,2个或多个光子入射同一像素的概率很小,这使得SiPM具备了分辨单个光子的能力,在一定光强范围内,SiPM的输出电荷量与入射光子数成正比,即SiPM具备了光子计数器的功能。The silicon photomultiplier tube is an array photoelectric conversion device composed of multiple APDs (Avalanche PhotoDiode, avalanche photodiodes) operating in Geiger mode. Each avalanche photodiode contains a large resistance quenching resistor, and all pixel units are output in parallel , forming a surface array to form a SiPM (silicon photomultiplier tube). The basic structure of a single cell of SiPM is shown in Figure 1, which includes the wafer substrate N+ region (101), the epitaxial layer N- region (102), the light incident end P+ region (103), the guard ring P- region (104 ), an anode terminal (106), and a quenching resistor portion (107), and a cathode terminal (108). Figure 2 shows the topology of SiPM. The device is composed of basic structures (201) of multiple cells. Each cell structure is connected in series with a quenching resistor (202). The anodes of all cells are connected in parallel, and all cells are connected in parallel. The cathodes of the cells are connected in parallel and drawn out. In SiPM applications, after adding a reverse bias voltage (usually tens of V), the APD depletion layer of each pixel unit has a high electric field. After the photons enter the APD, Compton scattering occurs and the valence electrons of the semiconductor are scattered Excited into free electrons, the generated free electrons are accelerated in the electric field, and a large number of secondary electrons are released, that is, electron multiplication is realized by avalanche discharge; at this time, the current in each micro-element circuit of the SiPM suddenly increases, and then the output of the SiPM is increased. The terminal forms an electrical signal; the amount of charge output by a single APD is Q. In practice, the output of the APD does not reflect the number of incident photons, but is only related to the capacitance of the pixel and the over-threshold voltage; but due to the small area of each pixel (usually in the order of tens of μm), when people When the number of emitted photons is much smaller than the sum of the pixels of the SiPM, the probability of 2 or more photons incident on the same pixel is very small, which makes the SiPM have the ability to distinguish a single photon. The number of photons is proportional, that is, the SiPM has the function of a photon counter.

SiPM由于具有优异的性能,主要用于相关设备的射线测量和探测、工业上的自动控制以及光度计量等;当其被用在红外工作波段时,主要作为导弹的制导、红外热成像仪以及红外遥感等作为探测器,此外,其还可以应用在量子通信的单光子信息载体接收端,以及获得真随机数实现量子保密通信安全密钥分发。SiPM的主要性能指标为:探测效率、暗计数率、增益等,其中探测效率最为关键,直接影响单光子探测性能。SiPM的光子探测效率(PDE)指标主要由三个因子构成:量子探测效率(QE)、入光口的填充因子(FF)以及光生载流子触发雪崩概率(PT),公式表示为:PDE=QE×FF×PT,现有技术中,由于技术限制,光生载流子触发雪崩概率(PT)会受到器件结构影响,而入光口的填充因子(FF)主要会受淬灭电阻(RQ)、顶部引出电极以及像素隔离结构的布局影响,很难达到高效率,而且入光口的填充因子(FF)会随着单位面积像素个数的增多而减少,从而影响量子探测效率,因而对SiPM的有效应用造成了制约。Due to its excellent performance, SiPM is mainly used for ray measurement and detection of related equipment, industrial automatic control and photometric measurement, etc. When it is used in the infrared working band, it is mainly used as missile guidance, infrared thermal imager and infrared Remote sensing, etc. as detectors, in addition, it can also be applied to the receiving end of single-photon information carrier of quantum communication, and obtain true random numbers to realize secure key distribution of quantum confidential communication. The main performance indicators of SiPM are: detection efficiency, dark count rate, gain, etc. Among them, the detection efficiency is the most critical, which directly affects the single-photon detection performance. The photon detection efficiency (PDE) index of SiPM is mainly composed of three factors: quantum detection efficiency (QE), fill factor (FF) of the light entrance, and photo-generated carrier-triggered avalanche probability (PT). The formula is: PDE = QE×FF× PT , in the prior art, due to technical limitations, the photo-generated carrier trigger avalanche probability (PT) is affected by the device structure, and the fill factor (FF) of the light entrance is mainly affected by the quenching resistance (RQ ), the top extraction electrode and the layout of the pixel isolation structure, it is difficult to achieve high efficiency, and the fill factor (FF) of the light entrance will decrease with the increase of the number of pixels per unit area, thus affecting the quantum detection efficiency. The effective application of SiPM creates constraints.
