    摘要: A radiation detector comprising a radiation sensor obtained by arranging first electrodes on a semiconductor substrate configured to convert incident radiation into charges, an integrated circuit, and an interposer is provided. The interposer comprises first terminals arranged on a first surface facing the sensor and connected to the first electrodes, and second terminals arranged on a second surface facing the integrated circuit and connected to the integrated circuit. Each of the first terminals is connected to one second terminal. The number of the second terminals is smaller than the first terminals. The substrate comprises a third surface on which the first electrodes are arranged and a fourth surface on which second electrodes are arranged. The detector further comprises a selector configured to select the second electrode from the second electrodes to supply a potential for converting the incident radiation into charges.

    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: An image sensor: includes a pixel matrix in which pixels are disposed in a matrix, each pixel including a photoelectric conversion element and a switching element connected to the photoelectric conversion element; performs selection processing, on each pixel row of the pixel matrix, including selecting a pixel row and outputting a signal to the selected pixel row to make switching elements conductive; performs detection processing of detecting signals from the photoelectric conversion elements in the selected pixel row; and performs the selection processing based on received control signals, wherein the control signals include first control signals having a cycle shorter than a first period in which the selection processing and the detection processing are performed on all pixel rows, and wherein the cycle is equal to or shorter than a second period in which the selection processing and the detection processing are performed on one pixel row.
