摘要
The authors report the dependence of the quantum efficiency on device thickness of type-II InAs/GaSb superlattice photodetectors with a cutoff wavelength around 12 mu m. The quantum efficiency and responsivity show a clear delineation in comparison to the device thickness. An external single-pass quantum efficiency of 54% is obtained for a 12 mu m cutoff wavelength photodiodes with a pi-region thickness of 6.0 mu m. The R(0)A value is kept stable for the range of structure thicknesses allowing for a specific detectivity (2.2x10(11) cm root Hz/W). (c) 2007 American Institute of Physics.
