Photodetector With Dark Current Reduction

View page
US Patent:
7820971, Oct 26, 2010
Filed:
Apr 30, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/113046
Inventors:
Silviu Velicu - Darien IL, US
Christoph Grein - Wheaton IL, US
Sir B. Rafol - South Pasadena CA, US
Sivalingam Sivananthan - Naperville IL, US
Assignee:
EPIR Technologies, Inc. - Bolingbrook IL
International Classification:
H01L 31/11
US Classification:
2503384
Abstract:
A detector of incident infrared radiation has a first region with a first spectral response, and a second region with a second, different spectral response. The second absorption region is stacked on the first and may be separated therefrom by a region in which the chemical composition of the compound semiconductor is graded. Separate contacts are provided to the first and second absorption regions and a further common contact is provided so as to permit the application of either a bias voltage or a skimming voltage across the respective pn junctions. The detector may be operated such that a preselected one of the absorption regions responds to incident infrared radiation of a predetermined waveband while the other absorption region acts as a skimmer of dark current, thereby enhancing the signal to noise ratio of the detector.
