| Research Abstract |
Semiconducting silicides, such as s-FeSi_2 and Mg_2Si, are attractive materials for applications in near infrared (NIR) and infrared (IR) detectors because they have narrow band gap energy (<1eV) and high absorption coefficient. In addition, abundance of constituent elements and low-toxicity of those semiconducting silicides are considered as green semiconducting materials based on the strategy of substituting rare earths. In this paper, we report the development of NIR and IR detectors covered in the wavelength between 1.5-4um by using s-FeSi_2 and Mg_2M (M=Si, Ge, Sn) silicide semiconductors.
