Abstract
AbstractThe internal electric field distributions of the CdZnTe (CZT) detectors under bias were characterized by optical polarized transmission at a 952 nm illumination utilizing the Pockels electro-optic effect. Two-dimensional (2D) images mapping the internal electrical field intensity changes were obtained to study the performance of CZT room-temperature radiation detectors. Planar and a P-I-N structured CZT detectors were investigated under different operating bias voltages. Analysis of optical profiles from a planar single crystal detector provides a quantitative nondestructive description of the electric field or voltage distributions inside a radiation detector. The P-I-N structured CZT detector showed a nearly uniform electric field in a width which varied with the operating bias voltage. An energyband model of a semiconductor junction with a depletion layer was employed to understand the results.
