New Bias-Controlled Three-Color Detectors using Stacked a-SiC:H/a-Si:H Heterostructures
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 February 2011
Abstract
A novel family of three-terminal three-color (blue, green, red) detectors based on stacked a-SiC:H/a-Si:H heterostructures is presented: TCO/PIN/TCO/PINIP/TCO/metal and TCO/PINIP/TCO/PIN/TCO/metal structure. The analysis of stacked photodetectors and the optimization of their geometrical dimensions is performed using the adopted ASPIN simulation program. Both structures are mutually compared with regard to calculated current-voltage characteristics and spectral responsivity. They both exhibit linear photocurrent/generation-rate relationship for all three colors at peak wavelengths 430, 530, 630 nm, applying ±1 V or more. This linearity allows that all three colors can be detected with high rejection ratio using simple system electronics.
