Zusammenfassung:Using 1150 nm infrared light, the change in the detector sensitivity was studied. As a simple measure of the states of the detector sensitivity, the time derivative of the photocurrent is proposed. In terms of the derivative, the change is uniquely classified into two categories. Even after the detector is aged, the derivative does not remain constant with respect to time and voltage. The physical mechanisms which cause the change are discussed based on possible effects due to unstable surface states and the accumulation of an oxide layer.
