Abstract :
A high performance InGaAs/GaAs/AlGaAs superlattice coupled (SC) quantum well infrared photodetector (QWIP) grown on GaAs has been developed for long wavelength infrared detection. The dark I-V and spectral response were measured and analysed on this device. Excellent responsivity and detectivity were obtained for this SC-QWIP. The peak detectivity (D*) and collection quantum efficiency (ηg) under background limited performance (BLIP) condition were found to be D*BLIP=8.36×1010 cm-Hz1/2/W and ηg=18.8% at λp=10.5 μm, Vh=2.5 V, and T=20 K
