Demonstration of infrared nBn photodetectors based on the AlInAsSb digital alloy materials system

Abstract

We report an nBn photodetector based on the AlInAsSb digital alloy materials system, which has the advantage of a near-zero valence band offset. These photodetectors have achieved 28% external quantum efficiency, dark current densities of 2.6 × 10−3 A/cm2 at 300 K and 1.8 × 10−9 A/cm2 at 100 K with −0.5 V bias, and detectivity of 1.7 × 1010 Jones at room temperature under 2 μm wavelength illumination.
