Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of semiconductor optoelectronic materials and devices, in particular to an extended wavelength InGaAs detector on a GaAs substrate. Background technique [0002] Ternary In x Ga 1-x The As material is a full-component direct bandgap material. By adjusting the In component x, it can cover the 0.8~3.5μm band. Detectors made of InGaAs materials have the advantages of high sensitivity, fast response, good radiation resistance, and room temperature operation, making them ideal materials for space remote sensing in the short-wave infrared band. For detectors used in space remote sensing, the focus of research is to suppress noise, reduce the dark current of the device, and improve the detection rate. At present, the detection cut-off wavelength of InP-based InGaAs infrared detectors has been extended to 2.9 μm, and the device has also developed from a unit device to an infrared focal plane array, but the large dark curre...
