Characterization of Short-Wavelength-Selective a-Si:H MSM Photoconductors for Large-Area Digital-Imaging Applications
Photoconductor-type photodetectors are attractive as sensors due to their compatibility with thin-film-transistor (TFT) fabrication processes. Since they exhibit photogain, photoconductor detectors have better or comparable responsivity and quantum efficiency (QE) compared to p-i-n photodiodes. In this paper, the operation of metal-semiconductor-metal photoconductor-based photodetectors using aluminum electrodes and thin hydrogenated amorphous-silicon (a-Si) films is investigated. The experimental results of photocurrent measurements, as well as the responsivity and QE for different a-Si film thicknesses, bias voltages, and electrode gaps, are presented. Integration with TFT fabrication and its application in large-area digital imaging are discussed.
Two-dimensional amorphous silicon image sensor arrays
Abstract Large two-dimensional amorphous silicon image sensor arrays offer an advantage for high speed document scanning and medical X-ray imaging. We describe our page sized 200 spot per inch imager and the accompanying high speed readout electronics. The spatial resolution performance for white light and X-ray imaging is illustrated. We discuss how the important issues of noise and resolution depend on the properties of a-Si:H, and show how the material can be used to give improved performance of the imagers.
