摘要
研究和分析了一种0.18 μm CMOS工艺单光子雪崩二极管(SPAD), 其结构能抑制过早的边缘击穿(PEB), 同时获得较大的光电流和低的暗计数率(DCR).该SPAD由p-well/deep n-well的感光结, deep n-well向上扩散形成的区域和边缘Shallow Trench Isolation(STI)共同形成的保护环组成.通过测试确定了与光电流和暗率有关的STI层的大小.结果证明, 在STI层与保护环之间的重叠区域为1 μm 时, SPAD的暗计数率和光电流最佳.此外, 直径为10 μm的圆形SPAD器件的暗计数率为208 Hz, 且在波长为510 nm时峰值光子探测概率为20.8%, 此时具有低的暗计数率和高的探测效率以及宽的光谱响应特性.
Abstract
A 0.18 μm CMOS process single photon avalanche diode (SPAD) was examined in this study in an effort to inhibit premature edge breakdown (PEB) and secure large photocurrent and low dark count rate (DCR). The SPAD consists of a p-well/deep n-well photosensitive junction and a guard ring as-formed by a deep n-well up-diffused region and an edge STI. The size of the STI layer related to the light current and dark rate was determined via test. The results indicate that the photocurrent and dark count of the SPAD are optimal when the overlapping length between the STI and guard ring is 1 μm at room temperature. The SPAD with 10 μm diameter has high photon detection probability (PDP), wide spectral response, dark count rate as low as 208 Hz, and 20.8% peak PDP when the wavelength is 510 nm.
