Abstract
AbstractWe have designed and fabricated a quantum dot infrared photodetector which utilizes lateral transport of photoexcited carriers in the modulation-doped A1GaAs/GaAs two-dimensional (2D) channels. A broad photocurrent signal has been observed in the photon energy range of 100–300 meV due to bound-to-continuum intersubband absorption of normal incidence radiation in the self-assembled InAs quantum dots. A peak responsivity was as high as 2.3 A/W. The high responsivity is realized mainly by a high mobility and a long lifetime of photoexcited carriers in the modulation-doped 2D channels. Furthermore, we found that this device has high operation temperature and very high photoconductive gain.
