Detailed Description
Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be embodied in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.
On one hand, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for manufacturing a mercury cadmium telluride infrared focal plane device, as shown in fig. 1, where the method includes:
s101, injecting arsenic ions into the indium-doped tellurium-cadmium-mercury epitaxial layer from the part to-be-processed surface of the indium-doped tellurium-cadmium-mercury epitaxial layer;
the "indium tellurium cadmium mercury doped epitaxial layer" can be understood as indium ions doped in the indium tellurium cadmium mercury material. In addition, it should be noted that arsenic ions are implanted from a part of the surface to be processed of the epitaxial layer doped with indium, cadmium and mercury, so that a part of the region inside the epitaxial layer doped with indium, cadmium and mercury has arsenic ions, and a part of the region is free of arsenic ions. The area with arsenic ions in the indium tellurium cadmium mercury doped epitaxial layer can form a P-type area, and the indium tellurium cadmium mercury doped epitaxial layer without arsenic ions is an N-type area.
S102, putting the indium tellurium cadmium mercury doped epitaxial layer injected with arsenic ions into a heating tube filled with gaseous mercury, and vacuumizing and heating the heating tube;
it can be understood that the indium-doped tellurium-cadmium-mercury epitaxial layer processed in step S101 needs to be heated in a vacuum environment with mercury. As the arsenic ion As is an amphoteric doping element, the arsenic ion As can be used As shallow donor AsHg+Placed at Hg position to form N type, and can be used As shallow acceptor AsTe-And placing the mixture in a Te position of tellurium to form a P type. Through the heating process, arsenic ions can be activated, and mercury can interact with the indium-doped mercury cadmium telluride epitaxial layer, so that the electrical property of the indium-doped mercury cadmium telluride epitaxial layer is kept in an N type.
S103, sequentially plating a cadmium telluride film and a first zinc sulfide film on the surface to be treated of the heated indium tellurium cadmium mercury doped epitaxial layer;
it should be noted that step S103 may be understood as a process of passivation. Therefore, the probability of surface leakage current of the p-on-n type mercury cadmium telluride infrared focal plane device can be effectively reduced.
S104, putting the indium-doped tellurium-cadmium-mercury epitaxial layer plated with the cadmium telluride film and the first zinc sulfide film into a heating tube filled with gaseous mercury, and vacuumizing and heating the heating tube;
it can be understood that the indium-doped tellurium-cadmium-mercury epitaxial layer plated with the cadmium telluride film and the first zinc sulfide film after the step S103 needs to be heated in a vacuum environment with mercury. Therefore, the interdiffusion between the indium-doped mercury cadmium telluride epitaxial layer and the cadmium telluride film can be realized, the probability of surface leakage current of the p-on-N type mercury cadmium telluride infrared focal plane device can be further reduced, and the mercury and the indium-doped mercury cadmium telluride epitaxial layer can interact with each other, so that the electrical property of the indium-doped mercury cadmium telluride epitaxial layer is kept in an N type.
S105, removing the first zinc sulfide film, and plating a second zinc sulfide film on the surface of the cadmium telluride film far away from the indium-doped mercury cadmium telluride epitaxial layer.
Therefore, mercury doping in the first zinc sulfide film can be avoided.
By adopting the preparation method of the mercury cadmium telluride infrared focal plane device, the p-on-n type mercury cadmium telluride infrared focal plane device can be formed, the carrier concentration of the p-on-n type mercury cadmium telluride infrared focal plane device can be easily controlled within a certain range through indium doping, and the long service life of minority carriers (holes) can be obtained more easily, so that the dark current in the mercury cadmium telluride infrared focal plane device can be reduced, and the zero offset resistance value can be improved. And the majority carriers (electrons) have high mobility, so that the series resistance thereof can be effectively reduced. In addition, the p region is formed by injecting arsenic ions, and the p region and the n-on-p in the related technology are the planar junction technology, so that the compatibility of the existing process line is facilitated, and the preparation of a focal plane device with a larger area array and a smaller distance is facilitated.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the carrier concentration of the indium-doped HgCdTe epitaxial layer (i.e., the indium-doped concentration) is at 1014-1015cm-3Within the range. Experiments prove that the indium doping concentration in the range can ensure that the dark current is smaller.
On the basis of the above-described embodiment, various modified embodiments are further proposed, and it is to be noted herein that, in order to make the description brief, only the differences from the above-described embodiment are described in the various modified embodiments.

coating photoresist on the surface to be processed of the indium tellurium cadmium mercury doped epitaxial layer, and carrying out photoetching to form at least one photoetching area;
adopting an ion implantation technology to implant arsenic ions into the indium-doped tellurium-cadmium-mercury epitaxial layer from a non-photoetching area of the surface to be treated;
and removing the photoresist on the surface to be processed.

