Abstract

In industrial applications based on extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) radiation, a periodic cleaning of the surface of the used EUV photodetectors is required to prevent the build up of carbon contaminating layers [1][2][3]. Such applications can be found in synchrotron measurements, space payload equipment, next-generation EUV lithography [4]. One way to do this is to use aggressive gasses, such as hydrogen radicals (H*). In this paper, we report excellent robustness to detrimental working conditions of a Si-based boron-doped ultra shallow junction photodiode (B-layer diode) fabricated by a pure boron chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technology. A series of surface cleaning tests with filament-enhanced H* confirm that the performance of the B-layer diode is stable with only a minor change of the electrical characteristics.
