A high-detectivity infrared photodiode was constructed using an InAso.15Sbo.85/InSb strained-layer superlattice (SLS). The surface passivated device exhibited detectivities ≥1 × 1010 cm √Hz/W at wavelengths ≥10 μm. This device demonstrates the feasibility of a long-wavelength, photovoltaic infrared detector technology based on InAsSb SLS’s. © 1990 IEEE
