A Model of the Performance Characteristics of Silicon-Gallium Infrared Detectors for Low Background Applications
The Si:Ga system is modeled for detection of infrared (IR) radiation in low backgrounds. The responsivity and detectivity are calculated as functions of residual B, compensation ratio, and temperature. The results demonstrate a large potential for improvement in device performance if starting materi...

| Zusammenfassung: | The Si:Ga system is modeled for detection of infrared (IR) radiation in low backgrounds. The responsivity and detectivity are calculated as functions of residual B, compensation ratio, and temperature. The results demonstrate a large potential for improvement in device performance if starting material with a low residual B is used to manufacture the detectors. These improvements include higher responsivity, higher operating temperature, increased detectivity, greater uniformity in spatial response, and increased radiation hardness.
