14.	Molecular beam epitaxial growth of InSb p-i-n photodetectors on GaAs and Si E. Michel, R. Peters, S. Slivken, C. Jelen, P. Bove, J. Xu, I. Ferguson, and M. Razeghi Optoelectronic Integrated Circuit Materials, Physics and Devices, SPIE Conference, San Jose, CA; Proceedings, Vol. 2397-- February 6, 1995 ...[Visit Journal] High quality InSb has been grown by Molecular Beam Epitaxy and optimized using Reflection High Energy Electron Diffraction. A 4.8 micrometers InSb layer grown on GaAs at a growth temperature of 395 degree(s)C and a III/V incorporation ratio of 1:1.2 had an X-ray rocking curve FWHM of 158 arcsec and a Hall mobility of 92300 cm2V-1s-1 at 77 K, the best reported to date for InSb nucleated directly onto GaAs. InSb p-i-n structures of 5.8 micrometers grown under the same conditions demonstrated a X-ray Full Width at Half Maximum of 101 arcsec and 131 arcsec for GaAs and Si substrates, respectively, and exhibited excellent uniformity of +/- 3 arcsec over a 3' substrate. Prototype InSb p-i-n detectors on Si have been fabricated and have demonstrated photovoltaic response at 6.5 micrometers up to 200 K. These p-i-n detectors have also exhibited the highest D* for a device grown onto Si. [reprint (PDF)]
14.	Gain and recombination dynamics in photodetectors made with quantum nanostructures: The quantum dot in a well and the quantum well B. Movaghar, S. Tsao, S. Abdollahi Pour, T. Yamanaka, and M. Razeghi Physical Review B, Vol. 78, No. 11-- September 15, 2008 ...[Visit Journal] We consider the problem of charge transport and recombination in semiconductor quantum well infrared photodetectors and quantum-dot-in-a-well infrared detectors. The photoexcited carrier relaxation is calculated using rigorous random-walk and diffusion methods, which take into account the finiteness of recombination cross sections, and if necessary the memory of the carrier generation point. In the present application, bias fields are high and it is sufficient to consider the drift limited regime. The photoconductive gain is discussed in a quantum-mechanical language, making it more transparent, especially with regard to understanding the bias and temperature dependence. Comparing experiment and theory, we can estimate the respective recombination times. The method developed here applies equally well to nanopillar structures, provided account is taken of changes in mobility and trapping. Finally, we also derive formulas for the photocurrent time decays, which in a clean system at high bias are sums of two exponentials. [reprint (PDF)]
14.	Solar-blind photodetectors and focal plane arrays based on AlGaN R. McClintock, M. Razeghi Proc. SPIE 9555, Optical Sensing, Imaging, and Photon Counting: Nanostructured Devices and Applications, 955502-- August 25, 2015 ...[Visit Journal] III-Nitride material system (AlGaInN) possesses unique optical, electrical and structural properties such as a wide tunable direct bandgap, inherent fast carrier dynamics; good carrier transport properties, high breakdown fields; and high robustness and chemical stability. Recent technological advances in the wide bandgap AlGaN portion of this material system have led to a renewed interest in ultraviolet (UV) photodetectors. These detectors find use in numerous applications in the defense, commercial and scientific arenas such as covert space-to-space communications, early missile threat detection, chemical and biological threat detection and spectroscopy, flame detection and monitoring, UV environmental monitoring, and UV astronomy.1,2,3 Back illuminated detectors operating in the solar blind region are of special interest. Back illumination allows the detector to be hybridized to a silicon read-out integrated circuit, epi-side down, and still collect light through the back of the transparent sapphire substrate. This allows the realization of solar blind focal plane arrays (FPAs) for imaging applications. Solar-blind FPAs are especially important because of the near total absence of any background radiation in this region. In this talk, we will present our recent back-illuminated solar-blind photodetector, mini-array, and FPA results. By systematically optimizing the design of the structure we have realized external quantum efficiencies (EQE) of in excess of 89% for pixel-sized detectors. Based on the absence of any anti-reflection coating, this corresponds to nearly 100% internal quantum efficiency. At the same time, the dark current remains below ~2 × 10^-9 A/cm² even at 10 volts of reverse bias. The detector has a very sharp falloff starting at 275 with the UV-solar rejection of better than three orders of magnitude, and a visible rejection ratio is more than 6 orders of magnitude. This high performance photodetector design was then used as the basis of the realization of solar-blind FPA. We demonstrated a 320×256 FPA with a peak detection wavelength of 278nm. The operability of the FPA was better than 92%, and excellent corrected imaging was obtained. [reprint (PDF)]
