Infrared detectors are transducers of radiant energy that convert the radiation of objects in the infrared range to a measurable form. Large-scale adoption of IR detectors in the latest range of applications such as security, consumer electronics, and smart homes is driving the overall market. The use of IR detectors in temperature measurement and spectroscopy applications is expected to increase in future.
MCT or Mercury Cadmium Telluride is mainly manufactured by cooled technology due to the limitation of its performance; MCT operates under a specified temperature range. Some of the key features of MCT as compared to other IR detector materials are that:
- MCT is a direct band gap semiconductor
- The band gap of MCT can be adjusted by varying the ratio of the HgTe compound to CdTe in the particular MCT composition
For production of low-cost, large-area IR FPAs, large uniform and defect-free MCT wafers are needed. The basic material requirements for MCT IR detectors are are: large wafer size, small variations in composition, doping across a large wafer, and few defects across a large wafer.
Some of the manufacturers of this technology are Vigo (France), ULIS (France), and Hamamatsu Photonics (Japan).
The IR detector market from MCT is divided into two major applications that have been covered in the report. Major applications of MCT technology are temperature measurement and gas and fire detection. People and motion detection technology has not been considered as it does not use this technology for IR detection. IR detectors manufactured with MCT technology mainly operate in the short-wave infrared, mid-wave infrared, and long-wave infrared spectral range.
