In(Ga)As Quantum Ring Terahertz Photodetector With Cutoff Wavelength at 175 $mu$ m

An InAs–GaAs quantum ring infrared photodetector has been fabricated successfully. The photodetector demonstrates a cutoff wavelength at 175 $muhbox{m}$ (1.7 THz) and the detectivity of $1.3times 10^{7} hbox{cmHz}^{1/2}/hbox{W}$ at 80 K. The precise control of the In(Ga)As ring height by capping GaAs layer thickness is responsible for extension of the detector response to terahertz range.      

High-responsivity high-gain In/sub 0.53/Ga/sub 0.47/As-InP quantum-well infrared photodetectors grown using metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy

We report the growth and fabrication of bound-to-bound In/sub 0.53/Ga/sub 0.47/As-InP quantum-well infrared photodetectors using metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy.

In/sub 0.5/Ga/sub 0.5/As/GaAs quantum dot infrared photodetectors grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition

Design and characterization of superlattice infrared photodetectoroperating at low bias voltage

In this paper, we investigate the performance and characterization of a 15-period superlattice embedded between two thick AlGaAs barriers. The structure can operate at low bias voltage with less power consumption for 8-10 μm long-wavelength infrared detection. In our design, one barrier is used to reduce the dark current and the other one is designed to enhance the collection efficiency of photoelectrons at the collector contact. The fabricated detector can be operated at a bias voltage lower than 0.1 V and exhibits a pronounced photovoltaic response. The spectral response shows voltage dependence around 0 V. At high bias voltage (>25 mV) the spectral lineshape is independent of bias and is around 8-10 μm with peak wavelength at 9.3 μm. At lower bias voltage the response is shifted toward shorter wavelength range. The peak responsivity was found to be 12 mA/W at λ_p =8.7 μm and zero bias and 85 mA/W at λ_p=9.3 μm and 0.1 V. Background limitation can be achieved up to 65 K with bias voltage less than 0.1 V. The measured noise power spectral density of the dark current at 77 K shows the characteristics of full shot noise rather than generation-recombination noise. The peak detectivity is determined to be D^*=3.5×10⁹ cm√(Hz)/W at 77 K and 0.1 V. In comparison with a conventional 30-period QWIP, our detector has the advantages of better performance at low bias voltages with lower power consumption and a tunable feature of spectral range     

High-Temperature Tunneling Quantum-Dot Intersublevel Detectors for Mid-Infrared to Terahertz Frequencies

Quantum-dot infrared photodetectors have emerged as attractive devices for sensing long wavelength radiation. Their principle of operation is based on absorption of radiation via intersublevel transitions in quantum dots. Multiple layers of self-organized ln(Ga)As/Ga(Al)As quantum dots are generally incorporated in the active region of these devices. Three-dimensional quantum confinement allows normal incidence operation. This paper describes a novel variation in the design of these devices which allows a significant reduction of the dark current, high temperature operation and extension of operation to terahertz frequencies. The principle of operation and operating characteristics of this device - the tunnel quantum-dot intersublevel detector - are described. Operation is demonstrated from 6-80 mum at temperatures up to 300 K with acceptable values of peak responsivity (0.1-0.75 A/W) and specific detectivity (10⁷-10¹¹cm ldr Hz^1/2/W^-1 , depending on temperature and wavelength).     

InAs/GaAs quantum dot infrared photodetector (QDIP) with double Al/sub 0.3/Ga/sub 0.7/As blocking barriers

The ten stacked self-assembled InAs/GaAs quantum dot infrared photodetectors (QDIP) with different Al/sub 0.3/Ga/sub 0.7/As barrier widths and growth temperatures were prepared. Asymmetric current-voltage (I-V) characteristics and 2/spl sim/7.5 /spl mu/m detection window were observed. Peak responsivity of 84 mA/W at -0.4 V and peak specific detectivity of 2.5/spl times/10/sup 9/ cm-Hz/sup 1/2//W at zero bias were observed at 50 K. The characteristics of polarization insensitivity over the incident light and the high background photocurrent suggest that the self-assembled QDIP can be operated at higher temperature (/spl sim/250 K) under normal incidence condition in contrast to quantum well infrared photodetector (QWIP).
