چکیده
Midwave infrared (MWIR) InAs/GaSb superlattice (SL) photodiode with a dopant-free p-n junction was fabricated by molecular beam epitaxy on GaSb substrate. Depending on the thickness ratio between InAs and GaSb layers in the SL period, the residual background carriers of this adjustable material can be either n-type or p-type. Using this flexibility in residual doping of the SL material, the p-n junction of the device is made with different nonintentionally doped (nid) SL structures. The SL photodiode processed shows a cut-off wavelength at 4.65μm at 77K, residual carrier concentration equal to 1.75x1015 cm-3, dark current density as low as 2.8x10A/cm at 50 mV reverse bias and R0A product as high as 2x10.cm. The results obtained demonstrate the possibility to fabricate a SL pin photodiode without intentional doping the pn junction. Highlights : MWIR SL photodiode was made using the flexibility properties of InAs/GaSb Superlattice MWIR SL photodiode was made without intentional doping the pn junction Electrical and electro-optical characterizations of MWIR pin SL photodiode made of dopant-free p-n junction have been reported PACS 72.40+w, 73.40.Kp, 73.61.Ey

Influence of the p-type doping on the radiometric performances of MWIR InAs/GaSb superlattice photodiodes
In this paper, quantum efficiency (QE) measurements performed on type-II InAs/GaSb superlattice (T2SL) photodiodes operating in the mid-wavelength infrared domain, are reported. Several comparisons were made in order to determine the SL structure showing optimum radiometric performances : same InAs-rich SL structure with different active zone thicknesses (from 0.5μm to 4μm) and different active...
متن کاملMOVPE of GaSb/InGaAsSb multilayers and fabrication of dual band photodetectors
Metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) of GaSb/InGaAsSb multilayer thin films and fabrication of bias-selectable dual band photodetectors are reported. For the dual band photodetectors the short wavelength detector, or the upper pGaSb/n-GaSb junction photodiode, is placed optically ahead of the long wavelength one, or the lower photodiode. The latter is based on latticed-matched In0.13Ga0.87A...

We report our recent work on the growth and fabrication of InAs/GaSb type II superlattice photodiode detectors. The superlattice consists of 9 monolayer InAs/12 monolayer GaSb in each period. Lattice mismatch between the GaSb substrate and the superlattice is 1.5 × 10-4. The full width at half maximum of the first-order satellite peak from X-ray diffraction is 28 arc sec.

متن کاملHigh performance bias-selectable three-color Short-wave/Mid-wave/Long-wave Infrared Photodetectors based on Type-II InAs/GaSb/AlSb superlattices.
We propose a new approach in device architecture to realize bias-selectable three-color shortwave-midwave-longwave infrared photodetectors based on InAs/GaSb/AlSb type-II superlattices. The effect of conduction band off-set and different doping levels between two absorption layers are employed to control the turn-on voltage for individual channels. The optimization of these parameters leads to ...
