Abstract: Mechanical treatment (cutting, physical and chemical cleaning, polishing) of semiconductor
Si<B>-based material, introduction of Mn(Manganese) atoms through diffusion, formation of
nanoclusters of various sizes and thus light and obtaining a sensitive material that senses temperature.
Nanoclusters are materials in the transition from atomic properties to bulk material properties. Since it is
possible to create new properties by obtaining nanoclusters of different sizes, by alloying Mn(Manganese)
atoms to the Si<B>-based material at different temperatures, forming nanoclusters of different sizes, and
studying their electrophysical parameters, light and temperature sensors is created. This work aims to
calculate the infrared sensitivity of compensated silicon on IKS-21 and Hall effect measurement devices,
generate graphic images and analyze them. The Mn atom was exposed to the KDB-3 element by diffusion,
and a graph was created to determine its IR sensitivity at the nitrogen temperature of the IKS-21 device
[1-7]. To calculate the electrical and physical parameters of the compensated silicon, the results were
obtained in Hall effect measurement devices. The results of the experiments show that the number of
manganese atoms is influenced by the specific resistance and conductivity of the sample, and that the
properties of the infrared ray sensed alloy sample are p-type, ranging from 1.5–102 u.s.m. to 4–104
u.s.m. The sensitivity of the n-type sample was not observed regardless of any value of. The observation of
such phenomena in obtained samples depends on the selection of the first samples used for the formation
of the nano cluster [8].
Keywords: Light sensors, temperature sensors, nanoclusters, compensated silicon, ICS-21, Hall effect.

INTRODUCTION: Today, light and temperature sensors are widely used in the field of electronics. The
areas of their application are constantly expanding. There are problems such as increasing the sensitivity
of sensitive materials, increasing the efficiency of the extraction technology, and reducing the cost [9].
Due to their sensitivity to infrared rays, these materials are used in making various electronic devices.
Infrared photoreceptors can be effectively used in remote control devices, in medical temperature
measurement and disease detection tomographs, in night vision devices, in the study and control of the
content of solar energy, in the protection of various objects, and in the control of fire safety [10].

In modern electronics and optoelectronics, solving the problem of creating photoreceptors that sense and
record low-power infrared rays is one of the urgent issues. Such photoreceptors are widely used in various
fields of technology. Infrared photoreceptors can be effectively used in remote control devices, in medical
temperature measurement and disease detection tomographs, in night vision devices, in the study and
control of the content of solar energy, in the protection of various objects, and in the control of fire safety
[11-14]. Infrared photoreceptors based on many semi-conducting materials, which work due to the change
of photoresistance, cannot be widely used in various fields due to the limitations of their ability to detect
low-power infrared rays. Especially in the presence of integral light, there are few photoreceptors that can
detect infrared rays and their sensitivity is not good. In the presence of integrated daytime light,
photoreceptors capable of sensing additional low-power infrared light can be used to exploit the
photoconductivity effect observed in compensated silicon under the influence of infrared light.
The silicon material determined as a result of the experiment and compensated on the basis of scientific
conclusions is illuminated with an integrated light at a relatively low temperature (T=77÷200 K), bringing
it to a certain stable value of photoconductivity, and then additional infrared light if it is done,
photoconductivity quenching is observed in the range of hν=0,4†0,6 eV of incident photon energy. The
extinction of photoconductivity under the influence of photon energy was If/(Ir+hn)=104÷106. Such
sensitivity has not been observed in any photoreceptors based on currently available semiconductor
materials. The extinction of photoconductivity under the influence of photon energy was
104÷106. Such sensitivity has not been observed in any photoreceptors based on currently
available semiconductor materials [15-18].
The proposed infrared photoreceptor can work with an external electric field strength of E=10÷50 V/cm
in the range T=77†200 K. Sensing the energy of photons in photoreceptors is in the range of hν=0,4†0,8
eV, and in the presence of an integrated background from a relatively large value, the power of photon
energy is in the range of small values of I=10-9÷10-5 Vt/sm2∙s can sense infrared light. There are currently
no ultra-sensitive photoreceptors capable of detecting such small amounts of infrared light energy [19-21].
