回熔过程对HgCdTe长波红外光伏探测器的I-V性能的影响

对三种不同工艺的HgCdTe长波器件(标准工艺、回熔处理、离子注入后退火)的I-V性能分别进行测试,并通过理论计算与实验数据拟合提取上述器件参数,分析暗电流机制及导致暗电流变化的原因。文章中使用的暗电流机制的模型由扩散电流、产生-复合电流、缺陷辅助隧道电流和直接隧道电流组成。从拟合得到的器件参数中可以发现回熔过程中产生了大量的缺陷,导致缺陷辅助隧道电流、产生复合电流显著增加,器件反偏电阻减小,I-V性能变差。与离子注入后退火器件的性能变化相比,推测导致器件回熔后性能下降的原因是ZnS钝化层受热不稳定。

中波双色光伏型HgCdTe红外探测器模拟研究

基于二维数值模型,对光伏型中波(MW1/MW2)HgCdTe双色红外探测器作了模拟计算,器件采用n-p-p-p-n结构、同时工作模式.计算了双色器件光谱响应及量子效率,重点分析了两个波段间的信号串音问题,以及高组分势垒层的作用.模拟结果显示,MW1(中波1,波长较短)对MW2(中波2,波长较长)的串音是辐射透过MW1区在MW2区中吸收引起的,串音与光吸收比近似成正比,而载流子扩散效应可以忽略不计.高组分阻挡层对载流子扩散引起的串音有显著的抑制作用,如果没有势垒层,载流子扩散引起的串音十分明显,甚至成为串音的主导因素.对于60×60μm2探测单元MW1和MW2的结电容大约为1.75pF/pixel.     

Minority carrier lifetime and noise in abrupt molecular-beam epitaxy-grown HgCdTe heterostructures

The steady-state lifetime of photogenerated minority carriers has been investigated in heterostructure HgCdTe devices fabricated on molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE) grown material. A wider bandgap capping layer (Hg_(1−x)Cd_(x)Te, x = 0.44) was grown on a narrower bandgap absorbing layer (Hg_(1−x)Cd_(x)Te, x = 0.32, λ_co,80K = 4.57 μm) material in an uninterrupted MBE growth to create an abrupt heterointerface. Steady-state lifetime as a function of temperature over the range 80–300 K was extracted from photoconductive responsivity at an optical wavelength corresponding to the peak responsivity at that temperature. At 80 K, the photoconductors exhibit a specific detectivity of 4.5 × 10¹¹ cm Hz^−1/2W⁻¹ (chopping frequency of 1 kHz). For each measurement temperature, the steady-state excess carrier lifetime determined experimentally was compared to the theoretical bulk lifetime for material with x = 0.32 and effective n-type doping density of 3.7 × 10¹⁴ cm⁻³. Theoretical calculations of the Auger-1 lifetime based on expressions developed by Pratt et al. were not able to account for the reduction in lifetime observed at temperatures above 180 K. Two approaches have been attempted to resolve this discrepancy: A semiempirical expression for Auger lifetime attributed to Meyer et al. was used to fit to the data, with the Auger coefficient γ as a fitting parameter. However, the resulting Auger coefficient found in this work is more than an order of magnitude higher than that reported previously. Alternatively, the reduction in effective lifetime above 180 K may be understood as a “loss” of carriers from the narrow bandgap absorbing layer that are promoted across the potential barrier in the conduction band into a low lifetime, wider bandgap capping layer. The reduction in lifetime as a function of inverse temperature for temperatures above 180 K may be fitted by a “cap lifetime” that has an activation energy equal to the change in bandgap across the heterostucture and scaled by a fitting constant.

Electrical properties of HgCdTe epilayers doped with silver using an AgNO3 solution

We employed AgNO₃ solutions for doping Ag in liquid phase epitaxy (LPE) grown Hg_0.78Cd_0.22Te epilayers and found that the minority carrier lifetimes became longer so that the diode properties improved. After annealing LPE grown Hg(1-x)Cd(x)Te layers (x=0.22) in Hg atmosphere, the epilayers were immersed in an AgNO₃ solution at room temperature. The typical carrier concentrations of holes was 3 × 10¹⁶ cm⁻³ at 77K. These values were almost the same as for the nondoped wafers. Also, its acceptor level was 3 to 4 meV. This shows that the Ag was activated. The doped crystals have lifetimes several times longer than those of the nondoped crystals. Numerical fitting showed the lifetime was limited mostly by the Auger 7 process. The Shockley-Read-Hall recombination process was not effective. To examine the Ag-doped wafer, we fabricated photodiodes using standard planar technology. The diodes have an average zero-bias resistance of several MΩ and a shunt resistance of about 1 GΩ for a 10 μm cutoff wavelength at 78K. These values are about four times higher than those of nondoped diodes. The photo current is also two times higher at the same pixel size. This shows that the quantum efficiency is increased. The extension of the lifetime contributes to the high resistance and the high quantum efficiency of the photodiode.

瞬态光响应法测试中波碲镉汞器件少子寿命的新方法

在测试中波碲镉汞光伏器件的瞬态响应时,当激光光斑照射器件表面位置距离光敏面较远时,器件表现为特殊的双峰脉冲响应现象,分析表明出现这种异常双脉冲现象的原因是光敏区内的少子漂移和光敏区外侧向收集的少子扩散有时间上的差异。通过对器件施加反向偏压,脉冲响应随反向偏压的增大由双峰变成单峰的实验结果,验证了少子侧向收集是导致器件形成双峰的主要原因。对第二个峰拟合得到p区的少数载流子寿命。将瞬态响应获得的少子寿命与该p型中波碲镉汞材料的理论计算和光电导衰退法得到的少子寿命相对比,发现三种方式得到的少子寿命随温度的变化趋势基本一致,这说明了可以通过瞬态光响应得到中波碲镉汞器件的少子寿命。
