Abstract

Disclosed is a single-barrier type InGaAsSb infrared detector. The detector comprises a GaSb substrate, a lower contact layer which is manufactured on the GaSb substrate, a composite layer which is manufactured on the lower contact layer, and an upper contact layer which is manufactured on the composite layer. For overcoming the shortcomings of the existing strain InGaAs detector, the invention provides the single-barrier type InGaAsSb infrared detector with the advantages of low dark current and low noise.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of photodetectors, in particular to a single barrier type InGaAsSb infrared detector which can output 2-3 μm infrared photodetectors. Background technique [0002] 2-3μm infrared photodetectors have a wide range of uses. Infrared rays in this wavelength range can penetrate smoke well, and atmospheric glow imaging can also be used at night, which has important applications in military and remote sensing. [0003] At present, most 2-3μm infrared detectors use extended-wavelength strained InGaAs epitaxially grown on InP substrates. InGaAs with a high In composition does not match the InP substrate lattice, and a large amount of InGaAs is generated during the relaxation process during growth. Therefore, a large amount of dark current is generated when the device is working, which makes it difficult to improve the performance of the device. [0004] On the GaSb substrate, epitaxy of InGaAsSb that matches its lat...
