Abstract

High-performance long-wavelength InAs/GaSb superlattice infrared photodetectors grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition are reported. “Diffusion-limited” behavior has been achieved for three devices with different doping concentration of the absorbers. Increasing the absorber doping concentration from 5×10 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">15</sup> to 5×10 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">16</sup> cm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">-3</sup> causes reduction of the dark current, decrease of the quantum efficiency, and blue-shift of the cutoff wavelength. The optimal device shows a 50% cutoff wavelength around 8.6 μm, a dark-current density of only 6.8×10 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">-6</sup> A/cm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> and a peak specific detectivity of 1.4×10 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">12</sup> cm·√{Hz} ·W <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">-1</sup> at 77 K and a reverse bias of -0.1 V.
