Modeling of dark current in midinfrared quantum well infrared photodetectors
We present a model for the description of dark IV curves in midinfrared quantum well infrared photodetectors at low temperatures, in a regime where dark current is dominated by interwell tunneling. The model separates the IV curve into a low-field and a high-field region allowing us to identify the effects ascribed to miniband transport and carrier localization, respectively. At low fields the ...
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 کاملNoise in single quantum well infrared photodetectors
The noise of the dark current and photocurrent is an important factor in operation of the quantum well infrared photodetectors ~QWIPs!. For typical operating conditions, the main source of fluctuations in QWIPs is generationrecombination noise associated with the excitation of carriers from the QWs into the continuum and their capture into the QWs. For applications the study of noise in QWIPs i...
متن کاملExplicit Derivation of Dark Thermionic Current Densities in III-V Multiquantum Well Infrared Photodetectors
We propose an analytic calculation of the dark current density for GaAs/A1GaAs thick barrier quantum well infrared photo-detectors (QWIP's). We evaluate the dark current component, by integrating (a) drift velocity of the carriers via their kinetic energy (b) the non-tunneling probability factor 1-T (E) (c) the Fermi factor and (d) the 3-d density of states (DOS) of the multiple quantum well st...
متن کاملPhotocurrent noise in multi-quantum-well infrared photodetectors
We report on photocurrent noise in AlGaAs/GaAs quantum-well infrared photodetectors having nominally the same design, except the number of wells N . The power spectral density does not scale as the inverse of the number of wells N in the presence of infrared radiation. These features can be understood by taking into account the nonlinearity arising at high infrared power as a consequence of the...
