Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of thin film deposition, and in particular to a thin film deposition device and a thin film deposition method. Background Art

[0002] With the development of HgCdTe infrared focal plane detector technology, dark current reduction is an important direction for improving the performance of infrared focal plane devices, and p-on-n devices are an important development direction for reducing device dark current. At present, the scale of device arrays continues to increase, the pixel pitch continues to decrease, and high-temperature working devices are developing rapidly. Among them, p-on-n devices based on molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) technology have become one of the development directions. The schematic diagram of its device structure is shown in the figure below. Figure 1 As shown, in this structure, a mesa structure is arranged on the surface of the substrate 11; the mesa structure includes an n-type layer 12 and a p-type layer 13 arranged in sequence along the thickness direction, and a passivation layer 14 is arranged on the surface of the mesa structure; the protruding part of the mesa structure is a pixel, and a P-type contact electrode 15 is arranged on the surface of the pixel.

[0003] Sidewall passivation is a key preparation process to bring out the performance advantages of the device. When the center distance of the pixel is reduced to less than 10 microns, to ensure the performance of the device, the table pixel needs a high duty cycle, that is, the gap between the pixels must have a higher aspect ratio. Therefore, the passivation film layer on the sidewall is required to be consistent with the passivation film layer on the surface in composition, thickness and density. In short, for mercury cadmium telluride infrared detectors, the quality of the passivation film layer will affect the final performance of the device.

[0004] However, when existing equipment is passivating the mesa structure, the passivation film layer on the side wall is thinner than the passivation film layer on the plane, and the step coverage is uneven, resulting in a large leakage current on the side wall of the mesa structure, which increases the device noise equivalent temperature difference (NETD) and response non-uniformity, affecting device performance at the least and causing device failure at the worst, making the detector unable to work normally.
