Title:
COATED SPHERICAL SILICON NANOPARTICLE THIN FILM UV DETECTOR WITH UV RESPONSE AND METHOD OF MAKING
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004077526
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A UV detector (10) has a UV detection thin film of coated spherical silicon nanoparticles formed upon a substrate (12). The detector includes structures to bias the thin film. In preferred embodiments, a thin conductor (18) that is at least semi-transparent to UV radiation is formed over the thin film. In preferred embodiments, the UV detector is formed as a silicon based integration, upon a device quality silicon wafer (40).
