In order to optimize power consumption for UVFPA readout circuit these methods were adopted, which including single-terminal amplifier under subthreshold region as CTIA amplifier, common current source load for source follow(SF) buffer in column pixels and level shift circuits, and time-sharing tail current source for column buffer. The smallest operational current of CTIA in pixel unit is only 8.5 nA with 3.3 V power supply by using single-terminal amplifier. The ROIC has been fabricated in SMIC 0.18 μm 1P6M mixed signal process and also achieved better performances with the novel design of bias current adjustable. Furthermore, the overall power consumption of the chip is 67.3 mW at 2 MHz in 8-outputs mode by the above methods according to the experimental results.

文摘In the realm of near-infrared spectroscopy,the detection of molecules has been achieved using on-chip waveguides and resonators.In the mid-infrared band,the integration and sensitivity of chemical sensing chips are often constrained by the reliance on off-chip light sources and detectors.In this study,we demonstrate an InAs/GaAsSb superlattice mid-infrared waveguide integrated detector.The GaAsSb waveguide layer and the InAs/GaAsSb superlattice absorbing layer are connected through evanescent coupling,facilitating efficient and highquality detection of mid-infrared light with minimal loss.We conducted a simulation to analyze the photoelectric characteristics of the device.Additionally,we investigated the factors that affect the integration of the InAs/GaAs⁃Sb superlattice photodetector and the GaAsSb waveguide.Optimal thicknesses and lengths for the absorption lay⁃er are determined.When the absorption layer has a thickness of 0.3μm and a length of 50μm,the noise equiva⁃lent power reaches its minimum value,and the quantum efficiency can achieve a value of 68.9%.The utilization of waveguide detectors constructed with Ⅲ-Ⅴ materials offers a more convenient means of integrating mid-infra⁃red light sources and achieving photoelectric detection chips.

文摘The development of InGaAs/InP single-photon avalanche photodiodes(SPADs)necessitates the utiliza-tion of a two-element diffusion technique to achieve accurate manipulation of the multiplication width and the dis-tribution of its electric field.Regarding the issue of accurately predicting the depth of diffusion in InGaAs/InP SPAD,simulation analysis and device development were carried out,focusing on the dual diffusion behavior of zinc atoms.A formula of X_(j)=k√t-t_(0)+c to quantitatively predict the diffusion depth is obtained by fitting the simulated twice-diffusion depths based on a two-dimensional(2D)model.The 2D impurity morphologies and the one-dimensional impurity profiles for the dual-diffused region are characterized by using scanning electron micros-copy and secondary ion mass spectrometry as a function of the diffusion depth,respectively.InGaAs/InP SPAD devices with different dual-diffusion conditions are also fabricated,which show breakdown behaviors well consis-tent with the simulated results under the same junction geometries.The dark count rate(DCR)of the device de-creased as the multiplication width increased,as indicated by the results.DCRs of 2×10^(6),1×10^(5),4×10^(4),and 2×10^(4) were achieved at temperatures of 300 K,273 K,263 K,and 253 K,respectively,with a bias voltage of 3 V,when the multiplication width was 1.5µm.These results demonstrate an effective prediction route for accu-rately controlling the dual-diffused zinc junction geometry in InP-based planar device processing.

文摘Hexagonal boron nitride(h-BN)is found to have widespread application,owing to its outstanding properties,including gate dielectrics,passivation layers,and tunneling layers.The current studies on the funda⁃mental physical properties of these ultrathin h-BN films and the electron tunneling effect among them are inade⁃quate.In this work,the effective mass in h-BN was successfully determined through a combined approach of ex⁃perimental and theoretical research methods by fitting the current-voltage curves of metal/insulator/metal struc⁃tures.It was observed that within a range of 4-22 layers,the effective mass of h-BN exhibits a monotonic de⁃crease with an increase in the number of layers.The physical parameters of the Fowler-Nordheim tunneling model in the context of electron tunneling in h-BN are precisely ascertained by utilizing the extracted effective mass.Ad⁃ditionally,the impact of fixed charges at the metal/h-BN interface and various metal electrode types on FowlerNordheim tunneling within this structure is investigated utilizing this physical parameter in Sentaurus TCAD soft⁃ware.This work is informative and instructive in promoting applications in the fields of h-BN related infrared physics and technology.

文摘The response wavelength of the blocked-impurity-band(BIB)structured infrared detector can reach 200µm,which is the most important very long wavelength infrared astronomical detector.The ion implantation method greatly simplifies the fabrication process of the device,but it is easy to cause lattice damage,introduce crystalline defects,and lead to the increase of the dark current of detectors.Herein,the boron-doped germanium ion implantation process was studied,and the involved lattice damage mechanism was discussed.Experimental conditions involved using 80 keV energy for boron ion implantation,with doses ranging from 1×10^(13)cm^(-2)to 3×10^(15)cm^(-2).After implantation,thermal annealing at 450℃was implemented to optimize dopant activation and mitigate the effects of ion implantation.Various sophisticated characterization techniques,including X-ray dif⁃fraction(XRD),Raman spectroscopy,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS),and secondary ion mass spec⁃trometry(SIMS)were used to clarify lattice damage.At lower doses,no notable structural alterations were ob⁃served.However,as the dosage increased,specific micro distortions became apparent,which could be attributed to point defects and residual strain.The created lattice damage was recovered by thermal treatment,however,an irreversible strain induced by implantation still existed at heavily dosed samples.
