Research abstract
This Phase I proposal seeks to demonstrate the feasibility of characterizing the depletion region of a VLWIR HgCdTe photodiode in plan-view and in nano-scale to detect and study the structural anomalies responsible for the current leakage and other operability issues. Our related preliminary work on a test photodiode has already identified crystalline defects and secondary phase precipitates within the depletion region and has detected strain fields at its passivation interface. In Phase II, we plan to develop and deploy the above and similar methodologies in a systematic and routine manner in a VLWIR HgCdTe IRFPA manufacturing environment for product reliability and yield enhancement.
