Abstract: An electrical device includes an aluminum nitride passivation layer for a mercury cadmium telluride (Hg1-xCdxTe) (MCT) semiconductor layer of the device. The AlN passivation layer may be an un-textured amorphous-to-polycrystalline film that is deposited onto the surface of the MCT in its as-grown state, or overlying the MCT after the MCT surface has been pre-treated or partially passivated, in this way fully passivating the MCT. The AlN passivation layer may have a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) that closely matches the CTE of the MCT layer, thereby reducing strain at an interface to the MCT. The AlN passivation layer may be formed with a neutral inherent (residual) stress, provide mechanical rigidity, and chemical resistance to protect the MCT.

Abstract: A method for detecting both gamma-ray events and neutron events with a common detector, where the detector includes a layer of semiconductor material adjacent one side of a glass plate and a Gd layer on an opposite side of the glass plate, between the glass plate and a layer of silicon PIN material to form an assembly that is bounded by electrodes, including a semiconductor anode on one side of the semiconductor layer, a cathode connected to the glass plate, and a Si PIN anode on a side of the Si PIN layer opposite the semiconductor anode. The method includes the steps of: (1) monitoring the electrical signal at each of the semiconductor anode and the Si PIN anode, and (2) comparing signals from the semiconductor anode and the SI PIN anode to differentiate between gamma-ray events and neutron events based on predetermined criteria.

Abstract: In one aspect, a method includes forming an electrical path between p-type mercury cadmium telluride and a metal layer. The forming of the electrical path includes depositing a layer of polycrystalline p-type silicon directly on to the p-type mercury cadmium telluride and forming the metal layer on the layer of polycrystalline p-type silicon. In another aspect, an apparatus includes an electrical path. The electrical path includes a p-type mercury cadmium telluride layer, a polycrystalline p-type silicon layer in direct contact with the p-type mercury cadmium telluride layer, a metal silicide in direct contact with the polycrystalline p-type silicon layer, and an electrically conductive metal on the metal silicide. In operation, holes, indicative of electrical current on the electrical path, flow from the p-type mercury cadmium telluride layer to the electrically conductive metal.

Abstract: A sensing element of an infrared detector including a first absorber configured to form a first set of minority carriers upon receipt of an infrared flux, a collector, a first barrier disposed between the first absorber and the collector, a second absorber configured to form a second set of minority carriers upon receipt of the infrared flux, and a second barrier disposed between the second absorber and the collector. In response to a voltage being applied to the collector, the first and second set of minority carriers are collected at the collector.

Abstract: A method for detecting both gamma-ray events and neutron events with a common detector, where the detector includes a layer of semiconductor material bounded by electrodes, and the electrodes include an anode on one side of the semiconductor material and a cathode on the other side of the semiconductor material, includes the following steps: (a) monitoring the electrical signal at each of the anode and the cathode; and (b) comparing the magnitude of the signals at the anode and the cathode, and the transit time difference between the start of the anode signal and the time when the anode signal reaches a maximum, relatively constant value. In the comparing step, predetermined criteria are used to differentiate between gamma-ray events and neutron events.
