Complementary Barrier Infrared Detector Architecture for Long-Wavelength Infrared InAs/InAsSb Type-II Superlattice

We describe the challenges for long- and very long-wavelength InAs/InAsSb type-II strained-layer superlattice infrared detectors, and provide an overview of progress in device architecture development for addressing them. Specifically, we have explored the complementary barrier infrared detector (CB...

Description
Summary:We describe the challenges for long- and very long-wavelength InAs/InAsSb type-II strained-layer superlattice infrared detectors, and provide an overview of progress in device architecture development for addressing them. Specifically, we have explored the complementary barrier infrared detector (CBIRD) that contains <i>p</i>-type InAs/InAsSb T2SLS absorbers for enhancing quantum efficiency, while also suppressing surface shunt current. We describe selected device results, and also provide references to additional results and more in-depth discussions.
