Abstract

Design of an Infrared (IR) Optical Detector using the alloy Mercury Cadmium Telluride (HgCdTe) is presented. The proposed structure mainly has three layers, two of them are IR absorbing layers with different cut-off wavelengths while the third layer is sandwiched between the two photosensitive layers to prevent the transfer of carriers across the layers and thus acting as an electrical barrier. The simulation results, depict current densities at different wavelengths, considering both cases of recombination and no-recombination indicate that this detector is suitable for photodetection in the infrared region in two transmission windows, namely mid-wave IR (2-5 μm) and long-wave IR (6-12 μm).
