Silicon photodetectors operating at near-infrared wavelengths with high-speed and high sensitivity are becoming critical for emerging applications, such as Light Detection and Rang…
Single Microhole per Pixel in CMOS Image Sensor with Enhanced Optical Sensitivity in Near-Infrared
E. Ponizovskaya Devine, Wayesh Qarony, Ahasan Ahamed +7
Silicon photodiode based CMOS sensors with backside-illumination for 300 to 1000 nm wavelength range were studied. We showed that a single hole in the photodiode increases the opti…
Quantum efficiency enhancement of mid infrared photodetectors with photon trapping micro-structures
Ekaterina Ponizovskaya Devine, Hilal Cansizoglu, Yang Gao +5
The study proposes to use the photon trapping micro-structures to enhance quantum efficiency of the mid infrared photodetectors. The nanostructure that is consist of micro holes re…
