Improvement the efficiency of SnO2 n-Si detector by engraving method using a CNC machine

Abstract EN

Tin oxide was deposited by using vacuum thermal method on silicon wafer engraved by Computer Numerical Controlled (CNC) Machine.

The inscription was engraved by diamond-made brine.

Deep 0.05 mm in the form of concentric squares.

Electrical results in the dark were shown high value of forward current and the high value of the detection factor from 6.42 before engraving to 10.41 after engraving.

(I-V) characters in illumination with powers (50, 100, 150, 200, 250) mW / cm2 show Improved properties of the detector, Especially at power (150, 200, 250) mW/cm2.

Response improved in rise time from 2.4 μs to 0.72 μs and time of inactivity improved 515.2 μs to 44.2 μs.

Sensitivity angle increased at zone from 40o to 65o.
