the Superior gamma-detection and IR imaging via ALD-passivated germanium nanostructures (SUGER)

The SUGER is based on several innovative approaches that are implemented in photodiode manufacturing to reach record-high device performance in near-infrared and gamma-ray detection. The approaches mitigate electrical and optical losses and are fully CMOS compatible. The obtained results include external quantum efficiency >130 % in UV, surface recombination velocity <5 cm/s and absorbance >99 % in UV-NIR. In ATTRACT Phase 2, we plan to partner with experts from different parts of the detector value chain to scale up our technology to industrial system-level prototypes and even to commercial products.
