High-performance mid-infrared quantum dot infrared photodetectors
Quantum dot infrared photodetectors (QDIPs) have emerged as attractive devices for sensing long wavelength radiation. Their principle of operation is based on intersublevel transitions in quantum dots (QDs). Three-dimensional quantum confinement offers the advantages of normal incidence operation, low dark currents and high-temperature operation. The performance characteristics of mid-infrared ...
متن کاملModeling of High Temperature GaN Quantum Dot Infrared Photodetectors
In this paper, we present calculations for different parameters of quantum dot infrared photodetectors. We considered a structure which includes quantum dots with large conduction-band-offset materials (GaN/AlGaN). Single band effective mass approximation has been applied in order to calculate the electronic structure. Throughout the modeling, we tried to consider the limiting factors which dec...
متن کاملInsight into performance of quantum dot infrared photodetectors
In the paper, an algorithm for theoretical evaluation of dark and illumination characteristics of quantum dot infrared photodetectors (QDIPs) is presented. The developed algorithm is based on a model previously published by Ryzhii and co-workers. In our considerations it is assumed that both thermionic emission and field-assisted tunnelling mechanisms determine the dark current of quantum dot d...
متن کاملQuantum-dot infrared photodetectors: a review
Quantum-dot infrared photodetectors (QDIPs) are positioned to become an important technology in the field of infrared (IR) detection, particularly for high-temperature, low-cost, high-yield detector arrays required for military applications. High-operating temperature (≥150 K) photodetectors reduce the cost of IR imaging systems by enabling cryogenic dewars and Stirling cooling systems to be re...
متن کاملQuantum-dot infrared photodetectors: Status and outlook
This paper reviews the present status and possible future developments of quantum-dot infrared photodetectors (QDIPs). At the beginning the paper summarizes the fundamental properties of QDIPs. Next, an emphasis is put on their potential developments. Investigations of the performance of QDIPs as compared to other types of infrared photodetectors are presented. A model is based on fundamental p...
