Abstract:
Results of studies of the molecular beam epitaxial growth of HgCdTe alloys on Si substrates as large as 100 mm in diameter are presented. Optimum conditions for obtaining HgCdTe/Si(310) heterostructures of the device quality for the spectral range of 3–5 $\mu$m are determined. The results of measurements and discussion of photoelectric parameters of an infrared photodetector of a format of 320 $\times$ 256 elements with a step of 30 $\mu$m based on a hybrid assembly of a matrix photosensitive cell with a Si multiplexer are presented. A high stability of photodetector parameters to thermocycling from room temperature to liquid-nitrogen temperature is shown.
