    摘要: An infrared photo-detector with multiple discrete regions of a first absorber material. These regions may have geometric shapes with sloped sidewalls. The detector also may include a second absorber region comprising a second absorber material that absorbs light of a shorter wavelength than the light absorbed by the multiple discrete absorber regions of the first absorber material. The geometric shapes may extend only through the first absorber material. Alternatively, the geometric shapes may extend partially into the second absorber region. The detector has a metal reflector coupled to the multiple discrete absorber regions. The detector also has a substrate containing the discrete absorber regions and the second absorber region. The substrate can further include geometric shaped features etched into the substrate, with those features formed on the side of the substrate opposite the side containing the discrete absorber regions and the second absorber region.

    摘要: A dual-band infrared detector structure based on Type-II superlattices (T2SL) has been developed and experimentally validated. The structure according to the principles of the present invention is designed for a single Indium bump architecture and utilizes a T2SL barrier design that omits the traditional p-n junction region. The barrier design comprises multiple periods where each period comprises multiple monolayers doped P type. By selecting the composition, number of monolayers per period and number of periods, a transition region is created in the conduction band between a first absorber layer and a second absorber layer that allows operation at low biases (

    摘要: A method of growing a p-type doped Group II-VI semiconductor film includes the steps of forming a lattice comprising a Group II material and a Group VI material and generating a first Group V flux by evaporating a solid Group V source material. The first Group V flux is then decomposed to generate a second Group V flux, which is, in turn, provided to the lattice to p-type dope the growing film. The Group V source material may by arsenic such that the second Group V flux may predominantly include dimeric arsenic decomposed from tetrameric arsenic to improve the incorporation of arsenic into the Group VI sublattice of the lattice.

    摘要: Bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) and single or double heterojunction bipolar transistors with low parasitics, and methods for making the same is presented. A transistor is fabricated such that the collector region underneath a base contact area is deactivated. This results in a drastic reduction of the base-collector parasitic capacitance, Cbc. An embodiment of the present invention provides a transistor architecture for which the base contact area can be decoupled from the collector and hence allows for dramatic reduction in the parasitics of transistors.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for depositing self-aligned base contacts where over-etching the emitter sidewall to undercut the emitter contact is not needed. A semiconductor structure has a T-shaped emitter contact that comprises a T-top and T-foot. The T-top acts as a mask for depositing the base contacts. In forming the T-top, its dimensions may be varied, thereby allowing the spacing between the base contacts and emitter to be adjusted.

    摘要: The present invention provides a two-terminal infrared detector capable of detecting a plurality of bands, such as three bands, over the visible and short-wave infrared bands. Detection of three colors enables one to construct composite imagery that provide significantly added contract in comparison to typical grayscale images. In some variations, the device includes multiple absorber and barrier layers that consist of distinct engineered semiconductor alloys which are closely lattice matched to InP.

    摘要: Electronically tunable and reconfigurable hyperspectral IR detectors and methods for making the same are presented. In one embodiment, a reconfigurable hyperspectral sensor (or detector) detects radiation from about 0.4 μm to about 2 μm and beyond. This sensor is configured to be compact, and lightweight and offers hyperspectral imaging capability while providing wavelength agility and tunability at the chip-level. That is, the sensor is used to rapidly image across diverse terrain to identify man-made objects and other anomalies in cluttered environments.
