We discovered and explained a new effect-"Two Peak Effect" (TPE) in the spectral responses of a p-n heterojunction infrared detector. That means there is two spectral peaks in only one p-n junction. This is a universal and important effect in semiconductor heterojunctions.In this paper, we further presented a new two color detector and its array on the basis of TPE, such as for HgCdTe, PbSnTe, etc. This new multicolor device structure has more advantages and applications than ordinary ones. 0-81 94-0908-1/92/$4.00 SPIE Vol. 1735 Infrared Detectors: State of the Art (1992)183 Downloaded From: http://proceedings.spiedigitallibrary.org/ on 06/22/2015 Terms of Use: http://spiedl.org/terms
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
