Abstract :
We demonstrate a visible light blinded IR detector by using multi-layers of SiO2/TiO2 dielectric in a Si based MIS structure. High spectral discrimination among visible light range has achieved due to optical filtering by the SiO2/TiO2 multi-layers. Spectral measurements in reflection of SiO2/TiO2 multi-layers in terms of layer number and thickness and their I-V characteristics have been used to study the spectral response in photo-detection. Spectral responsivity peak at 850 nm with high discrimination in visible light had been achieved in a MIS photo-detector of 12 layers of SiO2/TiO2 dielectric and 100 A in thickness of each layer.
