Description

紅外線感測晶片Infrared sensing chip

本發明是有關於一種紅外線感測晶片,特別是指一種利用焦電原理作動且與積體電路整合為單晶片的紅外線感測晶片。The present invention relates to an infrared sensing wafer, and more particularly to an infrared sensing wafer that is activated by a pyroelectric principle and integrated with an integrated circuit into a single wafer.

自紅外線被發現以來,經過多年的研究發展已經能將紅外線漸漸應用在各個領域中,例如,利用紅外線感測器來偵測物體的熱輻射,藉此不僅無須接觸物體即可監控物體溫度變化,進一步更能在黑暗中辨識物體位置與動態。Since the discovery of infrared rays, after years of research and development, infrared rays have been gradually applied to various fields. For example, infrared sensors are used to detect the heat radiation of an object, thereby monitoring the temperature change of the object without touching the object. Further, it is better to recognize the position and dynamics of objects in the dark.

紅外線感測器主要可分為量子型及熱型兩種,量子型感測器的感測原理是藉由吸收紅外線的能量使感測材料(如硫化鎘、硫化鉛構成的光電二極體)內產生自由載子,以偵測能量強度,而量子型感測器有較高的靈敏度及快速的反應時間這兩項主要優點,缺點則是需要低溫致冷系統來降低感測系統的操作溫度,以降低環境背景溫度的干擾。The infrared sensor can be mainly divided into two types: quantum type and hot type. The sensing principle of the quantum type sensor is to absorb the infrared energy to make the sensing material (such as the photodiode composed of cadmium sulfide and lead sulfide). Free carriers are generated to detect energy intensity, while quantum sensors have two main advantages: high sensitivity and fast response time. The disadvantage is that low temperature refrigeration system is needed to reduce the operating temperature of the sensing system. To reduce the interference of the ambient background temperature.

熱型感測器當其吸收紅外線的能量時,能使得感測元件的溫度產生變化,改變材質本身的物理特性,如電阻,也就是一般所說的焦電原理。熱型感測器的靈敏度及反應時間都沒有量子型感測器來得好,但熱型感測器可 操作在室溫下且不需要冷卻系統的輔助,此外熱型感測器吸收光譜範圍較廣且平坦,因此適合省電、可攜式的應用。When the heat sensor absorbs the energy of infrared rays, it can change the temperature of the sensing element and change the physical properties of the material itself, such as resistance, which is also called the principle of pyroelectricity. The sensitivity and response time of the thermal sensor are not as good as the quantum sensor, but the thermal sensor can The operation is at room temperature and does not require the assistance of a cooling system. In addition, the thermal sensor has a wide absorption spectrum and is flat, making it suitable for power-saving and portable applications.

一般來說,為了提高熱型感測器的靈敏度,是選擇具有高電阻溫度係數(Temperature Coefficient of Resistance;TCR)的材料來做為感測元件,常見的高電阻溫度係數的材料有碲化汞鎘(HgCdTe)或氧化釩(V2 O5 ),但這些材料的物料成本高,且製程通常也都無法整合於積體電路製程而必須將遠紅外線的感測元件與轉換電訊號的電晶體晶片分開製作後,再利用鍵合(Bonding)將感測元件與電晶體電連接;此種方式除了整體感測器的體積不易縮減外,鍵合技術也是導致良率不穩的問題點之一。In general, in order to improve the sensitivity of the thermal sensor, a material having a high temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) is selected as the sensing element, and a common high temperature coefficient of resistance material is mercury halide. Cadmium (HgCdTe) or vanadium oxide (V 2 O 5 ), but the material cost of these materials is high, and the process is usually not integrated into the integrated circuit process. The far-infrared sensing element and the transistor that converts the electrical signal must be converted. After the wafer is separately fabricated, the sensing element is electrically connected to the transistor by bonding. In addition to the fact that the volume of the overall sensor is not easily reduced, the bonding technique is also one of the problems leading to the instability of the yield. .

