摘要: The present disclosure describes a detector used in critical dimension scanning electron microscopes (CD-SEM) and review SEM systems. In one embodiment, the detector includes a semiconductor structure having a p-n junction and a hole through which a scanning beam is passed to a target. The detector also includes a top electrode for the p-n junction (e.g., anode or cathode) that provides an active area for detecting electrons or electromagnetic radiation (e.g., backscattering from the target). The top electrode has a doped layer and can also have a buried portion beneath the doped layer to reduce a series resistance of the top electrode without changing the active area. In another embodiment, an isolation structure can be formed in the semiconductor structure near sidewalls of the hole to electrically isolate the active area from the sidewalls. A method for forming the buried portion of the top electrode is also described.

摘要: This disclosure relates to a radiation sensor element comprising a semiconductor substrate, having a bulk refractive index; a front surface; a back surface, extending substantially along a base plane; and a plurality of pixel portions. Each pixel portion comprises a collection region on the back surface and a textured region on the front surface. The textured regions comprise high aspect ratio nanostructures, extending substantially along a thickness direction perpendicular to the base plane and forming an optical conversion layer, having an effective refractive index gradually changing towards the bulk refractive index to reduce reflection of light incident on said pixel portion from the front side of the semiconductor substrate.

摘要: A device for producing electricity. In one embodiment, the device comprises a doped germanium or a doped GaAs substrate and a plurality of stacked material layers (some of which are doped) above the substrate. These stacked material layers, which capture beta particles and generate electrical current, may include, in various embodiments, GaAs, InAlP, InGaP, InAlGaP, AlGaAs, and other semiconductor materials. A radioisotope source generates beta particles that impinge the stack, create electron-hole pairs, and thereby generate electrical current. In another embodiment the device comprises a plurality of epi-liftoff layers and a backing support material. The devices can be connected in series or parallel.

摘要: An x-ray detector can be small and have efficient cooling. In one embodiment, the x-ray detector can comprise a thermoelectric cooler (TEC) with upper electrical connections, a support, a cap, and a silicon drift detector (SDD). A planar side of the support can be directly affixed to upper electrical connections of the TEC. The support can have a non-planar side, opposite of the planar side, with a raised structure. A bottom face of the cap can be affixed to the raised structure, forming a cavity between the cap and the non-planar side of the support. The SDD can be affixed to a top face of the cap. In another embodiment, the non-planar side of the support can face the TEC. In another embodiment, a PIN photodiode can be directly affixed to a plate and the plate directly affixed to upper electrical connections of the TEC.

摘要: An avalanche diode including a gain region and a readout structure including an n-type (p-type) region having electrically isolated segments each including implanted regions; a p-type (n-type) region; and a first electrode on each of the segments. The gain region includes a p-n junction buried between the n-type region and the p-type region: an n+-type region having a higher n-type dopant density than the n-type region; a p+-type region having a higher p-type dopant density than the p-type region; and the p-n junction between the n+-type region and the p+-type region. A bias between the first electrodes and a second electrode (ohmically contacting the p-type (n-type) region) reverse biases the p-n junction. Electrons generated in response to electromagnetic radiation or charged particles generate additional electrons m the gain region through impact ionization but the segmented region comprises a low field region isolating the gain region from the first electrodes.
