A semiconductor device has a multilayer doping to provide improved passivation by quantum exclusion. The multilayer doping includes at least two doped layers fabricated using MBE methods. The dopant sheet densities in the doped layers need not be the same, but in principle can be selected to be the same sheet densities or to be different sheet densities. The electrically active dopant sheet densities are quite high, reaching more than 1×1014 cm−2, and locally exceeding 1022 per cubic centimeter. It has been found that silicon detector devices that have two or more such dopant layers exhibit improved resistance to degradation by UV radiation, at least at wavelengths of 193 nm, as compared to conventional silicon p-on-n devices.

摘要:
An improved cathodoluminescence light collection system for use in electron microscopes provides an optical fiber, the facet or aperture of which is positioned adjacent the sample. The cathodoluminescence light, collected by the optical fiber in this manner, may be used to provide spectrally resolved cathodoluminescence images of the sample as well as local cathodoluminescence spectra of the type available in prior art cathodoluminescence light collection systems, but without incurring the numerous disadvantages of such prior art light collection systems. The present invention is relatively inexpensive, far easier to maintain because it does not require use of a mirror and, it is more compact in size thereby making it compatible with the physical limitations of more electron microscopes.