近年來隨著製程與微機電技術的進步,使得紅外線感測元件與電路讀取元件可以整合於單一晶片的製程中。如圖1所示,台灣專利申請號098132569(下稱”256案)所揭露的一種紅外線感測器,在一矽基板1a上利用一積體電路製程形成電晶體區域A2與具有一紅外線檢測元件13的紅外線感測區域A1,該紅外線檢測元件13包括有一用以吸收紅外線的吸收單元131、一位在該吸收單元131上用以感測紅外線並具有焦電特性的感溫體132,及一在該感溫體132上的補償膜結構133;另外,該矽基板1a還包括一對應該感溫體132位置而形成的空洞11,該吸收單元131是由矽氧化膜與矽氮化膜構成,而該感溫體132是以聚矽膜(polysilicon)構成,因此由使用材料來看,”256案的確可 以令紅外線感測元件與電晶體元件的製程相整合,但必須配合其他設計,如增加紅外線吸收的吸收單元131與提升絕熱效果、避免該感溫體132的熱太快散失導致訊號減弱的空洞11等結構來加強感測度,且”256案的一大技術特點在於利用該由聚矽膜構成的補償膜結構133保護該吸收單元131與該感溫體132,並抑制該吸收單元131與該感溫體132的膜層翹曲以改善結構穩定性、提高感測效率。In recent years, with the advancement of process and microelectromechanical technology, infrared sensing components and circuit reading components can be integrated into a single wafer process. As shown in FIG. 1, an infrared sensor disclosed in Taiwan Patent Application No. 098132569 (hereinafter referred to as "the 256 case") uses an integrated circuit process to form a transistor region A2 on a substrate 1a and has an infrared detecting element. Infrared sensing area A1 of 13, the infrared detecting element 13 includes an absorption unit 131 for absorbing infrared rays, a temperature sensing body 132 for sensing infrared rays and having pyroelectric characteristics on the absorption unit 131, and a The compensation film structure 133 on the temperature sensing body 132; further, the germanium substrate 1a further includes a pair of voids 11 formed by the position of the temperature sensing body 132, and the absorption unit 131 is composed of a tantalum oxide film and a tantalum nitride film. And the temperature sensing body 132 is made of polysilicon, so from the use of materials, "256 cases can indeed In order to integrate the infrared sensing element with the process of the transistor element, it must be combined with other designs, such as the absorption unit 131 that increases infrared absorption and the effect of improving the heat insulation, and avoiding the heat of the temperature sensing body 132 being dissipated too quickly, resulting in a weakened signal hole. 11 and other structures to enhance the sensitivity, and a large technical feature of the "256 case is that the absorption unit 131 and the temperature sensing body 132 are protected by the compensation film structure 133 composed of a polysilicon film, and the absorption unit 131 is suppressed. The film layer of the temperature sensing body 132 is warped to improve structural stability and improve sensing efficiency.

雖然此”256案教導了元件整合的可能性,但如何基於製程整合的前提,進一步地改善感測器整體結構、降低成本以符合市場需求、提高市場競爭力,即是申請人亟欲開發研究的方向之一。Although this "256 case teaches the possibility of component integration, how to further improve the overall structure of the sensor and reduce the cost to meet market demand and improve market competitiveness based on the premise of process integration, is the applicant's desire to develop research. One of the directions.

在本發明被詳細描述之前,應當注意在以下的說明內容中,類似的元件是以相同的編號來表示。Before the present invention is described in detail, it should be noted that in the following description, similar elements are denoted by the same reference numerals.