14.	Temperature insensitivity of the Al-free InGaAsP/GaAs lasers for λ = 808 and 908 nm M. Razeghi, H. Yi, J. Diaz, S. Kim, and M. Erdtmann SPIE Conference, San Jose, CA; Proceedings 3001-- February 12, 1997 ...[Visit Journal] n this work, we present our recent achievements for the reliability of the Al-free lasers at high temperatures and high powers. Laser operations up to 30,000 hours were achieved without any degradation in the lasers characteristics from 7 randomly selected InGaAsP/GaAs diodes for λ = 808 nm. The test were performed for lasers without mirror-coating for optical power of 0.5 to 1 W CW at 50 approximately 60 °C. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first direct demonstration of the extremely high reliability of Al-free diodes operations at high powers and temperatures for periods of time much longer than practical need (approximately 3 years). The characteristics during the tests are discussed in detail. [reprint (PDF)]
14.	High-quality visible-blind AlGaN p-i-n photodiodes E. Monroy, M. Hamilton, D. Walker, P. Kung, F.J. Sanchez, and M. Razeghi Applied Physics Letters 74 (8)-- February 22, 1999 ...[Visit Journal] We report the fabrication and characterization of Al_xGa_1−xN p-i-n photodiodes (0 < x < 0.15) grown on sapphire by low-pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. The devices present a visible rejection of six orders of magnitude with a cutoff wavelength that shifts from 365 to 338 nm. Photocurrent decays are exponential for high load resistances, with a time constant that corresponds to the RC product of the system. For low load resistances, the transient response becomes non-exponential, with a decay time longer than the RC constant. This behavior is justified by the strong frequency dependence of the device capacitance. By an admittance analysis, we conclude that speed is not limited by deep levels, but by substitutional Mg capture and emission time. [reprint (PDF)]
14.	Theoretical investigation of minority carrier leakage of high-power 0.8 μm InGaAsP/InGaP/GaAs laser diodes J. Diaz, I. Eliashevich, H.J. Yi, M. Stanton, and M. Razeghi Applied Physics Letters 65 (18)-- October 31, 1994 ...[Visit Journal] We report a theoretical model that accurately describes the effects of minority carrier leakage from the InGaAsP waveguide into InGaP cladding layers in high‐power aluminum-free 0.8 μm InGaAsP/InGaP/GaAs separate confinement heterostructure lasers. Current leakage due to the relatively low band‐gap discontinuity between the active region and the InGaP barrier can be eliminated by employing laser diodes with cavity length longer than 500 μm. Experimental results for lasers grown by low-pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition are in excellent agreement with the theoretical model. [reprint (PDF)]
14.	High Quantum Efficiency Solar-Blind Photodetectors R. McClintock, A. Yasan, K. Mayes, D. Shiell, S. Darvish, P. Kung and M. Razeghi SPIE Conference, Jose, CA, Vol. 5359, pp. 434-- January 25, 2004 ...[Visit Journal] We report AlGaN-based back-illuminated solar-blind p-i-n photodetectors with a record peak responsivity of 150 mA/W at 280 nm, corresponding to a high external quantum efficiency of 68%, increasing to 74% under 5 volts reverse bias. Through optimization of the p-AlGaN layer, we were able to remove the out-of-band negative photoresponse originating from the Schottky-like p-type metal contact, and hence significantly improve the degree of solar-blindness [reprint (PDF)]
14.	Band edge tunability of M-structure for heterojunction design in Sb based Type-II superlattice photodiodes B.M. Nguyen, D. Hoffman, P.Y. Delaunay, E.K. Huang, M. Razeghi, and J. Pellegrino Applied Physics Letters, Vol. 93, No. 16, p. 163502-1-- October 20, 2008 ...[Visit Journal] We present theoretically and experimentally the effect of the band discontinuity in Type-II misaligned InAs/GaSb superlattice heterodiodes. Calculations using the empirical tight binding method have shown the great flexibility in tuning the energy levels of the band edge in M-structure superlattice as compared to the standard InAs/GaSb superlattice. Through the experimental realization of several p-pi-M-n photodiodes, the band discontinuity alignment between the standard binary-binary superlattice and the M-structured superlattice was investigated via optical characterization. The agreement between the theoretical predictions and the experimental measurement confirms the capability of controlling the M-structure band edges and suggests a way to exploit this advantage for the realization of heterostructures containing an M-structured superlattice without bias dependent operation.

