[0001] The utility model relates to the circuit technical field of amplification circuit, especially relates to a kind of amplification circuit for X-ray flat panel detector. BACKGROUND

[0002] Mainstream commercial flat panel detector is mainly based on TFT process passive pixel (PPS) and based on CMOS process active pixel (APS) sensing circuit.

[0003] Active pixel APS improves signal-to-noise ratio by integrating common source or common drain amplifier inside the pixel, but in a single pixel, the total area of the pixel is limited, fill rate=photoelectric device area / total area of single pixel, the more transistors, the less area left for photoelectric device, and fill rate will decrease, and resolution is negatively related to the size of single pixel area, the smaller the pixel area, the higher the resolution, but limited by manufacturing process, the increase of transistor number will lead to that single pixel cannot be laid out, only the pixel area can be increased, which leads to the decrease of resolution, so the spatial resolution and fill rate are greatly limited, active pixel APS has active transistor inside which can amplify signal, so it has high gain compared with passive pixel PPS, but active pixel PPS starts exposure by row scanning, and all rows complete the work mode, so when a row works, other rows do not work but are still exposed, so that the utilization rate of X-ray is low, most of the X-ray working time is in empty exposure state.

[0004] Passive pixel PPS has the advantages of simple structure and high spatial resolution, but because passive pixel PPS has no amplifier inside, it needs to amplify signal through external charge amplifier, which leads to low sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio, and cannot meet the detection requirements under weak light and low dose X-ray conditions.

[0067] The amplification circuit of the embodiment is equivalent to the amplification circuit of the first embodiment.

[0068] Embodiment Six

[0069] The embodiment one is connected with an active pixel unit to form a 3T1D active pixel circuit shown in Fig. 6, wherein the active pixel unit comprises a photoelectric device, in this embodiment, the photoelectric device is a photodiode PD, the anode of the photodiode PD is connected with the drain of a first double-gate thin film transistor TFT1 through a signal line, and the cathode of the photodiode PD is connected with a first power supply V DD1 .

[0070] Embodiment seven

[0071] This embodiment discloses a second 3T1D active pixel circuit, which is different from the embodiment six in that: the photoelectric device of the active pixel unit is a photoconductive material photoelectric device; the photoconductive material photoelectric device includes but is not limited to halide, calcium, titanium, and minerals.

[0072] Specifically, the first power supply V DD1 is connected with the photoelectric device, the first power supply V DD1 is used to provide a reverse bias voltage for the photoelectric device; the photoelectric device is connected with the drain of a first double-gate thin film transistor TFT1; the drain of the first double-gate thin film transistor TFT1 is connected with the bottom gate of the first double-gate thin film transistor TFT1 through a third thin film transistor TFT3, and the third thin film transistor TFT3 is a switch tube; the source of the first double-gate thin film transistor TFT1 is grounded; the photoelectric device is connected with the bottom gate of a second double-gate thin film transistor TFT2; a second power supply V DD2 is connected with the drain of the second double-gate thin film transistor TFT2, and the second power supply V DD2 is used to control the switching state of the second double-gate thin film transistor TFT2; the source of the second double-gate thin film transistor TFT2 is used as a signal output end.

[0073] The 3T1D active pixel circuit of this embodiment can achieve the same function as the 3T1D active pixel circuit of the embodiment six.

[0074] When forming the 3T1D active pixel circuit, three working states can be realized by controlling the first double-gate thin film transistor TFT1, the second double-gate thin film transistor TFT2 and the third thin film transistor TFT3. Next, the 3T1D active pixel circuit is further explained in combination with a specific implementation process as follows:

[0075] The first working state is random reading.