參閱圖2與圖3,本發明紅外線感測晶片之第一較佳實施例,適用於偵測波長範圍在770nm至1μm的紅外線,包含一晶圓基底2、一位於該晶圓基底2上的圖案化多晶矽層3、及一位於該圖案化多晶矽層3上的內連線單元4,且本發明紅外線感測晶片利用結構可特別針對波長為λ的紅外線進行感測。Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, a first preferred embodiment of the infrared sensing chip of the present invention is suitable for detecting infrared rays having a wavelength range of 770 nm to 1 μm, and includes a wafer substrate 2 and a wafer substrate 2 thereon. The patterned polysilicon layer 3 and an interconnect unit 4 on the patterned polysilicon layer 3, and the infrared sensing wafer of the present invention can be sensed particularly for infrared rays having a wavelength of λ.

該晶圓基底2由半導體材料構成,包括一頂面21,及一相反於該頂面21的底面22,而該圖案化多晶矽層3則是形成於該晶圓基底2的頂面21。The wafer substrate 2 is made of a semiconductor material, and includes a top surface 21 and a bottom surface 22 opposite to the top surface 21, and the patterned polysilicon layer 3 is formed on the top surface 21 of the wafer substrate 2.

該圖案化多晶矽層3是由多晶矽(Poly-silicon)構成,包括一紅外線吸收區31及一電晶體結構區32,該電晶體結構區32與該晶圓基底2相配合形成有多個可轉換電訊號而用以讀取該紅外線吸收區31產生的電阻變化的電晶體單元321,因此在本第一較佳實施例中僅繪示兩個電晶體單元321,但可以輕易了解的是,在積體電路製程中可依需求,如周邊電路、電容器等等製作出所需要的電晶體數量與形式,此部分為本技術領域通常知識者所周知,故不在此多加贅述。The patterned polysilicon layer 3 is composed of poly-silicon, and includes an infrared absorbing region 31 and a transistor structure region 32. The transistor structure region 32 cooperates with the wafer substrate 2 to form a plurality of convertible layers. The transistor unit 321 for reading the change in resistance generated by the infrared absorbing region 31, so that only two transistor units 321 are shown in the first preferred embodiment, but it can be easily understood that In the integrated circuit process, the number and form of the required transistors can be produced according to requirements, such as peripheral circuits, capacitors, etc., which are well known to those skilled in the art, and therefore will not be further described herein.

該紅外線吸收區31包括一主體部311及兩連接該主體部311並分隔設置的電接腳端部312,該主體部311吸收入射的紅外線後產生一電阻變化,而藉由該等電接腳端部312與相對應的電晶體單元321電連接令該電阻變化透過該等電晶體單元321轉換為一電訊號輸出。特別說明的是,該紅外線吸收區31與該電晶體結構區32一樣是由多晶矽材料以相同的積體電路製程構成,且多晶矽在吸收紅外線後因為溫度上升,使得材料電阻產生變化,也就是利用焦電原理來感測環境中的紅外線;值得一提的是,本發明利用積體電路製程中既有的步驟、原物料來製作出一般因為材料製程限制而必須分開製造的紅外線感測膜層(如先前技術所提的碲化汞鎘或氧化釩),雖然,多晶矽的電阻溫度係數(Temperature Coefficient of Resistance;TCR)與碲化汞鎘或氧化釩相比並不高,但配合本發明另一結構(空腔410)的設計加以改善便能使得本發明紅外線感測晶片 的靈敏度有所提升,此部分結構將於後段詳述。The infrared absorbing region 31 includes a main body portion 311 and two electric pin end portions 312 connected to the main body portion 311, and the main body portion 311 absorbs incident infrared rays to generate a resistance change, and the electric pins are formed by the electric pins. The end portion 312 is electrically connected to the corresponding transistor unit 321 to convert the resistance change through the transistor unit 321 into an electrical signal output. In particular, the infrared absorption region 31 is formed by the same integrated circuit process as the polycrystalline germanium material, and the polysilicon is changed in temperature due to temperature rise after absorption of infrared rays, that is, utilization is utilized. The pyroelectric principle is used to sense infrared rays in the environment; it is worth mentioning that the present invention utilizes the existing steps and raw materials in the integrated circuit process to produce an infrared sensing film layer that must be separately manufactured due to material process limitations. (as described in the prior art, cadmium telluride or vanadium oxide), although the temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) of polycrystalline germanium is not high compared with cadmium telluride or vanadium oxide, but with the present invention The design of a structure (cavity 410) can be improved to make the infrared sensing wafer of the present invention The sensitivity has been improved, and this part of the structure will be detailed later.

