Abstract

A novel infrared photodetector — the quantum-dot infrared phototransistor — based on a multiple quantum dot structure is considered theoretically. An analytical model of the device is developed to evaluate its performance. The dark current and sensitivity are calculated. It is shown that the quantum-dot infrared phototransistor performance can surpass that of the quantum-well photodetectors.
