Fully Depleted InP Nano-Layer for In-Device Passivation of InGaAs SWIR Detectors

We designed a p-n InGaAs/InP heterojunction photodiode with a novel passivation approach that employs a thin and fully depleted in-device (embedded in the p-n structure) p-InP layer. We comparatively characterized mesa-type detector pixels and experimentally observed expected passivating behavior. Characterization results under illumination indicated that fully depleted p-InP layer increases photo-current as well due to increasing device active area. Dark current analysis of detector pixels with different areas resulted in a suppression of surface dark current by nearly three times.

Optimization of Mesa Structured InGaAs Based Photodiode Arrays
Dolas, M. Halit; Çırçır, Kübra; Kocaman, Serdar (2017-04-13)
We design lattice matched InP/In0.53Ga0.47As mesa structured heterojunction p-n photodiodes with a novel passivation methodology based on a fully depleted thin p-InP layer. Mesa-structured detectors are targeted due to their competitive advantages for applications such as multicolor/hyperspectral imaging. Test detector pixels with different perimeter/area ratios are fabricated with and without etching thin InP passivation layer between pixels in order to comparatively examine passivating behavior.

A dielectrophoretic cell/particle separator fabricated by spiral channels and concentric gold electrodes
Yilmaz, G.; Çiftlik, A.T.; Külah, Haluk (2009-12-14)
This paper presents the design and implementation of a novel dielectrophoresis (DEP) system with spiral channels and concentric electrodes for high resolution cell separation applications. The device is fabricated with a 4 mask parylene process and the design is optimized in MATLAB Simulink reg to confine the operation. Tests with micro particles of different sizes are performed to show size-based separation by dielectrophoresis. Proposed device is also tested with K562 leukemia cell lines to prove that the...
Highly Sensitive and Tunable Fano-like Rod-Type Silicon Photonic Crystal Refractive Index Sensor
Kılıç, Selahattin Cem; Kocaman, Serdar (2021-01-01)
IEEEA highly sensitive and tunable 2D rod-type silicon photonic crystal cavity based biosensor configuration has been designed and numerically analyzed. The structure is optimized so that the light-matter interaction is maximized in the cavity region. Out-of-plane light confinement is achieved by sandwiching the rods between metal plates, and tuning is achieved by introducing an air-gap between on top of the rods and the metal plate. A single rod is positioned in the middle of the waveguide so that the cavi...
