Abstract
p+-InSb/π-InAs1-xSbx/n+-InSb heterojunction photodiodes operating at near room temperature in the 8-13 μm region of infrared (IR) spectrum are reported. A room-temperature photovoltaic response of up to 13 μm has been observed at 300 K with an x≈0.85 sample. The voltage responsivity-area product of 3×10-5 V cm 2/W has been obtained at 300 K for the λ=10.6 μm optimized device. This was close to the theoretical limit set by the Auger mechanism, with a detectivity at room temperature of ≈1.5×108 cm Hz 1/2/W.
