Abstract
In this work a new Schottky barrier infrared detector (SBIRD) is presented. The barrier is formed by means of a layer of a-Si/sub 1-x/Ge/sub x/:H,F deposited by means of (plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition) PECVD on p-type silicon. The barrier height of the system was estimated from I-V, I-V-T and internal photoemission measurements, and showed a value of 0.2 eV at 77 K. When the SBIRD was operated at 77 K, it showed a cut-off wavelength of /spl sim/6 /spl mu/m. The responsivity and quantum efficiency as a function of the wavelength are compared with SBIRDs which use Pd/sub 2/Si and PtSi on p-type silicon to form the Schottky barrier.
