摘要
Long-wave infrared InAs/InAsSb type-II superlattice nBn photodetectors are demonstrated on GaSb substrates. The typical device consists of a 2.2 mu m thick absorber layer and has a 50% cutoff wavelength of 13.2 mu m, a measured dark current density of 5 x 10(-4) A/cm(2) at 77 K under a bias of -0.3 V, a peak responsivity of 0.24 A/W at 12 mu m, and a maximum resistance-area product of 300 Omega cm(2) at 77 K. The calculated generation-recombination noise limited specific detectivity (D*) and experimentally measured D* at 12 mu m and 77K are 1 x 10(10) cm Hz(1/2)/W and 1 x 10(8) cm Hz(1/2)/W, respectively.
