Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of uncooled infrared detectors, and in particular to an open-hole microbridge structure and a preparation method thereof, and a focal plane array. Background Art
[0002] Uncooled infrared detectors are mainly based on the thermal effect of infrared radiation. When infrared radiation is incident on the detector, the infrared radiation energy is first converted into thermal energy by the infrared absorption material. This process causes the temperature of the sensitive element to rise. The resistivity of the sensitive element will change with the change of temperature, and then the change of resistivity will be converted into an electrical signal through a certain conversion mechanism. After further processing and measurement, the detection and imaging effect of the target object is finally achieved.
[0003] Among them, the higher the absorption characteristic of the detector to infrared radiation, the more sensitive the device is and the faster the response speed. However, the single-layer microbridge structure can no longer meet the current demand for absorption characteristics, and is gradually being replaced by a double-layer or multi-layer microbridge structure, such as an umbrella-shaped microbridge structure and focal plane array disclosed in Chinese patent CN216899263U. The umbrella-shaped microbridge structure includes a substrate provided with a readout circuit, a thermosensitive bridge deck electrically connected to the readout circuit, and a bridge pier fixed on the substrate to support the thermosensitive bridge deck; an umbrella-shaped absorption layer is provided above the thermosensitive bridge deck; the absorption layer includes a curved absorption layer and a supporting hole connected to the thermosensitive bridge deck; the curved absorption layer is a concave curved surface structure or a convex curved surface structure. The umbrella-shaped microbridge structure of the utility model creatively transforms the traditional planar absorption layer into a dual design of an umbrella-shaped plus curved surface structure, and designs more dense folds to expand the absorption area of the absorption layer and improve the absorption effect of the detector pixel.
[0004] Although the double-layer microbridge structure can provide an extra layer of resonant cavity, it can obtain a higher filling factor, and at the same time, it increases the infrared absorption area and improves the absorption characteristics of the device. However, the double-layer microbridge structure will introduce additional heat capacity, thereby reducing the response speed of the device. Therefore, how to improve the response speed of the device and improve the absorption characteristics is a problem that needs to be solved at present. Summary of the invention

The simulation results are shown in Table 1.
[0102] Table 1 Simulation results
[0103]
[0104]
[0105] Result analysis:
[0106] 1. From the simulation results of Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Example 3, it can be seen that the matrix sizes of Example 1, Example 2, and Example 3 increase successively, but in the average absorption rate of 8μm-14μm, the difference among the three is less than 0.2%, and in the absorption rate of 10μm, the difference among the three is even smaller, and the simulation results are closer, indicating that when the first through hole has the same proportion, the size of the matrix has little effect on the result, but they are all better than Comparative Example 3.
[0107] 2. From the simulation results of Example 1, Example 4, Example 5, Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 2, and Comparative Example 3, it can be seen that when the proportion of the first through holes exceeds the range of 10% to 60%, whether lower or higher than this range, the average absorption rate of 8μm-14μm and the absorption rate of 10μm are significantly reduced, and it can be found that when the proportion of the first through holes reaches 60%, the average absorption rate of 8μm-14μm and the absorption rate of 10μm are most ideal, and are significantly better than Comparative Example 3.
[0108] 3. From the simulation results of Examples 6 to 9 and Comparative Examples 3, 7, and 8, it can be seen that when the first through hole accounts for 10% to 60% and the second through hole accounts for no more than 30%, the absorption rate of 10 μm is slightly improved, and it can also be found that when the proportion of the second through hole gradually increases within the range of no more than 30%, the average absorption rate of 8 μm-14 μm shows an upward trend, and when the proportion of the second through hole reaches 30%, the average absorption rate of 8 μm-14 μm and the absorption rate of 10 μm reach the maximum value;
[0109] When either the first through hole or the second through hole is out of the range, the average absorption rate of 8μm-14μm and the absorption rate of 10μm are significantly reduced; when both are out of the range, the average absorption rate of 8μm-14μm and the absorption rate of 10μm reach the lowest value, further illustrating that the ideal effect can be achieved when the proportion of the first through hole is within the range of 10% to 60% and the proportion of the second through hole is within the range of no more than 30%.
[0110] 4. From the simulation results of Examples 10 to 12 and Comparative Example 3, it can be seen that the effects of the first through hole and the second through hole are very close when they are completely staggered, different in size and corresponding up and down, and the same in size and corresponding up and down. However, perhaps because the proportion of the first through hole and the second through hole is relatively small in the interval, there is still a certain gap with the result of Example 8, which shows that the up and down relationship between the first through hole and the second through hole does not have a big impact on the result, but they are all better than Comparative Example 3.
[0111] 5. Combine Figures 4 to 6 From the simulation results of Example 8 and Comparative Examples 3 to 6, it can be seen that only opening the second through hole on the umbrella surface layer cannot improve the absorption rate, and the simulation results are very close to those of Comparative Example 3. Figure 5 and Figure 6 It can be seen that the curve trend of opening only the first through hole on the umbrella surface is very similar to that of the traditional double-layer micro-bridge structure, with a large overall fluctuation, resulting in a lower average absorption rate of 8μm-14μm. Figure 4 It can be seen that under the synergistic effect of the first through hole and the second through hole, the curve fluctuation is significantly reduced, and it can be found that the absorption rate of 10μm is closer to 100%.
[0112] The reasons for the above results may be:
[0113] 1. The opening of the first through hole and the second through hole can release the first sacrificial layer and the second sacrificial layer more cleanly, thereby reducing the performance impact caused by the residue of the first sacrificial layer and the second sacrificial layer;
[0114] 2. The opening of the first through hole and the second through hole helps to optimize the structure of the corresponding first resonant cavity and the second resonant cavity, and the diffraction effect can be used to enhance the absorption of infrared radiation. When infrared radiation irradiates the thermosensitive layer of the thermosensitive bridge surface, part of the light will be diffracted through the diffraction window formed by the first through hole and the second through hole, so that the infrared radiation that is not directly absorbed by the thermosensitive layer is reflected multiple times in the corresponding first resonant cavity and the second resonant cavity, increasing the path length of the light in the thermosensitive layer and improving the infrared absorption rate;
[0115] 3. If the proportion of the first through hole is too large, the effective absorption area of the thermal sensitive bridge surface will be reduced. Similarly, if the proportion of the second through hole is too large, the effective absorption area of the umbrella surface layer will be reduced, thereby reducing its absorption capacity of infrared radiation. Because the thermal sensitive bridge surface mainly relies on the thermal layer to absorb infrared light and convert the temperature into voltage or current to transmit to the circuit on the substrate, if the proportion is too large, the area of the thermal layer will be reduced, and the conversion of the thermal layer resistance value will be worse, which will directly affect the absorption rate and indirectly affect the imaging effect.
[0116] In summary, the simulation experiment using CST software proves that the perforated microbridge structure in this scheme can greatly improve the detector's absorption rate of infrared light compared to the traditional double-layer microbridge structure. And from the experimental data, it can be seen that under the synergistic effect of the first through hole opened on the thermal sensitive bridge surface and the second through hole opened on the umbrella surface layer, compared with the traditional double-layer microbridge structure, the average absorption rate of 8μm-14μm can be increased by about 13%, and the absorption rate of 10μm is closer to 100%.