14.	Photoluminescence study of InAsSb/InAsSbP heterostructures grown by low-pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition S. Kim, M. Erdtmann, D. Wu, E. Kaas, H. Yi, J. Diaz, and M. Razeghi Applied Physics Letters 69 (11)-- September 9, 1996 ...[Visit Journal] Photoluminescence has been measured for double‐ and separate‐confinement InAsSb/InAsSbP heterostructures grown by low‐pressure metalorganic vapor deposition. A measurement of the integrated luminescence intensity at the temperature range of 77–300 K shows that over a wide range of excitation level (1–5×10² W/cm²) the radiative transitions are the dominant. mechanism below T∼170 K. Auger recombination coefficient C=C₀ exp(−E_a/kT) with C₀≊5×10⁻²⁷ cm⁶/s and E_a≊40 meV has been estimated. [reprint (PDF)]
14.	Low irradiance background limited type-II superlattice MWIR M-barrier imager E.K. Huang, S. Abdollahi Pour, M.A. Hoang, A. Haddadi, M. Razeghi and M.Z. Tidrow OSA Optics Letters (OL), Vol. 37, No. 11, p. 2025-2027-- June 1, 2012 ...[Visit Journal] We report a type-II superlattice mid-wave infrared 320 × 256 imager at 81 K with the M-barrier design that achieved background limited performance (BLIP) and ∼99%operability. The 280 K blackbody’s photon irradiance was limited by an aperture and a band-pass filter from 3.6 μm to 3.8 μm resulting in a total flux of ∼5 × 10¹² ph·cm⁻²·s⁻¹. Under these low-light conditions, and consequently the use of a 13.5 ms integration time, the imager was observed to be BLIP thanks to a ∼5 pA dark current from the 27 μm wide pixels. The total noise was dominated by the photon flux and read-out circuit which gave the imager a noise equivalent input of ∼5 × 10¹⁰ ph·cm⁻²·s⁻¹ and temperature sensitivity of 9 mK with F∕2.3 optics. Excellent imagery obtained using a 1-point correction alludes to the array’s uniform responsivity. [reprint (PDF)]
14.	High operating temperature MWIR photon detectors based on Type II InAs/GaSb superlattice M. Razeghi, S. Abdollahi Pour, E.K. Huang, G. Chen, A. Haddadi and B.M. Nguyen SPIE Proceedings, Infrared Technology and Applications XXXVII, Orlando, FL, Vol. 8012, p. 80122Q-1-- April 26, 2011 ...[Visit Journal] Recent efforts have been paid to elevate the operating temperature of Type II superlattice Mid Infrared photon detectors. Using M-structure superlattice, novel device architectures have been developed, resulting in significant improvement of the device performances. In this paper, we will compare different photodetector architectures and discuss the optimization scheme which leads to almost one order of magnitude of improvement to the electrical performance. At 150K, single element detectors exhibit a quantum efficiency above 50%, and a specific detectivity of 1.05x10(12) cm.Hz(1/2)/W. BLIP operation with a 300K background and 2π FOV can be reached with an operating temperature up to 180K. High quality focal plane arrays were demonstrated with a noise equivalent temperature difference (NEDT) of 11mK up to 120K. Human body imaging is achieved at 150K with NEDT of 150mK. [reprint (PDF)]
14.	Optimizing facet coating of quantum cascade lasers for low power consumption Y. Bai, S.R. Darvish, N. Bandyopadhyay, S. Slivken and M. Razeghi Journal of Applied Physics, Vol. 109, No. 5, p. 053103-1-- March 1, 2011 ...[Visit Journal] Typical high power consumption (∼10 W) of mid-infrared quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) has been a serious limitation for applications in battery powered systems. A partial high-reflection (PHR) coating technique is introduced for power downscaling with shorter cavity lengths. The PHR coating consists of a double layer dielectric of SiO₂ and Ge. With this technique, a 4.6 μm QCL with an ultra low threshold power consumption of less than a watt (0.83 W) is demonstrated in room temperature continuous wave operation. At 25°C, the maximum output power and wall plug efficiency are 192 mW and 8.6%, respectively. [reprint (PDF)]
14.	Al_xGa_1-xN-based back-illuminated solar-blind photodetectors with external quantum efficiency of 89% E. Cicek, R. McClintock, C. Y. Cho, B. Rahnema, and M. Razeghi Appl. Phys. Lett. 103, 191108 (2013)-- November 5, 2013 ...[Visit Journal] We report on high performance Al_xGa_1−xN-based solar-blind ultraviolet photodetector (PD) array grown on sapphire substrate. First, high quality, crack-free AlN template layer is grown via metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. Then, we systematically optimized the device design and material doping through the growth and processing of multiple devices. After optimization, uniform and solar-blind operation is observed throughout the array; at the peak detection wavelength of 275 nm, 729 μm² area PD showed unbiased peak external quantum efficiency and responsivity of ∼80% and ∼176 mA/W, respectively, increasing to 89% under 5 V of reverse bias. Taking the reflection loses into consideration, the internal quantum efficiency of these optimized PD can be estimated to be as high as ∼98%. The visible rejection ratio measured to be more than six orders of magnitude. Electrical measurements yielded a low-dark current density: <2 × 10⁻⁹ A/cm², at 10 V of reverse bias. [reprint (PDF)]