[0076] Referring to Fig. 7, when the first power supply V DD1 is a positive bias voltage, the photodiode PD is in a reverse bias state, at this time, the photodiode PD can perform photosensing, therefore, the photo-generated carriers in the photodiode PD will separate to form photo-generated electron-hole pairs under the action of an electric field, and the photo-generated electron-hole pairs will move to the cathode and the anode of the photodiode PD respectively under the action of an external bias voltage to form a photo-generated current Iphoto , realizes photoelectric conversion process; at this time, the photoelectric diode PD has fast response speed to optical signal and can quickly capture light intensity change; the photo-generated current I photo The expression is as follows:

[0077] Wherein, η0 is the quantum efficiency of the photoelectric diode PD; P is the optical power; A is the light receiving area of the photoelectric diode PD; λ is the wavelength of light; R is the reflection coefficient; α and t are the absorption coefficient and thickness of the active light sensing layer of the photoelectric diode PD respectively; h is the Planck constant; c is the speed of light in vacuum.

[0078] By adjusting the gate voltage V G3 of the third thin film transistor TFT3, the third thin film transistor TFT3 is in an open state, at this time, the first double-gate thin film transistor TFT1 is also in an open state, the first double-gate thin film transistor TFT1 and the photoelectric diode PD are in the same branch, therefore, the current flowing through the two is equal, and the current expressions of the two are as follows: I DS1 =I PD =I dark +I photo

[0079] Wherein, I dark is the dark state current of the photoelectric diode PD; the photo-generated current I photo of the photoelectric diode PD under light conditions flows to the drain of the first double-gate thin film transistor TFT1, and a sensing voltage V DS1 is generated, the sensing voltage V DS1 acts on the second double-gate thin film transistor TFT2. For the first double-gate thin film transistor TFT1 in diode connection mode, the drain voltage (sensing voltage V DS1 ) and the bottom gate voltage V BG1 are equal, and the expressions are as follows: V DS1 =V BG1

[0080] When the first double-gate thin film transistor TFT1 works in the sub-threshold region, according to the current expression of the sub-threshold region of the transistor, the source-drain current I DS1 of the first double-gate thin film transistor TFT1 is as follows:

[0081] Wherein, I D01 is the source-drain current of the first double-gate thin film transistor TFT1 when V BG1 =V TH1 and V DS1 >>kTq; V TH1 is the threshold voltage of the first double-gate thin film transistor TFT1.

[0082] By simplifying the above two equations, we can get:

[0083] The drain voltage of the first double-gate thin film transistor TFT1, i.e. the sensing voltage V DS1 , is expressed as follows:

[0084] From the above derivation, it can be seen that the drain voltage of the first double-gate thin film transistor TFT1 (sensing voltage V DS1 ) is logarithmically related to the light intensity.

[0085] By adjusting the size of the top gate voltage V TG2 of the second double-gate thin film transistor TFT2, the second double-gate thin film transistor TFT2 is made to work in the sub-threshold region, at which time the signal output from the source of the second double-gate thin film transistor TFT2 is in a quasi-linear relationship with the instantaneous light intensity.

[0086] The first working state realizes that each pixel unit can be accessed and read at any time, i.e. the active pixel circuit can be randomly read, which is suitable for fast imaging; and because the output signal is in a quasi-linear relationship with the instantaneous light intensity, the change of the output signal with the light intensity is more obvious under weak light intensity, so the active pixel circuit has higher sensitivity and wider dynamic response range.

[0087] The second working state is integral reading:

[0088] Referring to FIG. 8, the first power supply V DD1 is a forward bias, and the photodiode PD can generate a photo-generated current I photo under light conditions.

[0089] When the third thin film transistor TFT3 is in the off state, the first double-gate thin film transistor TFT1 is also in the off state, so the photo-generated charge generated by the photodiode PD under light conditions does not flow to the first double-gate thin film transistor TFT1, but only flows to the second double-gate thin film transistor TFT2, and the photo-generated charge is stored in the parasitic capacitance of the second double-gate thin film transistor TFT2; the second power supply V DD2 is controlled to make the second double-gate thin film transistor TFT2 in the off state, at which time the photo-generated charge continuously accumulates in the parasitic capacitance; the second power supply V DD2 is controlled to make the second double-gate thin film transistor TFT2 in the on state, at which time the photo-generated charge flows out of the parasitic capacitance to release and thus generate a signal. The second working state realizes that the active pixel circuit has an integral-reading working mode similar to the passive pixel circuit.

