Uncooled resonant infrared detector based on aluminum nitride piezoelectric film through charge generations and lattice absorptions
This Letter demonstrates an aluminum nitride (AlN) based uncooled resonant infrared (IR) detector utilizing the photo-sensitive and piezoelectric properties of polycrystalline AlN. The AlN Lamb wave mode resonator is found responsive to IR illuminations by showing a decrease in the S 21 magnitude in...

This Letter demonstrates an aluminum nitride (AlN) based uncooled resonant infrared (IR) detector utilizing the photo-sensitive and piezoelectric properties of polycrystalline AlN. The AlN Lamb wave mode resonator is found responsive to IR illuminations by showing a decrease in the S 21 magnitude instead of a resonant frequency shift. A −0.08 dB shift of S 21 magnitude was observed for an IR incident power of 647 nW, which translates to a responsivity of 124 kdB/W. Photoresponse is proposed for the IR sensing mechanism through additional charge carriers generation rather than thermal effects. |