14.	Solar-Blind Al_xGa_1-xN p-i-n Photodetectors grown on LEO and non-LEO GaN P. Sandvik, D. Walker, P. Kung, K. Mi, F. Shahedipour, V. Kumar, X. Zhang, J. Diaz, C. Jelen, and M. Razeghi SPIE Conference, San Jose, CA, Vol. 3948, pp. 265 -- January 26, 2000 ...[Visit Journal] The III-Nitride material system is an excellent candidate for UV photodetector applications due to its wide, direct bandgaps and robust material nature. However, despite many inherent material advantages, the III-Nitride material system typically suffers from a large number of extended defects which degrade material quality and device performance. One technique aimed at reducing defect densities in these materials is lateral epitaxial overgrowth (LEO). In this work, we present a preliminary comparison between AlGaN UV, solar-blind p-i-n photodiodes fabricated form LEO GaN and non-LEO GaN. Improvements in both responsivity and rejection ratio are observed, however, further device improvements are necessary. For these, we focus on the optimization of the p- i-n structure and a reduction in contact resistivity to p- GaN and p-AlGaN layers. By improving the structure of the device, GaN p-i-n photodiodes were fabricated and demonstrate 86 percent internal quantum efficiency at 362 nm and a peak to visible rejection ratio of 105. Contact treatments have reduced the contact resistivity to p-GaN and p-AlGaN by over one order of magnitude form our previous results. [reprint (PDF)]
14.	High-Performance Focal Plane Arrays Based on InAs-GaSb Superlattices with a 10-micron Cutoff Wavelegth P.Y. Delaunay, B.M. Nguyen, D. Hoffman and M. Razeghi IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics, Vol. 44, No. 5, p. 462-467-- May 1, 2008 ...[Visit Journal] We report on the demonstration of a focal plane array based on Type-II InAs/GaSb superlattices grown on N-type GaSb substrate with a 50%-cutoff wavelength at 10 μm. The surface leakage occurring after flip-chip bonding and underfill in the Type-II devices was suppressed using a double heterostructure design. The R₀A of diodes passivated with SiO₂ was 23 Ω·cm² after underfill. A focal plane array hybridized to an Indigo readout integrated circuit demonstrated a noise equivalent temperature difference of 33 mK at 81 K, with an integration time of 0.23 ms. [reprint (PDF)]
14.	High Power Mid-Infrared Quantum Cascade Lasers Grown on GaAs Steven Slivken and Manijeh Razeghi Photonics 2022, 9(4), 231 (COVER ARTICLE) ...[Visit Journal] The motivation behind this work is to show that InP-based intersubband lasers with high power can be realized on substrates with significant lattice mismatch. This is a primary concern for the integration of mid-infrared active optoelectronic devices on low-cost photonic platforms, such as Si. As evidence, an InP-based mid-infrared quantum cascade laser structure was grown on a GaAs substrate, which has a large (4%) lattice mismatch with respect to InP. Prior to laser core growth, a metamorphic buffer layer of InP was grown directly on a GaAs substrate to adjust the lattice constant. Wafer characterization data are given to establish general material characteristics. A simple fabrication procedure leads to lasers with high peak power (>14 W) at room temperature. These results are extremely promising for direct quantum cascade laser growth on Si substrates. [reprint (PDF)]
14.	Highly Conductive Co-Doped Ga2O3Si-In Grown by MOCVD Junhee Lee, Honghyuk Kim, Lakshay Gautam and Manijeh Razeghi Coatings 2021, 11(3), 287; https://doi.org/10.3390/coatings11030287 ...[Visit Journal] We report a highly conductive gallium oxide doped with both silicon and indium grown on c-plane sapphire substrate by MOCVD. From a superlattice structure of indium oxide and gallium oxide doped with silicon, we obtained a highly conductive material with an electron hall mobility up to 150 cm2/V·s with the carrier concentration near 2 × 1017 cm−3. However, if not doped with silicon, both Ga2O3:In and Ga2O3 are highly resistive. Optical and structural characterization techniques such as X-ray, transmission electron microscope, and photoluminescence, reveal no significant incorporation of indium into the superlattice materials, which suggests the indium plays a role of a surfactant passivating electron trapping defect levels.

