ABSTRACTMolecular beam epitaxy (MBE) offers benefits such as the capability for growth of compositionally-tailored heterostructures and in-situ doping of HgCdTe alloys. These capabilities were applied to the growth of long wave infrared unispectral focal plane arrays (FPA) with 480×4 elements. The detectivity (D*) map of the FPA demonstrated performance that was higher than the specification value, with no defective channels. Two-color detectors with the n-p-n architecture, for the simultaneous detection of two closely spaced bands in the midwave infrared spectrum were also grown by MBE. These devices exhibited sharp turn-off and turn-on in both bands. The quantum efficiency was greater than 70% and average R°A values exceeded 1×106 Ω-cm2 in both bands. These result demonstrate that high performance HgCdTe devices can be grown by MBE.

Abstractstructural, optical and electrical properties were evaluated. Significant progress has been made toward the growth of high performance HgCdTe devices by molecular beam epitaxy. Long wave infrared detectors operating at 9.9 μm at 78K exhibited a mean RoAo product of 1170 Ωcm2 at 0-fov. Very long wave infrared detectors operating at 14 μm at 78K exhibited a mean RoA product of 3.5 Ωcm2 at f/2 fov. These values represent the state-of-the- art for molecular beam epitaxially grown HgCdTe detectors.

Molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE) is potentially an extremely valuable tool for growing III-V compounds. The value of the technique results partly from the ease with which controlled layers of precisely determined composition can be grown, and partly from the ability that it provides for growing accurately doped layers.
