Abstract:This article intends to propose a self-consistent theoretical model for Metal-InsulatorSemiconductor (MIS) dualband Si/SiO 2 multi-quantum well (MQW) UV photodetector. Employing this model, general characteristics of MIS UV photodetectors such as dark and photocurrent density-voltage (J-V) curves are simulated. The results reveal that the proposed structure reduces dark current since first the resonant tunneling multi-barrier is designed such that the electron tunneling probability is unity at energies coincid… Show more
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.
