Abstract

The paper reports on the first experimental results of the mid-wave infrared (MWIR) HgCdTe barrier detectors operated at near-room temperatures and fabricated using metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). SIMS profiles let to compare projected and obtained structures and reveals interdiffusion processes between the layers. Undesirable iodine diffusion from cap to the barrier increase the valance band offset and is the key item in limiting the performance of HgCdTe nBn detector. However, MOCVD technology with a wide range of composition and donor/acceptor doping and without post grown annealing might be successfully adopted for barrier device architectures.
