1.	Negative luminescence of InAs/GaSb superlattice photodiodes F. Fuchs, D. Hoffman, A. Gin, A. Hood, Y. Wei, and M. Razeghi Phys. Stat. Sol. C 3 (3)-- February 22, 2006 The emission behaviour of InAs/GaSb superlattice photodiodes has been studied in the spectral range between 8 µm and 13 μm. With a radiometric calibration of the experimental set-up the internal quantum efficiency has been determined in the temperature range between 80 K and 300 K for both, the negative and positive luminescence. The quantitative analysis of the internal quantum efficiency of the non-equilibrium radiation enables the determination of the Auger coefficient. reprint

Razeghi Journal of Applied Physics 99-- February 15, 2006 The emission behavior of binary-binary type-II InAs/GaSb superlattice photodiodes has been studied in the spectral range between 8 and 13 μm. With a radiometric calibration of the experimental setup the internal and external quantum efficiencies have been determined in the temperature range between 80 and 300 K for both the negative and positive luminescences. reprint
3.	Capacitance-voltage investigation of high purity InAs/GaSb superlattice photodiodes A. Hood, D. Hoffman, Y. Wei, F. Fuchs, and M. Razeghi Applied Physics Letters 88 (6)-- February 6, 2006 The residual carrier backgrounds of binary type-II InAs/GaSb superlattice photodiodes with cutoff wavelengths around 5 μm have been studied in the temperature range between 20 and 200 K. By applying a capacitance-voltage measurement technique, a residual background concentration below 10¹⁵ cm^–3 has been found. reprint
4.	Electroluminescence of InAs/GaSb heterodiodes D. Hoffman, A. Hood, E. Michel, F. Fuchs, and M. Razeghi IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics, 42 (2)-- February 1, 2006 The electroluminescence of a Type-II InAs-GaSb superlattice heterodiode has been studied as a function of injection current and temperature in the spectral range between 3 and 13 μm. The heterodiode comprises a Be-doped midwavelength infrared (MWIR) superlattice with an effective bandgap around 270 meV and an undoped long wavelength infrared (LWIR) superlattice with an effective bandgap of 115 meV. reprint
5.	Solar-blind avalanche photodiodes R. McClintock, K. Minder, A. Yasan, C. Bayram, F. Fuchs, P. Kung and M. Razeghi SPIE Conference, San Jose, CA, Vol. 6127, pp. 61271D-- January 23, 2006 There is a need for semiconductor based UV photodetectors to support avalanche gain in order to realize better performance and more effectively compete with existing photomultiplier tubes. However, there are numerous technical issues associated with the realization of high-quality solar-blind avalanche photodiodes (APDs). In this paper, APDs operating at 280 nm, within the solar-blind region of the ultraviolet spectrum, are investigated. reprint
6.	Negative and positive luminescence in mid-wavelength infrared InAs/GaSb superlattice photodiodes D. Hoffman, A. Gin, Y. Wei, A. Hood, F. Fuchs, and M. Razeghi IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics, 41 (12)-- December 1, 2005 The quantum efficiency of negative and positive luminescence in binary type-II InAs-GaSb superlattice photodiodes has been investigated in the midinfrared spectral range around the 5-μm wavelength. The negative luminescence efficiency is nearly independent on temperature in the entire range from 220 to 325 K. For infrared diodes with a 2-μm absorbing layer, processed without anti-reflection coating, a negative luminescence efficiency of 45% is found, indicating very efficient minority carrier extraction. The temperature dependent measurements of the quantum efficiency of the positive luminescence enables for the determination of the capture cross section of the Shockley-Read-Hall centers involved in the competing nonradiative recombination. reprint
7.	Negative luminescence of long-wavelength InAs/GaSb superlattice photodiodes D. Hoffman, A. Hood, Y. Wei, A. Gin, F. Fuchs, and M. Razeghi Applied Physics Letters 87 (20)-- November 14, 2005 The electrically pumped emission behavior of binary type-II InAs/GaSb superlattice photodiodes has been studied in the spectral range between 8 µm and 13 µm. With a radiometric calibration of the experimental setup, the internal and external quantum efficiency has been determined in the temperature range between 80 K and 300 K for both, the negative and positive luminescence. The negative luminescence efficiency approaches values as high as 35% without antireflection coating. The temperature dependence of the internal quantum efficiency near zero-bias voltage allows for the determination of the electron-hole-electron Auger recombination coefficient of Γ_n=1×10²⁴ cm⁶ s^–1. reprint
