研究目的
Investigating the performance of Si-based GeSn mid-infrared photodetectors for imaging applications.
研究成果
High-performance GeSn photodetectors were demonstrated with Sn compositions up to 22.3%, extending the cut-off wavelength to 3.65 μm. The passivation technique effectively reduced the dark current and enhanced the responsivity and spectral D*. Mid-IR imaging was successfully demonstrated, showing comparable quality to commercial PbSe detectors.
研究不足
The study is limited by the technical constraints of the GeSn material growth and device fabrication processes, as well as the operational temperature range of the photodetectors.
