Explicit 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 کاملModeling 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 کاملLow dark current InAs/GaSb type-II superlattice infrared photodetectors with resonant tunnelling filters
InAs/GaSb type-II strained-layer superlattice (SLS) photovoltaic infrared (IR) detectors are currently of great interest for midand long-wave IR detection. A novel technique of reducing detector dark current by inserting resonant tunnelling barriers into a conventional InAs/GaSb SLS is investigated. The GaSb/InAs/GaSb resonant tunnelling double barrier heterostructure was designed to be periodi...
متن کاملImpressive Reduction of Dark Current in InSb Infrared Photodetector to achieve High Temperature Performance
Infrared photo detectors have vast and promising applications in military,industrial and other fields. In this paper, we present a method for improving theperformance of an infrared photodetector based on an InSb substance. To achieve goodperformance at high temperatures, thermal noise and intrusive currents should bereduced. For this purpose, a five-layer hetero structu...
متن کاملEpitaxial III-V-on-silicon waveguide butt-coupled photodetectors.
We report silicon waveguide butt-coupled p-i-n InGaAs photodetectors epitaxially grown on silicon-on-insulator substrates by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. The InGaAs absorption layer that is lattice-matched to InP is selectively grown on patterned SOI substrates, employing metamorphic growth of GaAs and InP buffer layers. We measure a dark current of 2.5 μA and a responsivity of 0.17 ...
