Abstract: A conformal boron doping method for a three-dimensional structure includes the steps of: removing a natural oxide layer on a surface of a silicon-based three-dimensional substrate; forming a buffer layer on the surface of the silicon-based three-dimensional substrate; forming a boron oxide thin film on the alumina buffer layer; covering a passivation layer on a surface of the boron oxide thin film; and driving boron impurities containing boron oxide into the silicon-based three-dimensional substrate through the buffer layer by using laser or rapid annealing, to dope the silicon-based three-dimensional substrate. Selecting suitable boron source precursors and oxidants solves the problems of difficult nucleation and inability to form a film after reaching a certain thickness for boron oxide. By selecting alumina as the passivation layer, it is possible to protect the boron oxide thin film from being damaged, and thus achieve damage-free diffusion doping during laser or rapid annealing processes.

Abstract: A time-to-digital converter (TDC) uses voltage as a representation of time offset. A voltage change is induced over a time period from a start signal to a stop signal. The final voltage is then measured, and the voltage measurement is mapped to a time value representing the time between the start signal and the stop signal. The voltage change can be increasing or decreasing, e.g., by charging or discharging a capacitive circuit between the start signal and the stop signal. The voltage can be measured using an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) or other voltage measurement circuit. The voltage measurement can be mapped to the time value in any manner, such as, for example, using a transfer function or using a mapping table that provides a time value for each possible voltage measurement value.