該內連線單元4位於該晶圓基底2與該圖案化多晶矽層3上,包括多層成預定電連接配置圖案的金屬層41與一供紅外線入射至該紅外線吸收區31的開口40,該開口40是對應形成於該紅外線吸收區31的主體部311的上方。此外,為說明之便,在本第一較佳實施例中以兩層金屬層41為例,並定義該等金屬層41最接近該晶圓基底2的金屬層41為第一層金屬層41a、遠離該晶圓基底2的金屬層41為第二層金屬層41b,更詳細地說,該內連線單元4除了該等金屬層41之外,還包括多層絕緣支撐的介電層42,及多個電連接不同金屬層41間的介層窗43,而該等介電層42、介層窗43的配置是積體電路製程既有的製作步驟,且非本發明之技術重點,故不在此詳加說明。The interconnecting unit 4 is disposed on the wafer substrate 2 and the patterned polysilicon layer 3, and includes a plurality of metal layers 41 in a predetermined electrical connection arrangement pattern and an opening 40 through which infrared rays are incident on the infrared absorption region 31. 40 corresponds to the upper portion of the main body portion 311 formed in the infrared absorption region 31. In addition, for the sake of illustration, in the first preferred embodiment, the two metal layers 41 are taken as an example, and the metal layer 41 closest to the wafer substrate 2 is defined as the first metal layer 41a. The metal layer 41 away from the wafer substrate 2 is a second metal layer 41b. In more detail, the interconnect unit 4 includes a plurality of dielectrically supported dielectric layers 42 in addition to the metal layers 41. And a plurality of vias 43 electrically connected between the different metal layers 41, and the arrangement of the dielectric layers 42 and the vias 43 is a manufacturing step of the integrated circuit process, and is not the technical focus of the present invention. Not to be explained in detail here.

特別的是,該第一層金屬層41g具有一位於該主體部311正上方的反射區塊411而與該主體部311配合界定出一空腔410,該空腔410與外界連通令紅外線能入射於該空腔410中,且該反射區塊411的一下表面至該紅外線吸收區31的主體部311之一頂面的距離H1為(2n+1)λ/4,且n為正整數或零,λ為紅外線的波長數值;也就是說,該空腔410的高度為所要吸收的紅外線四分之一波長的整數倍,使得入射至該空腔410的紅外線在該空腔410中形成共振效果、增加該主體部311的紅外線吸收效率、進而改善偵測的靈敏度;除此之外,由於該反射區塊411是由金屬(如,銅)所構成,因此具有良好的光反射效果使紅 外線在該空腔410進行多次的反射、共振而增強波峰值。In particular, the first metal layer 41g has a reflective block 411 directly above the main body portion 311 and cooperates with the main body portion 311 to define a cavity 410. The cavity 410 communicates with the outside world to allow infrared energy to enter. In the cavity 410, the distance H1 from the lower surface of the reflective block 411 to the top surface of one of the main body portions 311 of the infrared absorption region 31 is (2n+1)λ/4, and n is a positive integer or zero. λ is a wavelength value of infrared rays; that is, the height of the cavity 410 is an integral multiple of a quarter wavelength of infrared rays to be absorbed, so that infrared rays incident to the cavity 410 form a resonance effect in the cavity 410, Increasing the infrared absorption efficiency of the main body portion 311, thereby improving the sensitivity of detection; in addition, since the reflective block 411 is made of metal (eg, copper), it has a good light reflection effect to make red The outer line is reflected and resonated a plurality of times in the cavity 410 to enhance the peak value.

