With Laser-Doping, Silicon Responds to IR Light With Laser-Doping, Silicon Responds to IR Light
New IR imaging systems could be possible now that a new method demonstrated that silicon is more responsive to IR light when laser-doped with one of its most dangerous impurities: gold. The method supersaturates silicon, which normally lets most IR light pass right through it, with gold atoms, resulting in a net positive optoelectronic impact when IR light shines on the device. “It’s a big milestone; it shows you can do this,” said MIT graduate student Jonathan Mailoa. “This is especially attractive because we can show broadband infrared response in silicon at room temperature.”
