Description

A kind of non-refrigeration infrared detector heat insulation substrate preparation method
Technical field
The invention provides a kind of preparation method of non-refrigeration infrared detector heat insulation substrate, belong to the MEMS field.
Background technology
Infrared sensor is divided into two classes, a kind of is the photon type sensor, mainly utilize the interband of low-gap semiconductor to absorb caused photovoltaic effect and come sense infrared emissions, because the thermal agitation under the room temperature has been enough to excite band-to-band transition, so need to use cooled with liquid nitrogen.Another kind of is non-refrigeration sensor, and the variation of temperature of mainly utilizing infra-red radiation to cause by the minor variations of detecting temperature, is come detection of a target object.As: the detector of thermal reactor and many pyroelectricity classes.This class sensor does not need cooled with liquid nitrogen, so be called non-refrigeration sensor.
The key of making non-refrigerating infrared sensor is to make absorber heat insulation, so that the temperature rise that infrared ray causes that absorber absorbed is enough to be detected.For a long time, this heat insulation processing mainly is to utilize hanging bridge, for example adopts silicon nitride bridge to wait to realize, this hanging bridge structure can adopt the method for back side borehole or surface micro to make.Yet owing to be hanging structure, fracture takes place or produces to disturb in the sensor of this hanging bridge structure easily under the situation of being clashed into or shaking.In addition, make the hanging bridge structure and occupied space greatly, make this class detector probe unit size difficulty reduce, the raising of the resolution ratio of focal plane arrays (FPA) is difficulty relatively.For this reason, there has been report to utilize the silicon island that at the bottom of heat shield liner such as glass, makes isolation fully to make Infrared Detectors.Yet because the temperature that can bear of glass is lower than 600 ℃, this has brought difficulty for subsequent technique as the making of diffusion and annealing process, therefore only is applicable to the making of operative sensor.In addition, adopt silicon nitride bridge technology also to limit the size of each cell sensor, reach 50 * 50 microns 2Be difficult to.
Porous silicon since its can visible emitting be studied for many years, in addition because characteristics such as its good oxidation characteristic and dielectric loss be low are considered to one of desirable substrate of making passive device.In addition, the silica of loose structure also is good heat-barrier material.The relevant low thermal conductivity of porous silicon of utilizing is made the more existing reports of heat-proof device.Yet, find when directly on porous silicon, making infrared acquisition material such as electric heating film, because the loose structure on surface has caused the degradation of thin-film material.Thereby offset the heat insulation benefit of bringing of porous silicon.
Obviously, if can between porous silicon and infra-red material, insert a kind of intermediate layer, improve, thereby improve the performance of device because the air spots that porous silicon causes can increase substantially the crystal mass of infra-red material.
In addition, infrared on from the head-on radiation to the sensing unit has greatly and may flow out from the back side with the form of radiation.In solar cell, raise the efficiency by lower floor's deposit reflectance coating in the p-i-n structure, therefore, will can in porous silicon, enable to stop the infrared cotton suittings of the wave band that survey by the change of micro-structural? utilize the characteristics of the refractive index of porous silicon with the cell size variation, people have produced the photonic crystal of 1.5 microns infrared rays being realized total reflection, obviously, if change different cell size porous silicons thickness, just may design and produce out the photonic crystal that plays the total reflection effect at far infrared band, like this, just might stop of the radiation of specific band infrared ray, and then improve detection efficient from substrate.
Summary of the invention
The object of the present invention is to provide a kind of preparation method of non-refrigeration infrared detector heat insulation substrate easy and simple to handle, solve because the uneven electric heating film degradation that causes of porous silicon surface, thus the problem of reduction device performance.
For realizing purpose of the present invention, the preparation method of non-refrigeration infrared detector heat insulation substrate provided by the present invention may further comprise the steps:
The first step adopts anodizing to make porous silicon on silicon substrate;

Utilize silicon substrate directly to make some transistors as needs, resistance silicon is that resistivity is at 1~10 Ω cm in then needing to select.For this class silicon chip, adopt the thickness of the porous silicon that general anode oxidation method often obtains very shallow, have only 3~5 microns.Utilize preparation method of the present invention, utilize the growth of porous silicon mainly to rely on these characteristics of hole, excite the hole, can be implemented on this class substrate and grow thick porous silicon from the illumination of the silicon substrate back side.
In order to improve the detection efficient of Infrared Detectors, the cell size difference of utilizing different current density anodic oxidations to form, according to the refractive index difference, can utilize transfer matrix to calculate, with the design of the band gap of photonic crystal at detecting band (as 8~12 microns of characteristics of human body's wave bands).General p-(100) silicon chip of selecting on the technology, the high cell size corrosion electric current density of resistivity 0.01~0.02 Ω cm is 60~80mA/cm 2, and low cell size is 10~30mA/cm 2. in addition, owing to before the silicon nitride film deposit, must carry out suitable oxidation, therefore the situation after when the design of photon band gap, must taking into account oxidation, in order to obtain the energy gap of broad, it is necessary that the refractive index of different cell sizes is had than big-difference, generally requires high cell size layer complete oxidation, and the oxidation rate of low cell size is relatively slow, therefore be in the incomplete oxidation state, to obtain bigger average effective refractive index.Suitably the control oxidization time is this technology key of success.In order to improve effect of heat insulation, the present invention also proposes and need carry out certain oxidation processes to porous silicon.Between 400~900 ℃ of the general selections of oxidation, adopt dried oxygen technology, temperature 5 minutes to 120 minutes.
In second step, using plasma strengthens chemical vapour deposition (CVD) (PECVD) method or sol-gel process deposit one deck transition zone silicon nitride film on porous silicon, is made into the non-refrigeration infrared detector heat insulation substrate.
Deposit one deck transition layer film on porous silicon, as infrared or hygrosensor, can absorb the infrared ray of 8-14 micron waveband because of silicon nitride film, therefore can be on porous silicon deposition silicon nitride film, using plasma strengthens chemical gaseous phase depositing process this area researcher is common process, and adopting reacting gas is silane and ammonia, also has diluent gas nitrogen in addition, underlayer temperature is 280 ℃~450 ℃, generally adopts the excitation of plasma of the 13.3MHz of the about 500W of power.The pressure of gas and flow also depend on instrument itself.Some reference parameters can find in the semiconductor technology of many public publications.The thickness of silicon nitride depends on the time of deposit, is generally about 1 micron to be advisable.
Like this, non-refrigeration infrared detector heat insulation substrate of the present invention just completes, and element manufacturing is thereafter just carried out on this one deck silicon nitride film.