14.	Monolithic integration of a short‐length GaInAs photoconductor with a GaAs/GaAlAs optical waveguide on a GaAs semi‐insulating substrate F. Mallecot; J. F. Vinchant; M. Razeghi; D. Vandermoere; J. P. Vilcot; D. Decoster Appl. Phys. Lett. 53, 2522–2524 (1988)-- December 19, 1988 ...[Visit Journal] We report the first fabrication of a GaO. 47 Inn. 53 As planar photoconductive detector, associated with a GaAs/GaAIAs rib waveguide grown on a semi-insulating GaAs substrate, which needs a short-length absorbing layer to detect the optical signal. Because of the GaAIAs epilayer, a GalnAs length of about 100 tl1n only is needed to detect 90% of the opticai signal, accordingly to results predicted using a four-layer model with complex refractive indices in each layer.

14.	1.2–1.6 μm GaxIn1−xAsyP1−y-InP DH lasers grown by LPMOCVD M. Razeghi, B. de Crémoux, J.P. Duchemin M. Razeghi, B. de Crémoux, J.P. Duchemin, 1.2–1.6 μm GaxIn1−xAsyP1−y-InP DH lasers grown by LPMOCVD, Journal of Crystal Growth, Volume 68, Issue 1, 1984, Pages 389-397,-- September 1, 1984 ...[Visit Journal] Room temperature pulse operation and continuous wave (CW) operation in the 1.2–1.6 μm region have been achieved in GaInAsP-InP DH lasers fabricated on material grown by LPMOCVD. Threshold currents density as low as 430 A/cm2 (cavity length of 950 μm) have been measured for devices emitting at 1.3 μm. Threshold current densities of 1060 A/cm2 (cavity length of 400 μm) have been obtained for devices emitting at 1.55 μm, with active layer thicknesses of 0.22 μm. Values of T0 between 60 and 70 K have been obtained. Fundamental transverse mode oscillation has been achieved (for CW operation) up to an output power of 10 mW. The preliminary results on the aging test are most encouraging and demonstrate that the LPMOCVD lasers emitting at 1.2–1.6 μm have comparable degradation rates to those of LPE lasers suggesting the LPMOCVD technique is promising for large scale production of laser diodes.

