Abstract
(DE)
Es wird ein Strahlungsdetektor zur Detektion von Strahlung (8) gemäß einer vorgegebenen spektralen Empfindlichkeitsverteilung (9), die ein Maximum bei einer vorgegebenen Wellenlänge &lgr;o aufweist, umfassend einen Halbleiterkörper (1) mit einem der Detektorsignalerzeugung dienenden und zum Strahlungsempfang vorgesehenen aktiven Bereich (5) angegeben, wobei der aktive Bereich (5) gemäß einer Ausführungsform eine Mehrzahl von Funktionsschichten (4a, 4b, 4c, 4d) umfasst, die unterschiedliche Bandlücken und/oder Dicken aufweisen und derart ausgebildet sind, dass sie (4a, 4b, 4c, 4d) zumindest teilweise Strahlung in einem Wellenlängenbereich größer als &lgr;0 absorbieren. Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist dem aktiven Bereich eine Filterschichtstruktur (70) nachgeordnet, die zumindest eine Filterschicht (7, 7a, 7b, 7c) umfasst, wobei die Filterschichtstruktur die kurzwellige Seite (101) der Detektorempfindlichkeit (10) gemäß der vorgegebenen spektralen Empfindlichkeitsverteilung (9) durch Absorption von Wellenlängen kleiner als &lgr;o bestimmt. Weiterhin wird ein Strahlungsdetektor zur Detektion von Strahlung (8) gemäß der spektralen Empfindlichkeitsverteilung (9) des menschlichen Auges angegeben. Der Halbleiterkörper kann monolithisch integriert sein.
(EN)
A radiation detector is disclosed, for the detection of radiation (8), with a given spectral sensitivity distribution (9), which has a maximum at a given wavelength &lgr;o, comprising a semiconductor body (1) with an active region (5), provided for detector signal generation and for the incident radiation. In one embodiment, the active region (5) comprises a number of functional layers (4a, 4b, 4c, 4d), with differing band gaps and/or thicknesses and embodied such that said layers (4a, 4b, 4c, 4d) at least partly absorb radiation at a wavelength greater than &lgr;o. In a further embodiment, a filter layer structure (70) is arranged after the active region, comprising at least one filter layer (7, 7a, 7b, 7c). The filter layer structure determines the short wave side (101) of the detector sensitivity (10), according to the given spectral sensitivity distribution (9), by means of absorption of wavelengths less than &lgr;o. A radiation detector for the detection of radiation (8), according to the spectral sensitivity distribution (9) of the human eye is also disclosed. The semiconductor body can be monolithically integrated.

Détecteur de rayonnements pour la détection de rayonnements (8) selon une répartition de sensibilité spectrale prédéterminée (9) qui présente un maximum à une longueur d'onde prédéterminée $g(l)0. Ledit détecteur comporte un corps semi-conducteur (1) pourvu d'une zone active (5) servant à la production de signaux de détection et conçue pour recevoir des rayonnements, cette zone active (5) comportant, selon un mode de réalisation, une pluralité de couches fonctionnelles (4a, 4b, 4c, 4d) présentant des bandes interdites et / ou épaisseurs différentes et conçues de manière telle qu'elles (4a, 4b, 4c, 4d) absorbent au moins partiellement des rayonnements dans une plage de longueurs d'ondes supérieure à $g(l)0. Selon un autre mode de réalisation, une structure à couches filtres (70) est située en aval de la zone active. Ladite structure (70), qui comporte au moins une couche filtre (7, 7a, 7b, 7c), détermine le côté (101) des ondes courtes de la sensibilité (10) du détecteur selon la répartition de sensibilité spectrale prédéterminée (9) par absorption de longueurs d'ondes inférieures à $g(l)0. La présente invention concerne en outre un détecteur de rayonnements pour la détection de rayonnements (8) selon la répartition de sensibilité spectrale (9) de l'oeil humain. Le corps semi-conducteur peut être intégré de manière monolithique.
