Abstract
We report the operation of broadband InAs0.85Sb0.15/ pn-junction photodetectors grown on InAs by liquid phase epitaxy. Despite the relatively large mismatch (≅1%) between the layers and the substrate the devices exhibit excellent zero bias detectivities (D*(70 K) = (1.5 Ã 1011 cm(Hz)1/2/W; D* (200 K) = 2 Ã 1010 cm(Hz)1/2/W at λ = 3.5 μm) and peak external quantum efficiencies of 40%.
