Abstract :
We present the spectral behavior of two different quantum dots-in-a-well (dwell) infrared photodetectors grown by low-pressure metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (LP-MOCVD). In0.5Ga0.5As quantum dots (QDs) in an In0.15Ga0.85As/GaAs quantum well (QW) and In0.5Ga0.5As QDs in a GaAs/Al0.2Ga0.8As QW have been incorporated into photodetectors and characterized. A spectral response in the 3-5 mum atmospheric window has been achieved due to the band-structure engineering that is possible with the dwell structure.
