  • Gas detector with hyperdoped SiC semiconductor material and related methods
    Patent number: 10732118
    Abstract: A detector is for identifying chemicals in a sample. The detector may include a photodetector comprising SiC semiconductor material and configured to have an acceptor energy band of range Ea??Ea to Ea+?Ea. The SiC semiconductor material may be doped with a dopant to exceed a threshold dopant concentration level. The photodetector may be configured to receive fluorescence information from the sample.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 9, 2019
    Date of Patent: August 4, 2020
    Assignees: UNIVERSITY OF CENTRAL FLORIDA RESEARCH FOUNDATION, INC., THE U.S.A. AS REPRESENTED BY THE SECRETARY OF THE NAVY
    Inventors: Chandraika Sugrim, Ranganathan Kumar, Aravinda Kar, Robert Burkhart
