A generalized electron transport model in photodetectors for high-speed imaging
نویسندگان
چکیده
Photoelectron transport in a photodetector in an ultra-high frame rate image sensor under the uniform illumination condition is investigated. The charge readout time in a multi-implant photodetector is estimated using a generalized model with both diffusion equation and continuity equations. The maximum effective diffusion length was assigned to each implanted region after taking into account the fringing field drift due to multiple implants. Assuming that the charge on each section is directly proportional to its area under uniform illumination, the total charge transport as a function of time is obtained by the superposition of charge contribution of all implanted regions. By increasing the number of implants in the photodetector it may be possible to collect more than 10 million frames s−1. The design effects are also investigated. The model showed excellent match with experimental results.

Revealing the working mechanism of polymer photodetectors with ultra-high external quantum efficiency.
We report polymer photodetectors (PPDs) with an evident photomultiplication (PM) phenomenon, based on a sandwich structure ITO/PEDOT:PSS/P3HT:PC71BM(100:1)/Al. A similar device structure has been reported in our previous work, showing great potential as a new type of high performance PPD. However, we found more interesting new phenomena from these PPDs. Solid evidence is provided to prove the e...

متن کاملPhysics of non-adiabatic transport and field-domain effect in quantum-well infrared photodetectors
A previous theory for studying the distribution of non-uniform fields in multiple-quantum-well photodetectors under an ac voltage is generalized by including non-adiabatic space-charge-field effects. Numerical calculations indicate that field-domain effects are only important at high temperatures or high voltages when both injection and sequentialtunneling currents are significant. On the other...
متن کاملTRANSPORT EQUATION WITH FUZZY DATA
In this paper, we use the generalized differentiability concept tostudy the fuzzy transport equation. We consider transport equationin the homogeneous and non-homogeneous cases with fuzzy initialcondition. We also present the solution when speed parameter is a fuzzynumber. Our method is based on the construction of the solutionsby employing Zadeh's extension principle.