補充說明的還有,該第一層金屬層41a還包括一環繞於該反射區塊411周緣的輔助蝕刻孔道412,該輔助蝕刻孔道412用以供一化學蝕刻液通入對該內連線單元4的部分結構進行蝕刻以形成該空腔410,並令該空腔410藉此於外界連通,更仔細地說,該化學蝕刻液是由該輔助蝕刻孔道412進入,開始向下進行選擇性的蝕刻至該由多晶矽構成的紅外線吸收區31並控制蝕刻時間以形成該空腔410;以往雖然也有類似在紅外線感測層體的下方形成空洞的結構(如圖1中編號11的構造),但其空洞的效果在於隔熱,避免紅外線感測層體吸收紅外線後產生的溫度太快散失、導致感測靈敏度不足,而與本發明所強調之控制該空腔410的高度、令入射波形成共振、增強紅外線吸收的構造無關、也無法達到本發明所訴求之功效,在此特別說明以玆分辨。In addition, the first metal layer 41a further includes an auxiliary etching via 412 surrounding the periphery of the reflective block 411. The auxiliary etching via 412 is used for a chemical etching solution to pass into the interconnecting unit. A portion of the structure of 4 is etched to form the cavity 410, and the cavity 410 is thereby connected to the outside. More specifically, the chemical etchant is introduced by the auxiliary etched via 412 to begin selective downward. Etching to the infrared absorption region 31 composed of polycrystalline silicon and controlling the etching time to form the cavity 410; although a structure similar to the formation of a void below the infrared sensing layer body (such as the configuration of No. 11 in FIG. 1) is conventionally used, The effect of the void is heat insulation, avoiding the temperature generated by the infrared sensing layer body absorbing infrared rays to be too fast, resulting in insufficient sensing sensitivity, and controlling the height of the cavity 410 and resonating the incident wave with the emphasis of the present invention. The structure for enhancing infrared absorption is irrelevant, and the effect claimed by the present invention cannot be achieved, and it is specifically described herein.

參閱圖4,該紅外線吸收區31的主體部311除了如圖3所示成矩形平板狀外亦可成彎曲蛇狀(Serpent),而該等電接腳端部312則是形成於該蛇狀的主體部311的頭尾兩端;在此說明的是,該紅外線吸收區31的圖案是取決於設計的考量,但實施態樣當然不僅限制於本第一較佳實施例所揭示。Referring to FIG. 4, the main body portion 311 of the infrared absorption region 31 may be formed into a serpentine shape in addition to a rectangular flat shape as shown in FIG. 3, and the electric pin end portions 312 are formed in the serpentine shape. Both ends of the main body portion 311 are illustrated; it is explained that the pattern of the infrared absorption region 31 is determined by design considerations, but the embodiment is of course not limited to the first preferred embodiment.

