摘要
Room temperature surface-illuminated InAsxP1-x-ySby/InAs photodiodes with an external quantum efficiency as high as 50-86% in a 1.83-3.53 mu m wavelength range have been fabricated for the first time. Lattice matched heterostructures with a wide energy gap InAsPSb cap layer were grown ou the InAs substrate using the Liquid phase epitaxy technique. According to temperature dependence measurements for a 1 mm diameter photodiode, peak responsivities of 1.85-2.5 A/W have been realized in a temperature range of 296 to 200 K. The Johnson noise limited room temperatnre detectivities D* are deduced to be 1-6 x 10(9) cm.Hz(1/2)/W at zero bias. It is demonstrated that the only loss of external quantum efficiency is from the reflection of the entrance face.
