A Measurement System for Si1-xGex/Si Multi-Quantum Wells Film

Article Preview

Abstract:

Si1-xGex/Si multi-quantum wells (MQWs) film is excellent bolometer materials, which issensitive to radiation in the 8-14 micrometer wavelength region. As an important property,temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) reflects the quality of infrared focal plane arrays.This paper designs a MQWs temperature and resistance data automatic measurement system basedon LABVIEW, and unifies data results, the characteristics of MQWs film was analyzed anddiscussed. The task is to examine the TCR for different material-compositions of MQWs.
