摘要
In this paper, the authors report on the growth of InAs/GaSb type-II strained layer superlattice (T2SL) material on (111) B GaSb substrates. Both substrate temperature and V/III beam equivalent pressure ratio were varied to optimize the crystalline and optical quality of the T2SL material. Midwave infrared (lambda(100%) (cut-off) similar to 5.6 mu m at 295 K) InAs/GaSb T2SL detectors were then grown on the same substrate orientation. After detailed radiometric characterization, the authors have measured, at 295 K and 4 mu m, a dark current density of 0.53 A/cm(2) (at -50 mV) and a Johnson noise limited specific detectivity (D*) of 8.5 x 10(9) Jones, which are superior values to the state-of-the-art T2SL detectors grown on conventional GaSb (100) substrates and operating in a similar wavelength range.
