| Research Abstract |
We have developed germanium BIB detector for future mid- and far-infrared astronomical missions. In order to obtain clear interface between blocking and IR active layers, we have tested two new methods, surface activated bonding (SAB) and molecular beam epitaxial (MBE) crystal growth. We have fabricated a germanium BIB detector with SAB technique bonding a pure wafer (carrier concentration <8x10^12/cc) and a highly doped wafer (Ga 10^16/cc) and found that that device had a typical I-V characteristic for BIB detector, extended cut-off wavelength, and reduction of dark current. We have also achieved a high-purity germanium crystal growth on a high doped wafer with MBE technique that have a carrier concentration low enough for a blocking layer in BIB detector (5x10^14/cc).
