摘要
The authors report on investigation of type-II InAs/GaSb and InAs/InxGa1-xSb strained layer superlattices (SLSs) for long-wave infrared detection. Growth conditions were optimized to obtain nearly lattice matched (Delta a/a similar to 0.03%) 13 ML InAs/7 ML GaSb SLS nBn detector structure with cutoff wavelength of similar to 8.5 mu m (77 K). Dark current density was equal to 3.2x10(-4) A/cm(2) (V-b=+50 mV, 77 K) for this detector structure. Thin 10 ML InAs/6 ML In0.35Ga0.65Sb SLS was grown with zero lattice mismatch achieved by incorporation of 2.5 ML of GaAs in every SLS period. (C) 2010 American Vacuum Society.