再參閱圖2、3,當紅外線由該開口40入射,並到達該紅外線吸收區31的主體部311時,部分由該主體部311直接吸收、部分紅外線則再多次的反射後被吸收,部分 紅外線則在反射行進過程中散失,而波長λ的紅外線更可藉由該預定高度距離H1的空腔410產生共振以提高該紅外線吸收區31的主體部311的溫度變化、電阻變化量,進而提高整體感測的靈敏度。也就是說,雖然多晶矽的電阻溫度係數低於傳統常用的高電阻溫度係數的材料,如碲化汞鎘(HgCdTe)或氧化釩(V2 O5 ),但配合該空腔410高度的限制令入射紅外線達到共振效果,以及經由該內連線單元4的直接電連接而降低訊號傳遞損失的設計,而令本發明利用多晶矽構成的紅外線吸收區31在低材料成本、低製程成本的製作下仍可達到所需的感測靈敏度。Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, when infrared rays are incident from the opening 40 and reach the main body portion 311 of the infrared absorption region 31, portions are directly absorbed by the main body portion 311, and part of the infrared rays are reflected and absorbed a plurality of times, and the portion is absorbed. The infrared ray is lost during the reflection travel, and the infrared ray of the wavelength λ is further resonated by the cavity 410 of the predetermined height distance H1 to increase the temperature change and the resistance change amount of the main body portion 311 of the infrared absorption region 31, thereby improving The sensitivity of the overall sensing. That is to say, although the temperature coefficient of resistance of polycrystalline germanium is lower than the conventional high temperature coefficient of resistance materials, such as cadmium telluride (HgCdTe) or vanadium oxide (V 2 O 5 ), the height of the cavity 410 is limited. The incident infrared ray reaches a resonance effect, and the design of the signal transmission loss is reduced by the direct electrical connection of the interconnect unit 4, so that the infrared absorbing region 31 composed of the polycrystalline silicon of the present invention is still produced at a low material cost and low process cost. The required sensing sensitivity can be achieved.

再次強調的是,由於本發明是利用一般積體電路閘極材料-多晶矽的製程同時來製備出該紅外線吸收區31,故不僅材料、機台設備與一般的積體電路製程相容,因此,以往必須分開製作的紅外線感測元件、電晶體元件可整合為系統單晶片來製作,使得整體紅外線感測晶片的體積可更薄型化、提高產品的市場優勢。It is emphasized again that since the present invention utilizes a process of a general integrated circuit gate material-polysilicon to simultaneously prepare the infrared absorption region 31, not only the material and the machine equipment are compatible with the general integrated circuit process, therefore, The infrared sensing element and the transistor element which have to be separately manufactured in the past can be integrated into a system single wafer, so that the overall infrared sensing wafer can be made thinner and the market advantage of the product can be improved.

參閱圖5,本發明紅外線感測晶片之第二較佳實施例,與該第一較佳實施例相似,其不同之處在於該晶圓基底2還包括一個位於該紅外線吸收區31的主體部311下方的第二共振腔20,且該紅外線吸收區31還具有一連通該第二共振腔20的第二輔助蝕刻孔道313。Referring to FIG. 5, a second preferred embodiment of the infrared sensing wafer of the present invention is similar to the first preferred embodiment except that the wafer substrate 2 further includes a body portion located in the infrared absorption region 31. The second resonant cavity 20 is located below the 311, and the infrared absorbing region 31 further has a second auxiliary etched via 313 that communicates with the second resonant cavity 20.

更詳細地說,該第二輔助蝕刻孔道313環繞於該主體部311的周緣且用以供另一化學蝕刻液通入對該晶圓基底2的部分結構進行蝕刻而形成該第二共振腔20,並 令該第二共振腔藉此於外界連通;而該晶圓基底2經過蝕刻後,該晶圓基底2會形成一由該頂面21向該底面22方向延伸的內環面23,及一連接該內環面23底緣的基面24,因此藉著該內環面23與該基面24即配合界定出該第二共振腔20,同時控制蝕刻時間令該主體部311底面至該基面24的距離H2為(2n+1)λ/4,且n正整數或零。In more detail, the second auxiliary etching via 313 surrounds the periphery of the main body portion 311 and is used for etching a portion of the structure of the wafer substrate 2 by another chemical etching liquid to form the second resonant cavity 20 , and The second resonant cavity is connected to the outside; and after the wafer substrate 2 is etched, the wafer substrate 2 forms an inner annular surface 23 extending from the top surface 21 toward the bottom surface 22, and a connection The base surface 24 of the bottom edge of the inner annular surface 23 is defined by the inner annular surface 23 and the base surface 24 to define the second resonant cavity 20, and the etching time is controlled to cause the bottom surface of the main body portion 311 to the base surface. The distance H2 of 24 is (2n+1) λ/4, and n is a positive integer or zero.