[0090] The third working state is random reading and integral reading:

[0091] Referring to Fig. 9, for each row in the array, the second double-gate thin film transistor TFT2 and the third thin film transistor TFT3 are controlled to be in the off state; when performing the first working state (random reading), the second double-gate thin film transistor TFT2 and the third thin film transistor TFT3 are controlled to be in the on state; after the random reading is performed, the second double-gate thin film transistor TFT2 and the third thin film transistor TFT3 are controlled to be in the off state again to perform the integration mode, at this time, other rows in the array are still performing random reading, and the rays are still exposed, and the row performing the random reading can perform the integration mode to store the ray information in the parasitic capacitor; when all rows in the array perform the random reading, the rays are turned off, and the second double-gate thin film transistor TFT2 of each row in the array is controlled row by row to be in the on state, so that the ray information stored in the parasitic capacitor is released for reading.

[0092] When the amplification circuit is connected with the active pixel unit, the third thin film transistor TFT3 works as a switch tube, by controlling the third thin film transistor TFT3, the on or off state of the first double-gate thin film transistor TFT1 is controlled, and the on or off state of the second double-gate thin film transistor TFT2 is controlled by the peripheral circuit, so that the 3T1D active pixel circuit can work in different working modes, thereby improving the utilization rate of the rays; and the drain voltage (sensing voltage V DS1 ) of the first double-gate thin film transistor TFT1 is logarithmically related to the incident light intensity, which can effectively widen the dynamic response range of the pixel circuit; and the second double-gate thin film transistor TFT2 works as an amplifier, which improves the sensitivity of the 3T1D active pixel circuit under weak light conditions; therefore, in Embodiment Six and Embodiment Seven, after the amplification circuit is connected with the active pixel unit, the lower limit of detection can be reduced, thereby expanding the dynamic response range.

[0093] Embodiment Eight

[0094] The active pixel unit in Embodiment One is connected with the multi-column passive pixel unit to form a 3T passive pixel amplification circuit shown in Fig. 10, and each passive pixel unit includes a photodiode PD and a transistor TFT, and the transistor TFT is connected with the amplification circuit 1.

[0095] The passive pixel units (Pixel 1.1, Pixel 2.1, Pixel m.1, Pixel 1.2, Pixel 2.2, Pixel m.2,...) in each column are connected in series, so that the plurality of passive pixel units can be connected with only one amplification circuit, that is, the plurality of passive pixel units share one amplification circuit, so that only one switch thin film transistor (transistor TFT in FIG. 11) needs to be reserved in the passive pixel unit, which greatly improves the pixel fill factor, and at the same time, the amplification circuit 1 is applied outside the passive pixel unit, that is, when the first row is turned on and the other rows are turned off, the amplification circuit 1 and the passive pixel units in the first row constitute an active pixel, and when the second row is turned on and the other rows are turned off, the amplification circuit 1 and the passive pixel units in the second row constitute an active pixel. Through this mode of sharing the same amplification circuit, both the fill factor and the high sensitivity and wide dynamic characteristics of the active pixel can be improved, that is, the high sensitivity and wide dynamic range characteristics of the 3T amplification circuit are retained.

[0096] Therefore, the amplification circuit disclosed in the present application can be applied to both active pixels and passive pixels, that is, the amplification circuit can be connected with active pixel units or passive pixel units.

[0097] When the amplification circuit is used for active pixel units, high gain, high radiation utilization rate, and multiple working modes can be obtained, so that it not only has the signal amplification advantage of traditional active pixel circuits, but also solves the problem of low radiation utilization rate of traditional active pixel circuits.

[0098] When the amplification circuit is used for passive pixels, high gain and high resolution can be obtained, so that it not only has the signal amplification advantage of traditional active pixel circuits, but also solves the problem of low signal-to-noise ratio of traditional passive pixel circuits and the inability to detect weak signals.

[0099] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not used to limit the present application, and any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
