Electrical Characterizations

In this paper, a full set of structural, optical and electrical characterizations performed on midwave infrared barrier detectors based on a Ga-free InAs/InAsSb type-II superlattice, grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) on a GaSb substrate, are reported and analyzed. a Minority carrier lifetime value equal to 1 µs at 80 K, carried out on dedicated structure showing photoluminescence peak position at 4.9 µm, is extracted from a time resolved photoluminescence measurement. Dark current density as low as 3.2 × 10−5 A/cm2 at 150 K is reported on the corresponding device exhibiting a 50% cut-off wavelength around 5 µm. A performance analysis through normalized spectral response and dark current density-voltage characteristics was performed to determine both the operating bias and the different dark current regimes.

In this letter, we report the demonstration of a pBn planar mid-wavelength infrared photodetectors based on type-II InAs/InAs1−xSbx superlattices, using silicon ion-implantation to isolate the devices. At 77 K the photodetectors exhibited peak responsivity of 0.76 A/W at 3.8 µm, corresponding to a quantum efficiency, without anti-reflection coating, of 21.5% under an applied bias of +40 mV with a 100% cut-off wavelength of 4.6 µm. With a dark current density of 5.21 × 10−6 A/cm2, under +40 mV applied bias and at 77 K, the photodetector exhibited a specific detectivity of 4.95 × 1011 cm·Hz1/2/W.

Removal Technique

ABSTRACTThis paper describes in detail a surface preparation, and post-etch removal technique developed for InGaAs sidewalls. It illustrates the results demonstrating the effect of sidewall post-etch, surface preparation, and surface passivation on the performance of high speed InGaAs detectors. Dark current density for circular diodes with a diameter size varying between 10 and 100 μm was measured at a reverse bias voltage of −5 V. The effectiveness of various surface preparation techniques was studied by measuring the immediate improvement in dark current density, as well as its long-term stability. The benefits of this new technique compared to other techniques we have investigated include improved device characteristics, long-term stability, as well as a much less critical process to achieve optimum surface properties.
