Abstract
This paper is a presentation of the activity that has been performed in the domain of Blocked Impurity Band detector, from the operating principle to the characterization.
This study has been performed commonly with IMEC in Belgium, MPIA Heidelberg and Thales Alenia Space in Cannes.
The presentation deals with:

  • A brief description of the context and the organization of the study.
  • A description of the BIB detector operating principle.
  • A short presentation of the technological steps for the detector fabrication.
  • The main outcomes of the experimentation at diode level and at array level.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
