摘要
We report a complete fabrication process of InAs/GaSb type-II superlattice long-wavelength infrared photodiodes with band structure modelling, materials growth and device fabrication. The optoelectronic property of InAs/GaSb type-II superlattices is simulated by the modified empirical tight binding model for interface stoichiometry. We chose target superlattices from the simulation results. To obtain good lattice matched and high interface quality material, a two-step strain balance method of migration-enhanced epitaxy is applied in the growth of superlattices. The property of superlattices is matched well with the simulation results. Finally, photodiodes with 50% cutoff wavelength of 8.72 mu m and peak detectivity of 8.1 x 10(10) cm Hz(1/2) W-1 at 77 K are demonstrated.
