This research details the potential of a micro-hotplate photo sensor, based on a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) lateral PIN (P+/P-/N+) diode and a micro-heater, fabricated on a thin suspended membrane from a commercial 1.0 μm SOI complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology. A local annealing (30-minute micro-heating, at elevated temperature ~ 250 °C) is directly carried out onto the suspended diode to optimize device characteristics (e.g. leakage current, output optical response), for device long-term stability and industrial application. The optical performances of such SOI lateral PIN diodes with 4 different backside reflectors placed below them are fully investigated. Under same incident illumination, 4 specific output photocurrents and responsivities are therefore obtained due to the varied light absorption in the active Si film. By combining the photodiodes responses with the 4 backside reflectors (i.e. gold, aluminum, silicon substrate and black silicon), multiple-wavelength detection can be straightforwardly achieved within the 450-900 nm wavelength range, which makes the SOI photodiode highly promising in red-green-blue (RGB) sensing, gas analyzing or plasma monitoring applications.
