Abstract
A double-sided 3D trench electrode detector (DS-3DTED) structure is proposed in this work to investigate the manufacturing process implementation of 3D detectors for high-energy physics, x-ray spectroscopy and x-ray cosmology applications. The device's electrical characterization, including electrostatic potential and electric field distributions, I–V, C–V, full depletion voltage and transient current with x-ray incidence, was performed with Synopsys® Sentaurus TCAD tools. In addition, a manufacturing method to realize the DS-3DTED device is presented. A 311 μm deep trench has been achieved through the Bosch process on the IMECAS 8-inch CMOS platform to verify the feasibility of the device structure. The maximum depth-to-width ratio is close to 105:1 when the trench width is 2 μm, which is an excellent foundation for manufacturing future 3D detector with a large fill factor and small dead region.
期刊介绍:
Section A of Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research publishes papers on design, manufacturing and performance of scientific instruments with an emphasis on large scale facilities. This includes the development of particle accelerators, ion sources, beam transport systems and target arrangements as well as the use of secondary phenomena such as synchrotron radiation and free electron lasers. It also includes all types of instrumentation for the detection and spectrometry of radiations from high energy processes and nuclear decays, as well as instrumentation for experiments at nuclear reactors. Specialized electronics for nuclear and other types of spectrometry as well as computerization of measurements and control systems in this area also find their place in the A section.
Theoretical as well as experimental papers are accepted.
