Book Description
"Among the many materials investigated in the infrared (IR) field, narrow-gap semiconductors are the most important in IR photon detector family. Although the first widely used narrow-gap materials were lead salts (during the 1950s, IR detectors were built using single-element-cooled PbS and PbSe photoconductive detectors, primary for anti-missile seekers), this semiconductor family was not well distinguished. This situation seems to have resulted from two reasons: the preparation process of lead salt photoconductive polycrystalline detectors was not well understood and could only be reproduced with well-tried recipes; and the theory of narrow-gap semiconductor bandgap structure was not well known for correct interpretation of the measured transport and photoelectrical properties of these materials"--

Book Description
The wide variety of applications for mid- and far-infrared detection has spurred the study of cutting-edge technologies for use in the next genera- tion of detectors in place of the current systems, such as mercury cadmium telluride. While type-II superlattices over a number of advantages in design and material quality, theoretical predictions of their high performance have yet to be realized. This work concentrates on novel designs, fabrication, and characterization of type-II superlattice infrared detectors. In this work we present the first InAs/GaSb type-II superlattice photode- tectors grown on an InAs substrate via metal-organic chemical vapor depo- sition. The design and fabrication of the devices are detailed, along with several characterization processes, including low-temperature electron beam induced current (EBIC) to study structural defects. Through this work, the optical absorption of the undoped substrate was shown to be significantly lower than that of GaSb. The detectors have a cutoff wavelength (50% re- sponsivity) of 9.5 um at 78 K. Their R0A values are on the order of 10^-2 Ohm*cm2. The typical peak responsivity is 1.9 A/W, and the devices have a peak detectivity of 6.8 * 10^9 cm*Hz^1/2 /W at 78 K.

Book Description
Tremendous progress has been made in the last few years in the growth, doping and processing technologies of the wide bandgap semiconductors. As a result, this class of materials now holds significant promis for semiconductor electronics in a broad range of applications. The principal driver for the current revival of interest in III-V Nitrides is their potential use in high power, high temperature, high frequency and optical devices resistant to radiation damage. This book provides a wide number of optoelectronic applications of III-V nitrides and covers the entire process from growth to devices and applications making it essential reading for those working in the semiconductors or microelectronics. Broad review of optoelectronic applications of III-V nitrides