According to some embodiments of the invention, the implantation density of arsenic ions is b, 2e14/cm2≤b≤2e15/cm2. The implantation density influences the doping concentration of arsenic ions, and the implantation concentration is controlled within the range, so that a P-type region can be formed in the indium-doped tellurium-cadmium-mercury epitaxial layer.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, the implantation angle of the arsenic ions may be between 5 degrees and 9 degrees, for example, the implantation angle of the arsenic ions may be 7 degrees.

Continuously heating the heating pipe at a first temperature for a first time period;
continuously heating the heating pipe at a second temperature for a second time period;
wherein the second temperature is less than the first temperature.
Therefore, the high-temperature annealing can complete the electrical activation of arsenic ions and eliminate the crystal lattice damage, and the low-temperature annealing can fill mercury vacancies to recover the electrical property of the indium-doped tellurium-cadmium-mercury epitaxy into an N type.
In some examples of the invention, the first temperature may range from 370 degrees celsius to 430 degrees celsius. The second temperature may range from 230 degrees celsius to 270 degrees celsius.

In some embodiments of the invention, the heating tube may be a quartz tube. The heating pipe can be horizontally placed in an annealing furnace for high-low temperature annealing treatment.
In some embodiments of the invention, a magnetron sputtering process is adopted to sequentially plate a cadmium telluride film and a first zinc sulfide film on the surface to be treated of the heated indium tellurium cadmium mercury doped epitaxial layer.
According to some embodiments of the invention, the cadmium telluride plated film has a thickness of 100 nm or more and 200nm or less;
the thickness of the first zinc sulfide film is not less than 200nm and not more than 300 nm.
According to some embodiments of the invention, placing the indium-doped tellurium-cadmium-mercury epitaxial layer plated with the cadmium telluride film and the first zinc sulfide film into a heating tube filled with gaseous mercury, and vacuumizing and heating the heating tube comprises:
putting the indium tellurium cadmium mercury doped epitaxial layer plated with the cadmium telluride film and the first zinc sulfide film into a heating tube;
putting liquid mercury into the heating pipe, and carrying out vacuum packaging on the heating pipe;
continuously heating the heating pipe at a third temperature for a third time period;
continuously heating the heating pipe at a fourth temperature for a fourth time period;
wherein the fourth temperature is less than the third temperature.
Therefore, interdiffusion between the indium-doped mercury cadmium telluride epitaxial layer and the cadmium telluride film can be completed through high-temperature annealing, the probability of surface leakage current of the p-on-N type mercury cadmium telluride infrared focal plane device can be further reduced, and mercury vacancies can be filled through low-temperature annealing to restore the electrical property of the indium-doped mercury cadmium telluride epitaxial layer to an N type.
In some examples of the invention, the first temperature may range from 270 degrees celsius to 330 degrees celsius. The second temperature may range from 230 degrees celsius to 270 degrees celsius. For example, the first temperature may be 300 degrees celsius and the second temperature may be 250 degrees celsius.
Further, the first time period may be less than the second time period. In some examples of the invention, the first time period may range from 4 hours to 6 hours, and the second time period may range from 65 hours to 80 hours. For example, the first time period may be 5 hours and the second time period may be 72 hours.

For example, a contact hole pattern can be formed on the outer surface of the second zinc disulfide film by photoetching technology, an ultrasonic-assisted wet etching process is adopted, and a proper etching solution is selected to etch the second zinc disulfide film and the cadmium telluride film, so that the contact hole penetrates through the second zinc disulfide film and the cadmium telluride film to communicate the region of the indium-doped mercury cadmium telluride epitaxial layer injected with arsenic ions.
Furthermore, one end of the metal connecting piece penetrates through the contact hole and is connected with the area of the indium tellurium cadmium mercury doped epitaxial layer injected with arsenic ions. The metal connecting piece can be a chromium piece, a gold piece, a platinum piece or the like.
