| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Astronomical observations in the wavelength range of 30-60 microns (unexplored waveband) are an important window for astronomy, but have never been performed. The reason is that there is no IR detectors sensitive to the unexplored waveband. Therefore, the goal of this study is to develop high-sensitive IR detectors which cover the unexplored waveband by changing the detector structure and is to demonstrate the practical use of the detector. The detector has been successfully fabricated and was cooled down to 2 K to measure IR responsivity. As a result, the detector responsivity in the unexplored waveband shows one-order of magnitude higher than conventional IR detectors.
