Performance of dual-band short-or mid-wavelength infrared photodetectors based on InGaAsSb bulk materials and InAs/GaSb superlattices

In this paper,we demonstrate bias-selectable dual-band short-or mid-wavelength infrared photodetectors based on In_(0.24)Ga_(0.76)As_(0.21)Sb_(0.79)bulk materials and InAs/GaSb type-II superlattices with cutoff wavelengths of 2.2μm and 3.6μm,respectively.At 200 K,the short-wave channel exhibits a peak quantum efficiency of 42%and a dark current density of5.93×10~(-5)A/cm~2at 500 mV,thereby providing a detectivity of 1.55×10~(11)cm·Hz~(1/2)/W.The mid-wave channel exhibits a peak quantum efficiency of 31%and a dark current density of 1.22×10~(-3)A/cm~2at-300 mV,thereby resulting in a detectivity of 2.71×10~(10)cm·Hz~(1/2)/W.Moreover,we discuss the band alignment and spectral cross-talk of the dual-band n-i-p-p-i-n structure.
