Improved Specific Detectivity to 10 7 for CMOS-MEMS Pyroelectric Detector Based on 12%-Doped Scandium Aluminum Nitride
2021
CMOS-MEMS pyroelectric detectors based on 12%-doped ScAlN are fabricated using 8-inch MEMS wafer technology and characterized. The ScAlN pyroelectric material is deposited at a low temperature of ~200oC. The results show D* as high as 4.3 x 107 (cm√Hz)/W and NEP as low as 1.26 x 10-9 W/√Hz. This is the first demonstration of a functional CMOS-MEMS pyroelectric detector using ScAlN as the pyroelectric sensing material. Compared to AlN that usually presents D* in the range of 105-106, Sc-doped AlN brings on the promise of better performing CMOS-MEMS pyroelectric detectors that could be miniaturized, integrated with CMOS circuits and provide wider applications.