Due to the simplicity of the technology of creation of the proposed infrared photoconductors based on the
compensated silicon material, low energy requirements, the wide range of spectral sensitivity and the
ability to operate in a wide range of temperature values, modern electronics can be widely produced.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Obtaining light- and temperature-sensitive materials based on
compensated silicon by the diffusion method and studying their sensitivity to infrared rays.
1. Mechanical processing of semiconductor Si<B> based material (cutting, physical and chemical
cleaning, polishing);
2. Diffusion of Mn atoms into the KDB-3 element;
3. Calculation of electrophysical parameters of samples sensitive to light and temperature as a result of
diffusion;
4. To study the sensitivity of materials to infrared rays
The main issue in obtaining light and temperature sensitive materials is to increase their sensitivity to
infrared rays. The ability to perceive low-power infrared rays depends on the diffusion process. It depends
on the temperature range of 1030÷1050 ºC, the cooling rate of the capsule and the concentration of Mn
atoms. That is, it is important to keep the same temperature, the degree to which the air is absorbed by the
capsule, and the cooling rate of the capsule in exact values.
Methods of introducing dopant atoms into semiconductor materials:
The main way to control the physical properties of semiconductors, i.e., their conductivity,
photosensitivity and magnetic properties on a very large scale, is to introduce dopant atoms into such
materials in the required and precise concentration.
According to the current technology, the input atoms are introduced in 3 different ways. In the process of
crystal growth, by diffusion and ion implantation method.
One of the most basic methods of growing single crystals in a given direction is the Chochral method.
A silicon monocrystal grown by this method is shown in Figure 1 below. In this case, polycrystalline
silicon is a liquid semiconductor material in special quartz grains (T>1415 ºC), a thin single crystal (
zatravka) is dropped. After it (Zatravka) touches the liquid semiconductor, it starts to move up slowly
(1÷3) mm/min while rotating on its axis. As a result, the liquid body turns into a crystal in accordance
with the direction of the growth.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: A material based on the semiconductor Si<B> is selected and after
mechanical processing, pure metal manganese, whose mass is determined in relation to the volume of the
quartz ampoule, and the studied samples are placed in a quartz ampoule with air sucked inside it (the
pressure in the ampoule is 10-6 mm .wire above) is placed, the ampoule is placed in the SOUL-4
diffusion furnace at room temperature (T=300 K). The temperature of the previously studied diffusion
furnace, along with the temperature of the quartz ampoule placed inside it, is increased step by step at a
rate of 5 degrees/minute. After the samples reach the temperature T=550÷700 ºC, the samples are kept at
the same temperature for t=10÷20 minutes. The temperature of the diffusion furnace rises to the
temperature T=1030÷1050 ºC at a speed of 150÷200 ºC/min. At the same temperature, the samples are
kept for t=5÷10 minutes, then the quartz ampoule containing the samples is cooled by throwing them into
special oil at a speed of 200 ºC/second from the diffusion furnace (the safety oil used for rapid cooling of
heated objects is a high-quality raw material). Then the obtained new material was ground (polished) and
the oxide layer (SiO2) was removed. The sensitivity of the new material to light and temperature was
studied. After diffusing Mn atoms into the KDB-3 semiconductor material, the obtained sample was
found to be p-type. We examined the ability of the sample taken with the help of the IKS-21 device to
detect low-power infrared rays at nitrogen temperature, i.e. 90÷100 K.
From the graph above, we can conclude that at a temperature of 90 K, the "beginning of light absorption"
began to appear in the region of h0,4 eV ( 3 μm) in such samples. As the photon energy increases,
the photocurrent changes continuously and jumps and reaches its maximum value at h=0,73÷1,02 eV
(1,25 μm). At this time, the ratio of the light current to the dark current reaches 7-8 degrees, that is,
anomalous photosensitivity is observed in the =1,25 μm region of the spectrum.
well as the simplicity of the technology of creation, low energy consumption. The concentration of such
clusters of manganese atoms in silicon is N~1015 sm-3. To study the photoconductivity of the samples,
they were placed in a cryostat installed on the IKS-21 device, the cryostat has two polished silicon filters,
which serve as protection against background and private light. The power of the IR beam was changed
using a special filter device, these filters were calibrated using an IMO-2N type "Laser Beam Average
Power Meter". This picture shows its spectral sensitivity at different temperatures through IR rays with
light power P=10-6 W.
