在本論文中,我們探討具砷化銦鎵覆蓋層之量子點紅外線偵測器的操作機制及其在寬波段偵測和熱影像之應用。與標準的砷化銦/砷化鎵量子點紅外線偵測器相比,具砷化銦鎵覆蓋層之量子點紅外線偵測器有較長的偵測波長。此結果顯示具砷化銦鎵覆蓋層之量子點紅外線偵測器的主要轉換機制是來自於減少量子點激發態到砷化銦鎵量子井基態間的能量差。藉由降低砷化銦量子點的披覆層,更長的偵測波長被驗證出來。此結果是由於減小的量子點的尺寸,使得量子點激發態更靠近砷化銦鎵量子井基態所造成。隨著標準的及具砷化銦鎵覆蓋層的量子點紅外線偵測器元件特性表現,一個淺顯易懂的方法來達到寬波段的量子點紅外線偵測器是將此兩種結構堆疊在一起。此結果顯示元件有著高響應和寬偵測波段是分別來自於中波段之標準量子點及長波段之砷化銦鎵覆蓋層量子點的結構。在此,我們提出了一個簡易的想法。藉由具砷化銦鎵覆蓋層之量子點紅外線偵測器單一元件的表現,沒有了複雜的製程流程、精準的反射式光路和讀取電路晶片準備給焦平面陣列偵測器來擷取大圖象,熱影像可簡單地從單一元件取得。此結果在生物與醫學上極具發展性,且可藉由微小細胞的熱影像來診斷疾病的發生和變化。
In this thesis, we have investigated the fundamental property of the InGaAs–capped quantum dot infrared photodetectors (QDIPs) and their applications in broadband detection and thermal imaging. Compared with standard InAs/GaAs QDIPs, InGaAs–capped QDIPs have the detection wavelength which is shifted from 6 to 7.9 μm. The results suggest that the dominant transition mechanism in the InGaAs–capped QDIPs is from the QD excited state to the InGaAs QW ground state, which reduced energy difference between the two states. By decreasing the InAs QD coverage from 2.5 to 2.0 ML, an even longer detection wavelength 10.4 μm is observed. Due to the QD excited state is pushed closer to the QW ground state in the InGaAs capping layer. With the device performance of standard and InGaAs–capped QDIPs, a straightforward approach to achieve broadband QDIPs is to stack the two structures into one device. The device would exhibit a wide detection window ranging from 4 to 11 μm with high responsivities. The phenomenon is attributed to the high responsivities of the standard QD and the InGaAs–capped QD structures in the MWIR and LWIR ranges, respectively. We bring up a simple ideal that without the complicated fabrication process, precise focusing mirror lens and readout integrated circuit (ROIC) prepare for focal plane array to extract the large–format, the thermal imaging formation can be obtained easily by a single–device scanning. It is a promising step for diagnosing diseases from a tiny cell.
