BIB (blocked-impurity-band) detectors
The challenge at hand is thus to achieve the required sensitivity at the highest possible operating temperature. Within this activity extrinsic semiconductor BIB technology tailored to a DARWIN type mission shall be developed. More specifically, we investigate available or promising extrinsic semiconductor BIB detector technologies and study their performance as a function of operating temperature, select the most promising ones to operate at the highest possible temperature – up to 40 K – with the required sensitivity. Applicability to mission: DARWIN Technology Readiness Target: 2004-2006
