Abstract

The first AlGaAsSb/InGaAsSb phototransistors with a cutoff wavelength (50% of peak responsivity) of 2.4 μm operating in a broad range of temperatures are reported. These devices are also the first AlGaAsSb/InGaAsSb heterojunction phototransistors (HPT) grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The new MBE-grown HPT exhibited both high responsivity R (up to 2334 A/W for λ=2.05 μm at-20°C) and specific detectivity D* (up to 2.1×10¹¹ cmHz¹2//W for λ=2.05μm at -20°C)
