چکیده
A dual-band superlattice quantum dot infrared photodetector, providing bias-selectability of the response peaks, is demonstrated. The active region consists of two quantum dot superlattices separated by a graded barrier, enabling photocurrent generation only in one superlattice for a given bias polarity. Two response bands, one consisting of three peaks at 2.9, 3.2, and 4.9 m and the other consisting of three peaks at 4.4, 7.4, and 11 m, were observed up to 120 K for reverse and forward biases, respectively. The specific detectivity values at 80 K are 3.2 and 2.6 109 Jones for the 4.9 and 7.4 m peaks. © 2009 American Institute of Physics. DOI: 10.1063/1.3114420

متن کاملMetal-Insulator-Semiconductor Photodetectors
The major radiation of the sun can be roughly divided into three regions: ultraviolet, visible, and infrared light. Detection in these three regions is important to human beings. The metal-insulator-semiconductor photodetector, with a simpler process than the pn-junction photodetector and a lower dark current than the MSM photodetector, has been developed for light detection in these three regi...
متن کاملModeling of an electrically tunable quantum dot photodetector for terahertz detection
The terahertz region (1-10 THz) has potential applications in many areas, such as chemical sensing, medical imaging and free-space optical communications. With the demonstration of terahertz sources, it is quite necessary to develop the detection technology in terahertz. Here we propose an electrically tunable quantum dot infrared photodetector to detect the terahertz region. The proposed detec...
