Analysis and Control of Carrier Transport in Unipolar Barrier Mid-IR Detectors
Abstract
University of University of Rochester Grant #: FA94531510332 “Analysis and Control of Carrier Transport in Unipolar Barrier Mid-IR Detectors” Abstract The proposed program is a fundamental examination of the physics and applications of carrier transport in semiconductor unipolar barriers structures, for example those used in infrared detectors. Investigations will include both modeling and experiment. Barrier structures will be grown by molecular beam epitaxy, fabricated into test devices, and characterized with measurements, such as I-V-T, time resolved photoluminescence, and quantum efficiency. Investigations will compare carrier transport by diffusion with that by field-assisted drift. The fundamental understanding gained from this program will lead to improved infrared sensing, of public benefit in a variety of fields including medical imaging, homeland security, and environmental mapping.
