Fully Depleted SOI Pixel Photo Detectors with Backgate Surface Potential Pinning
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel SOI (Silicon-On-Insulator) pixel photo detector with full depletion and backgate surface potential pinning is proposed in this paper. The detector greatly increases charge-to-voltage conversion gain while stabilizing the operation of SOI circuits. Low noise and wide dynamic range operations are attained. A double doping technique increasing potential barrier to holes at the surface region is effective for a stable operation to the variation of back bias voltage. The structure of the pixel detector and simulation results of potential distributions are described.

Evaluation of Monolithic Silicon-On-Insulator Pixel Devices Thinned to 100 m
Abstract– We are developing monolithic pixel devices utilizing a 0.2 μm Fully Depleted Silicon-on-Insulator (FD-SOI) process technology provided by OKI Semiconductor. We have investigated thinning the devices to 100 μm. Thinning enhances the feature of monolithic SOI sensors in views of minimizing the overall material and realizing full depleted devices.

We developed and characterized Monolithic pixel detectors in deep-submicron Fully Depleted (FD) Silicon On Insulator (SOI) technology. This paper presents the first studies of total dose effects from ionizing radiation performed on single transistor test structures. This work shows how the substrate bias condition during irradiation heavily affects the resulting radiation damage.

A silicon-on-insulator (SOI) process for pixelated radiation detectors is developed. It is based on a 0.2 mm CMOS fully depleted (FD-)SOI technology. The SOI wafer is composed of a thick, high-resistivity substrate for the sensing part and a thin Si layer for CMOS circuits. Two types of pixel detectors, one integration-type and the other counting-type, are developed and tested. We confirmed goo...

This paper presents a novel full-depletion Si X-ray detector based on silicon-on-insulator pixel (SOIPIX) technology using a pinned depleted diode structure, named the SOIPIX-PDD. The SOIPIX-PDD greatly reduces stray capacitance at the charge sensing node, the dark current of the detector, and capacitive coupling between the sensing node and SOI circuits. These features of the SOIPIX-PDD lead t...