同時藉著該第二輔助蝕刻孔道313令入射的紅外線也有部分進入到該第二共振腔20中,且利用該高度為H2的第二共振腔20使在該第二共振腔20反射行進且波長為λ的紅外線產生共振,進一步改善該紅外線吸收區31的主體部311對於入射紅外線的吸收效果、提高感測靈敏度。At the same time, the second auxiliary etching hole 313 is also used to partially enter the infrared ray into the second resonant cavity 20, and the second resonant cavity 20 of the height H2 is used to reflect and travel at the second resonant cavity 20. Resonance is generated for the infrared ray of λ, and the absorption effect of the main body portion 311 of the infrared absorption region 31 on incident infrared rays is further improved, and the sensing sensitivity is improved.

參閱圖6,本發明紅外線感測晶片之第三較佳實施例,與該第一較佳實施例相似,不同之處在於本第三較佳實施例還包含一間隔形成於該圖案化多晶矽層3上的第二圖案化多晶矽層5,且該第二圖案化多晶矽層5包括一個位於該圖案化多晶矽層3的紅外線吸收區31上方的第二紅外線吸收區51,及至少一貫穿該第二紅外線吸收區51的穿孔52。這邊補充說明的是,該第二圖案化多晶矽層5是利用積體電路中的2P(2 poly)製程(一般是用於電容的IC設計)來進行,因此,整體製作仍是以積體電路製程為主、不需額外的材料設備,故仍可達到本發明紅外線感測元件與電路元件整合為系統單晶片的效果。Referring to FIG. 6, a third preferred embodiment of the infrared sensing wafer of the present invention is similar to the first preferred embodiment, except that the third preferred embodiment further includes a spacer formed on the patterned polysilicon layer. a second patterned polysilicon layer 5 on 3, and the second patterned polysilicon layer 5 includes a second infrared absorption region 51 above the infrared absorption region 31 of the patterned polysilicon layer 3, and at least one through the second The perforations 52 of the infrared absorption region 51. It is additionally noted that the second patterned polysilicon layer 5 is performed by a 2P (2 poly) process in an integrated circuit (generally an IC design for a capacitor), and therefore, the overall fabrication is still an integrated body. The circuit process is mainly, and no additional material equipment is needed, so the effect of integrating the infrared sensing element and the circuit component of the invention into a system single chip can still be achieved.

而該第二圖案化多晶矽層5的第二紅外線吸收 區51之上表面與該第一層金屬層41a的反射區塊411配合界定出一高度距離為H3的空腔410’,H3控制其值是(2n+1)λ/4,且n為正整數或零、λ是入射的紅外線波長,令入射於該空腔410’的紅外線在該空腔410’中形成共振而增強該第二紅外線吸收區51的紅外線吸收率;同時,該第二紅外線吸收區51具有兩分別位於兩側的電連接端511,該等電連接端511經過該內連線單元4的電連接能將該第二紅外線吸收區51因吸收紅外線產生的電阻變化傳遞至相對應的電晶體單元321,更詳細的說,本第三較佳實施例中是該第二紅外線吸收區51與該紅外線吸收層31是藉由該內連線單元4形成並聯的電連接以提高感測靈敏度。And the second infrared absorption of the second patterned polysilicon layer 5 The upper surface of the region 51 cooperates with the reflective block 411 of the first metal layer 41a to define a cavity 410' having a height distance H3, and H3 controls the value to be (2n+1) λ/4, and n is positive. An integer or zero, λ is the incident infrared wavelength, so that infrared rays incident on the cavity 410' resonate in the cavity 410' to enhance the infrared absorption rate of the second infrared absorption region 51; meanwhile, the second infrared The absorbing region 51 has two electrical connecting ends 511 respectively located on the two sides, and the electrical connection of the electrical connecting ends 511 through the interconnecting unit 4 can transmit the resistance change of the second infrared absorbing region 51 due to absorption of infrared rays to the phase Corresponding transistor unit 321 , in more detail, in the third preferred embodiment, the second infrared absorbing region 51 and the infrared absorbing layer 31 are electrically connected in parallel by the interconnect unit 4 to improve Sensing sensitivity.

