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: Disclosed herein are a radiation detector and a method of making it. The radiation detector is configured to absorb radiation particles incident on a semiconductor single crystal of the radiation detector and to generate charge carriers. The semiconductor single crystal may be a CdZnTe single crystal or a CdTe single crystal. The method may comprise forming a recess into a substrate of semiconductor; forming a semiconductor single crystal in the recess; and forming a heavily doped semiconductor region in the substrate. The semiconductor single crystal has a different composition from the substrate. The heavily doped region is in electrical contact with the semiconductor single crystal and embedded in a portion of intrinsic semiconductor of the substrate.

摘要: A method for forming a semiconductor device includes forming an amorphous semiconductor layer adjacent to a lightly doped region of a semiconductor wafer. The lightly doped region forms at least part of a back side of the semiconductor wafer, and the lightly doped region has a first conductivity type. The method further includes incorporating dopants into the amorphous semiconductor layer during or after forming the amorphous semiconductor layer. The method further includes annealing the amorphous semiconductor layer to transform at least a part of the amorphous semiconductor layer into a substantially monocrystalline semiconductor layer and to form a highly doped region in the monocrystalline semiconductor layer at the back side of the semiconductor wafer. The highly doped region has the first conductivity type.