14.	Room temperature single-mode terahertz sources based on intracavity difference-frequency generation in quantum cascade lasers Q.Y. Lu, N. Bandyopadhyay, S. Slivken, Y. Bai and M. Razeghi Applied Physics Letters, Vol. 99, Issue 13, p. 131106-1-- September 26, 2011 ...[Visit Journal] We demonstrate room temperature single-mode THz emission at 4 THz based on intracavity difference-frequency generation from mid-infrared dual-wavelength quantum cascade lasers. An integrated dual-period distributed feedback grating is defined on the cap layer to purify both mid-infrared pumping wavelengths and in turn the THz spectra. Single mode operation of the pumping wavelengths results in a single-mode THz operation with a narrow linewidth of 6.6 GHz. A maximum THz power of 8.5 μW with a power conversion efficiency of 10 μW/W² is obtained at room temperature. [reprint (PDF)]
14.	Al_xGa_1−xN-based solar-blind ultraviolet photodetector based on lateral epitaxial overgrowth of AlN on Si substrate E. Cicek, R. McClintock, C. Y. Cho, B. Rahnema, and M. Razeghi Appl. Phys. Lett. 103, 181113 (2013)-- October 30, 2013 ...[Visit Journal] We report on Al_xGa_1−xN-based solar-blind ultraviolet (UV) photodetector (PD) grown on Si(111) substrate. First, Si(111) substrate is patterned, and then metalorganic chemical vapor deposition is implemented for a fully-coalesced ∼8.5 μm AlN template layer via a pulsed atomic layer epitaxial growth technique. A back-illuminated p-i-n PD structure is subsequently grown on the high quality AlN template layer. After processing and implementation of Si(111) substrate removal, the optical and electrical characteristic of PDs are studied. Solar-blind operation is observed throughout the array; at the peak detection wavelength of 290 nm, 625 μm² area PD showed unbiased peak external quantum efficiency and responsivity of ∼7% and 18.3 mA/W, respectively, with a UV and visible rejection ratio of more than three orders of magnitude. Electrical measurements yielded a low-dark current density below 1.6 × 10⁻⁸ A/cm² at 10 V reverse bias. [reprint (PDF)]
14.	Combined resonant tunneling and rate equation modeling of terahertz quantum cascade lasers Zhichao Chen , Andong Liu, Dong Chang , Sukhdeep Dhillon , Manijeh Razeghi , Feihu Wang Journal of Applied Physics, 135, 115703 ...[Visit Journal] Terahertz (THz) quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) are technologically important laser sources for the THz range but are complex to model. An efficient extended rate equation model is developed here by incorporating the resonant tunneling mechanism from the density matrix formalism, which permits to simulate THz QCLs with thick carrier injection barriers within the semi-classical formalism. A self-consistent solution is obtained by iteratively solving the Schrödinger-Poisson equation with this transport model. Carrier-light coupling is also included to simulate the current behavior arising from stimulated emission. As a quasi-ab initio model, intermediate parameters such as pure dephasing time and optical linewidth are dynamically calculated in the convergence process, and the only fitting parameters are the interface roughness correlation length and height. Good agreement has been achieved by comparing the simulation results of various designs with experiments, and other models such as density matrix Monte Carlo and non-equilibrium Green’s function method that, unlike here, require important computational resources. The accuracy, compatibility, and computational efficiency of our model enables many application scenarios, such as design optimization and quantitative insights into THz QCLs. Finally, the source code of the model is also provided in the supplementary material of this article for readers to repeat the results presented here, investigate and optimize new designs.

Maurel, Pressure dependence study of the effective mass in Ga0.47In0.53As/InP heterojunctions, Superlattices and Microstructures, Volume 4, Issue 2, 1988, Pages 201-206-- August 17, 1987 ...[Visit Journal] A study of the effective mass in GaInAs/InP heterojunctions under hydrostatic pressure up to 15 kbars is presented. Earlier results have shown the importance of hydrostatic pressure effects on the band parameters of the heterojunction to explain the experimental decrease of the carrier concentration with pressure at the interface (1). Here magnetophonon resonance experiments are performed to work out the increase of mass with pressure in our samples. The effective mass at atmospheric pressure is deduced from high temperature cyclotron resonance experiments and then used to calculate the frequency of the phonon interacting with the 2D electron gas (wo). The value of wo is found to be dependent on the carrier concentration of the measured samples. The lowest value is found for the highest carrier concentration sample. A band edge effective mass increase of 1 ± .1% kbar is found in the highest carrier concentration sample. This is two times smaller than the rate found experimentally in GaInAs bulk material and slightly smaller than in an AlInAs/GaInAs heterojunction. The experimental increase could be fitted with multiband k.p theory assuming no pressure dependence for the conduction band-valence band matrix element Ep. However at lower concentration a variation of the matrix element Ep with pressure has to be considered. [reprint (PDF)]

An n-i-p type-II InAs/GaSb/AlSb photodiode was grown with a designed cut-off wavelength of 2 μm on a GaSb substrate. At 150 K, the photodiode exhibited a dark current density of 5.6 × 10⁻⁸ A/cm² and a front-side-illuminated quantum efficiency of 40.3%, providing an associated shot noise detectivity of 1.0 × 10¹³ Jones. The uncooled photodiode showed a dark current density of 2.2 × 10⁻³ A/cm² and a quantum efficiency of 41.5%, resulting in a detectivity of 1.7 × 10¹⁰ Jones [reprint (PDF)]