較佳的,該第二紅外線吸收區51與該圖案化多晶矽層3的主體部311之間也利用該穿孔52進行蝕刻而形成一輔助共振腔53,該輔助共振腔53與該穿孔52相連通且令該第二紅外線吸收區51與該圖案化多晶矽層3的主體部311的間隔距離L亦為(2n+1)λ/4,且n為正整數或零,將可令入射至該輔助共振腔53的紅外線產生共振效果,同時加強該第二紅外線吸收區51與該主體部311對紅外線的吸收效果,進而增加整體裝置對紅外線的感測靈敏度。Preferably, the second infrared absorbing region 51 and the main body portion 311 of the patterned polysilicon layer 3 are also etched by the through holes 52 to form an auxiliary resonant cavity 53. The auxiliary resonant cavity 53 is connected to the through hole 52. And the distance L between the second infrared absorption region 51 and the main body portion 311 of the patterned polysilicon layer 3 is also (2n+1)λ/4, and n is a positive integer or zero, which can cause incident to the auxiliary. The infrared ray of the resonant cavity 53 generates a resonance effect, and at the same time, the absorption effect of the second infrared ray absorbing region 51 and the main body portion 311 on infrared rays is enhanced, thereby increasing the sensing sensitivity of the entire device to infrared rays.

綜上所述,本發明紅外線感測晶片以焦電效應的作動原理為基礎、並與電晶體單元321整合成單晶片為前提,通過選擇於一般矽晶片的積體電路製程的多晶矽做為紅外線吸收的材料,再配合該高度限制為(2n+1)λ/4,且n為正整數或零的空腔410、410’、第二共振腔20或輔助 共振腔53令入射至該空腔410、410’、第二共振腔20與輔助共振腔53中、波長為λ的紅外線可在反射行進過程中形成共振、使得該主體部311、該第二紅外線吸收區51對紅外線的吸收效果提升,進而改善了偵測靈敏度;同時,該藉由金屬層41的製作而形成的反射區塊411因為金屬材料對光波的高反射特性使得入射的紅外線大部分能反射射向該第二紅外線吸收區51,進一步提高對紅外線的吸收效率;因此本發明紅外線感測晶片不僅製程成本低,且可與電晶體整合為單晶片製程縮小體積、改善電傳導路徑的損耗使得感測靈敏度佳,故確實能達成本發明之目的。In summary, the infrared sensing wafer of the present invention is based on the principle of operation of the pyroelectric effect, and is integrated with the transistor unit 321 into a single wafer. The polycrystalline germanium selected by the integrated circuit process of the general germanium wafer is used as the infrared light. The absorbed material is further matched with the cavity 410, 410', the second resonant cavity 20 or the auxiliary whose height is limited to (2n+1)λ/4, and n is a positive integer or zero The resonant cavity 53 causes the infrared rays of the wavelength λ incident into the cavity 410, 410', the second resonant cavity 20 and the auxiliary resonant cavity 53 to resonate during the reflection traveling, so that the main body portion 311 and the second infrared ray The absorption effect of the absorption region 51 on the infrared ray is improved, thereby improving the detection sensitivity; at the same time, the reflection block 411 formed by the fabrication of the metal layer 41 can cause most of the incident infrared rays due to the high reflection property of the metal material to the light wave. The reflection is directed to the second infrared absorbing region 51 to further improve the absorption efficiency of the infrared ray; therefore, the infrared ray sensing wafer of the invention not only has a low process cost, but also can be integrated with the transistor to reduce the volume of the single wafer process and improve the loss of the electrical conduction path. The sensing sensitivity is good, and the object of the present invention can be achieved.
