    • An array 1 of photodiodes 2 is comprised of a Group II-VI material, such as HgCdTe, which may be selectively doped to form a plurality of diode junctions. Array 1 is comprised of a plurality of photodiodes 2 which are disposed in a regular, two dimensional array. Incident IR radiation, which may be long wavelength, medium wavelength or short wavelength (LWIR, MWIR or SWIR) radiation, is incident upon a surface of the array 1. The array 1 comprises a radiation absorbing base layer 3 of Hg.sub.1-x Cd.sub.x Te semiconducting material, the value of x determining the responsivity of the array to either LWIR, MWIR or SWIR. Each of the photodiodes 2 is defined by a mesa structure, or cap layer 3; or the array 1 of photodiodes 2 may be a planar structure. Each of the photodiodes 2 is provided with an area of contact metallization 4 upon a top surface thereof, the metallization serving to electrically couple an underlying photodiode to a readout device. The upper surface of the array 1 is provided with, in accordance with the invention, a passivation layer 5 comprised of an epitaxial layer of Group II-VI material which forms a heterostructure with the underlying Group II-VI material and which has a wider bandgap than the underlying Hg(.sub.1-x)Cd.sub.x Te, thereby beneficially repelling both holes and electrons from the diode junctions.
    • 光电二极管2的阵列1由诸如HgCdTe的II-VI族材料组成,其可以被选择性地掺杂以形成多个二极管结。 阵列1由以规则的二维阵列布置的多个光电二极管2组成。 可能是长波长,中波长或短波长(LWIR,MWIR或SWIR)辐射的入射IR辐射入射到阵列1的表面。阵列1包括Hg1-xCdxTe半导体材料的辐射吸收基底层3 ,x的值确定阵列对LWIR,MWIR或SWIR的响应度。 每个光电二极管2由台面结构或盖层3限定; 或者光电二极管2的阵列1可以是平面结构。 每个光电二极管2在其顶表面上设置有接触金属化区域4,金属化用于将下面的光电二极管电耦合到读出装置。 根据本发明,阵列1的上表面设置有由II-VI族材料的外延层组成的钝化层5,其与下面的II-VI族材料形成异质结构,并且具有更宽的带隙 比底层的Hg(1-x)CdxTe,从而有益地排斥二极管结的空穴和电子。

    • A molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) growth method and apparatus is disclosed which achieves a significantly improved sticking coefficient for materials like Hg upon a substrate, and thus a higher efficiency. A highly ionized, low pressure plasma is formed consisting of a mixture of ions of one substance of a compound to be epitaxially grown, neutral particles of the substance and electrons, and also preferably both ionization and excitation radiation. The plasma is directed onto a substrate together with a flux of the other substance in the compound; the flux can be in the form of either a vapor, or a second plasma. Radiation assisted epitaxial growth for Hg compounds in which ionization and excitation radiation are formed from Hg vapor and used to assist epitaxial growth with neutral Hg particles is also described. The plasma is formed in a special discharge chamber having a hollow cathode with an emissive-mix-free cathode insert. The source is preferably a refractory metal such as rolled tantalum foil, which is substantially emissive-material-free and does not contaminate the plasma. Good results are obtained by allowing the plasma to simply diffuse out through an exit port in the discharge chamber, without special extraction assemblies required by prior ion thrusters. Hg sticking coefficients have been improved by a factor of 40 or more.
