The detector structure consists of three contacts of NIPIN architecture for MW and LW detections, and hetero-junction NIP architecture for VLW detection. It is found that the spectral crosstalks can be significantly reduced by controlling the minority carriers transport via doping beryllium in the two active regions of NIPIN section. The crosstalk detection at MW, LW, and VLW signals are achieved by selecting the bias voltages on the device. At 77K, the cutoff wavelengths of the three-color detection are 5.3μm （at OmV）, 141μm （at 300mV） and 19μm （at -20mV） with the detectivities of 4.6xlO11 cm.Hzl/ZW-1, 2.3×10^10 cm.Hzl/2W-1, and 1.0×10^10cm.Hzl/2W-1 for MW, LW and VLW. The crosstalks of the MW channel, LW channel, and VLW channel are almost 0, 0.25, and 0.6, respectively.展开更多

The band of an n Bn detector is similar to that of a standard pin detector, but there is special wide bandgap Al As0.08 Sb0.92 barrier layer in the n Bn detector, in which the depletion region of n Bn detector exists. The n Bn design has many advantages, such as low dark current and high quantum efficiency, because the n Bn design can suppress the generation–recombination(GR)current that is the main composition of standard pin detector dark current. The constant slope of the Arrhenius plot of J0–1/T indicates the absence of the generation–recombination dark current. We fabricate an n Bn detector with a quantum efficiency(QE) maximum of ~ 60% under-0.2-V bias voltage. The In As Sb n Bn detectors may be a competitive candidate for midwavelength infrared detector.展开更多

Periodic gold disks are selectively patterned onto the top layer of suspended SiN/VO_2/SiN sandwich-structure.We employ the finite element method to model this structure in COMSOL Multiphysics including a proposed method of modulating the absorption peak. Simulation results show that the absorber has two absorption peaks at wavelengths λ =4.8 μm and λ = 9 μm with the absorption magnitudes more than 0.98 and 0.94 in MWIR and LWIR regions, respectively. In addition, the absorber achieves broad spectrum absorption in LWIR region, in the meanwhile, tunable dual-band absorption peaks can be achieved by variable heights of cavity as well as diameters and periodicity of disk. Thus, this designed absorber can be a good candidate for enhancing the performance of dual band uncooled infrared detector, furthermore, the manufacturing process of cavity can be easily simplified so that the reliability of such devices can be improved.展开更多

The solid substrate is completely removed, Using finite element analysis, the thermal and mechanical characterizations of the substrate-free FPA are presented. Because of the large decrease in thermal conductance, the supporting frame is temperature dependent, which brings out a unique feature： the lower the thermal conductance of the supporting frame is, the higher the energy conversion efficiency in the substrate-free FPA will be. The results from the finite element analyses are consistent with our measurements： two types of substrate-free FPAs with pixel sizes of 200×200 and 60×60 um^2 are implemented in the proposed infrared detector. The noise equivalent temperature difference （NETD） values are experimentally measured to be 520 and 300 mK respectively. Further refinements are considered in various aspects, and the substrate-free FPA with a pixel size of 30×30 um^2 has a potential of achieving an NETD value of 10 mK.展开更多

Such films have approximately 300 nm thicknesses with a remnant polarization of about 2.95 μ℃/cm^2 and a coercive field of about 21.5 kV/cm. The investigations of X-ray diffraction and atomic force microscopy show that the BST films annealed at 650 ℃ exhibit a tetragonal structure and that the films dominantly consist of large column or grains of about 89 nm in diameter. The curves of the temperature dependence of dielectric coefficient in different frequencies display the curie transition at the temperature around 23 ℃. The dielectric loss tangent of BST thin fdms at 100 kHz is less than 0.04. As a result, the BST thin films are more applicable for fabrication of infrared detector compared with the BST thin films reported previously.展开更多
