Infrared-Bandgap Type II Antimonide Superlattices for Infrared Photodetectors and Focal Plane Array

Due: May 1, 2025

$99,200

Description

This program seeks to develop advanced antimonide-based infrared alloys and superlattices for use in infrared imaging systems with mid, long, and very long-wavelength cutoffs. Challenges include optimizing device bandstructure to achieve high quantum efficiency and low dark current, developing device architecture and fabrication techniques to minimize surface leakage, and improving material growth and process control for lowering cost and enhancing manufacturability. Research opportunities include design and simulation of infrare...

Grantor Contact InformationEdward H. Aifer, Phone: 202.404.4548Grantor Emailedward.h.aifer.civ@us.navy.milOther Grantor InformationThe NRC Research Associateship Programs (RAP) are prestigious postdoctoral and senior research awards designed to provide promising scientists and engineers with high-quality research opportunities at federal laboratories and affiliated institutions. Conducted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Fellowships Office since 1954, these programs offer a comprehensive research experience through a rigorous selection process. The programs aim to: 1) Offer promising postdoctoral and senior scientists/engineers the chance to pursue self-directed research aligned with sponsoring laboratories' goals, 2) Enhance comprehensive research efforts of participating laboratories, 3) Provide recent doctoral graduates a platform for focused research collaboration with permanent laboratory staff, and 4) Foster professional growth by providing opportunities to gain skills, experience, and connections with leading scientists, ultimately enhancing career prospects in academia, industry, or government research roles. The programs provide mentorship, access to state-of-the-art facilities, and opportunities to influence government policy.
