Abstract

The invention relates to an InAs / GaSb superlattice infrared photoelectric detector for an HPT (Hydrogenated Propylene Tetramer) structure, which comprises a GaSb substrate, a top electrode and a bottom electrode, wherein a GaSb buffer layer, a GaSb collecting region, a InAs / GaSb superlattice base region, a AlGaAaSb base region, a AlGaAaSb emitting region and a GaSb covering layer are respectivelyprepared on the GaSb substrate by using a molecular beam epitaxy method; the top electrode is prepared on the surface of the GaSb covering layer by using a sputtering method, and a light entrance port is arranged in the center of the top electrode; and the bottom electrode is prepared on the lower surface of the GaSb substrate by using a sputtering method.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to semiconductor technology, mainly an InAs / GaSb superlattice infrared detector with HPT structure grown on a GaSb substrate. Background technique [0002] With the advancement of science and technology, infrared detectors with military use as the core have gradually developed. Atmospheric monitoring and other military and civilian fields have a wide range of applications. [0003] However, the most commonly used silicon-doped detectors, InSb, QWIP, MCT and other infrared detectors are required to work at low temperatures, require special refrigeration equipment, and are expensive, so their applications are limited. The InAs / GaSb infrared detector is due to the particularity of its materials, for example: the high effective mass of electrons and holes can effectively reduce the tunneling current and increase the density of states; the energy difference between the heavy hole band and the light hole band is large It can reduce Au...
