Paper Abstract
A metal grating coupled step-bound-to-miniband (SBTM) transition multiquantum well long wavelength infrared photodetector (LWIP) using a lightly strained In0.07Ga0.93As quantum well with a short-period Al0.4Ga0.6As -GaAs superlattice barrier structure has been developed. The new structure created a potential `step' in the superlattice barrier to block the undesirable electron tunneling current from the heavily doped ground state in the quantum well, which results in a significant reduction in the device dark current. The measured absorbance spectra and photocurrent are in good agreement with our theoretical predictions. The responsivity R(lambda ) at Vb equals 6 V and T equals 77 K was found equal to 0.2, 0.15 A/W for the backside, and front normal incident illumination, respectively.
