研究目的
Investigating the electronic band structure of InAs/InAsSb type-II superlattices for high operating temperature long wavelength infrared detectors.
研究成果
The type-IIb InAs/InAs1?xSbx SLs on GaSb bu?er (GaAs substrate) were investigated. The proper ?tting of theoretically calculated and experimentally measured spectral characteristics was presented. It was shown that an increase in the VBO leads to structure transformation from type-IIb to type-II. The required energy bandgap can be obtained by changing both the CBO and the bg respectively. The bowing energy bandgap temperature dependence on temperature was shown pointing out on proper coincidence with experimental results.
研究不足
The study is limited by the technical constraints of the MBE growth process and the accuracy of the k?p method in predicting band structures. The application is constrained to LWIR detectors under HOT conditions.
