Center for Research on Infrared Detectors (CENTROID)
Abstract
The proposed objectives of the five year MURI contract for the Microphysics Laboratories (MPL) were as follows: (1) detailed investigation of the origin and control of various defects in mercury cadmium telluride heteroepitaxial structures grown on cadmium zinc telluride substrates by molecular beam epitaxy; (2) identification and control over lifetime-limiting defects to achieve material homogeneity over large areas; (3) establishment of a reproducible method to grow high quality multi-layer device structures suitable for SWIR/MWIR two-color detector arrays and fabrication of test detectors; and (4) transfer of a reproducible technology to industrial partners, HgCdTe layers with low defect density and long lifetime suitable for multi-color detector arrays. The results and achievements obtained during the past five years are discussed in detail in our final progress report under the headings of: (1) scientific progress and accomplishments, (2) interactions with ARO and other DoD personnel, (3) technology transfer/initiatives, and (4) student training.
