AbstractWe present four new types of III-V quantum well infrared photodetectors (QWIPs) operating in photoconductive (PC) and photovoltaic (PV) modes for the wavelength range from 2 to 14 μm. These dual-mode (DM) operation QWIPs were grown by the MBE technique using GaAs/AlGaAs, AlAs/AlGaAs, and InGaAs/InAlAs material systems. Based on the bound-to-miniband (BTM) and the enhanced bound-to-continuum (BTC) intersubband transition schemes, these detectors provide the features of large absorption coefficient, low dark current, and high detectivity in the wavelength of interest, and show promising for use in large area IR focal plane array image sensor applications.

AbstractIn this paper, we discuss a differentially strained p-doped quantum well infrared photodetector that achieves high performance specifications. We examine key device specifications for a 9 and 18 μm infrared detector. We calculate that through differential strain, these novel detectors have improved gain and substantially reduced dark current over previous quantum well infrared photodetectors, while being able to detect normal incident light.
