摘要:
Amorphous silicon/amorphous silicon germanium NI1PI2N position detectors are fabricated to suppress visible light and increase detection of infrared light. The material of I1 layer is amorphous silicon or amorphous silicon germanium used to absorb visible light, and material of I2 layer is amorphous silicon germanium or amorphous germanium used to absorb infrared light. A suppression of signal due to the absorption of the visible light and amplification of signals due to absorption of the infrared light can be obtained when the NI1P diode is forward biased and the P12N diode is reverse biased. The optical band gap of the I1 and I2 layers can be controlled by the Si/Ge atomic ratio. The suppression of visible light and enhanced detection of infrared light may be tuned by controlling thickness and optical band gaps of the I1 and I2 layers. The amorphous silicon and amorphous silicon germanium layers may be deposited by square-wave modulation at 13.56 MHz.
