Abstract

Think about any day in your life. How many of our possessions contain, at least, one microchip that are made of semiconductors? Semiconductors are the enablers of our modern society, being silicon the most important of them. There are many things that can be done with Si chips. Unfortunately, detecting infrared rays, at least at room temperature, is not one of them. In this chapter, we explore the current infrared sensing technology and their limitations. Then, we introduce the concept of supersaturated materials, and how it could be a potential solution for getting faster, cheaper, and more environmentally friendly infrared detectors, based on Si, and operating at room-temperature.
