Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) A HARP(High-gain Avalanche Rushing amorphous Photoconductor)film for use in a solid-state imager was studied. A thin HARP film must be developed because the available bias voltage of the film in a solid-state imager is restricted below 60 V, which is the endurance voltage of readout MOS transistors at present. We estimated that the suitable thickness of the film was 0.4μm. And by using the experimental tube, we confirmed an avalanche gain of four at a bias voltage of 60 V. No deterioration of the spectral response characteristics of an imager with the thin HARP film was observed, but it was found that the quantum efficiency was low at the green and red wavelengths. To increase the sensitivity of the thin 0.4-μm HARP film, we disigned a tellurium(Te)-doped HARP film by using the simulations of the quantum efficiency. These simulation showed that the sensitivity of the film could be more than doubled over conventional levels for green light.
