Abstract
A novel InAs/GaAs quantum-dot infrared photodetector with an In0.5Ga0.5P dark current blocking layer for long-wavelength infrared (LWIR) detection has been developed in this work. Very low dark current densities were obtained at Vb = - 0.5 V (10-10 A/cm-2) and Vb = +0.5 V (10-11 A/cm-2) at 77 K. The normal incident responsivity up to 90 K was observed in this device. The background limited performance (BLIP) detectivity (D*BLIP) was found to be 3.36 × 109 cm-Hz1/2/W at λp = 12.2 μm with a corresponding responsivity of 55 mA/W at Vb = -1.7 V and T = 77 K.
