Development of High Performance Detector Technology for UV and Near IR Applications

Sensing and imaging for ultraviolet (UV) and nearinfrared (NIR) bands has many applications forNASA, defense, and commercial systems. Recentwork has involved developing UV avalanchephotodiode (UV-APD) arrays with high gain for highresolution imaging. Various GaN/AlGaN p-i-n (PIN)UV-APDs have been fabricated from epitaxialstructures grown by MOCVD on GaN substrates withavalanche gains higher than 5 x 10(exp 5), and significantlyhigher responsivities. Likewise, the SiGe materialsystem allows the demonstration of high-performancedetector array technology that covers the 0.5 to 1.7 mwavelength range for visible and NIR bands ofinterest. We have utilized SiGe fabrication technologyto develop Ge based PIN detector devices on 300 mmSi wafers. We will discuss the theoretical andexperimental results from electrical and opticalcharacterization of the detector devices with variousn+ region doping concentrations to demonstrate low dark currents below 1 uA at -1 V and high photocurrent. Recent results from these detectorarrays for UV and NIR detection will be presented.

Multi-band GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well infrared photodetector (QWIP) focal plane arrays

The GaAs/AlGaAs based Quantum Well Infrared Photodetectors (QWIPs) afford greater flexibility than the usual extrinsically doped semiconductor IR detectors because the wavelength of the peak response and cutoff can be continuously tailored over an wavelength between 6-20 mu m.
