Nice Ion/Ioff ratio was obtained by modifying stack of diode adopted in-situ boron-doped poly SiGe and thermal optimization with spike RTA. Basically, boron has high solubility and activation rate in SiGe matrix. In-situ boron-doped poly SiGe on P+ region is expected to contribute to P+ Rc improvement. In this study, we found the unusual phenomenon that thermal process after pillar patterning does not influence dopant diffusion due mainly to isotropic thermal behavior. It means that RTA process before pillar patterning will be more effective for doping profile and activation engineering. By applying spike RTA and in-situ boron-doped poly SiGe on diode, P+ Rc was not degraded despite of skipping additional P+ADD IMP and P+ ADD RTA process. As a result, Ion and Ioff of 393uA/cell on the 2.8V and 92pA/cell on the -3.5V at 75°C were achieved at height of diode down to 1000Å.","PeriodicalId":332857,"journal":{"name":"2015 45th European Solid State Device Research Conference (ESSDERC)","volume":"193 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122516699","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The PPD (schematized in Fig. 1a) consists in a buried photodiode, where the surface p+ implant, also referred to as pinning-implant, pins the surface at the substrate potential. This peculiar structure not only reduces the dark current (by isolating the PPD from the charges generated at the SiO2-Si interface), but also limits the maximum PPD potential, often referred to as pinning voltage [4], which corresponds to the full depletion condition. The presence of this “potential floor” enables true charge transfer from the PPD to the collection node (or to another buried channel), whereas in standard photodiodes only charge sharing between two capacitances is possible. The combination of these unique features has led in the last decade to the development of several PPD-based detectors for high speed applications, such as Time of Flight (ToF) applications [5]-[8], which require high speed readout of small packets of photo-charges. One of the main challenges involved in PPD-based high speed detectors is to reach the best temporal resolution by maximizing the charge transfer speed from the photo-generation site to the collection node. The transfer speed becomes even more critical for applications, such as space imaging applications, which require pixel pitches of several tens of μm (for example for optics-related constraints [9]). In the last decade much effort has been put into improving charge transfer speed by introducing a drift field in the PPD by modulating the PPD local potential [5], [7], [10]-[13]. However the existing solutions often involve design and/or geometrical constraints, can require the use of a custom technology, or might not be implementable for large pixel pitches (where only a small drift field can be induced, as the maximum potential variation which can be generated within the PPD is equal to the pinning voltage [14], which is often of the order of 1V, or lower, to ensure optimum charge transfer toward the floating diffusion (FD)).","PeriodicalId":332857,"journal":{"name":"2015 45th European Solid State Device Research Conference (ESSDERC)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131900607","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
