Problems solved by technology

[0013] In the existing manufacturing process of the mesa-type InGaAs focal plane detector chip, the conventional inductively coupled plasma chemical vapor deposition growth passivation film has a large warpage of the large area detector chip due to the high stress of the film. , which is not conducive to the control of the connectivity rate of the short-wave infrared focal plane flip welding process; and due to the high stress of the film, the reliability of the film is poor, and the subsequent heat treatment process will easily cause the surface of the film to bubble and fall off, resulting in poor reliability of the large area detector chip
