Abstract
Electrochemical passivation of InAs/GaSb type-II strain layer superlattice detectors is presented. Thickness and composition of the deposited sulphur coating were determined using auger electron spectroscopy. Passivation lead to a decrease in the dark current density and the dynamic impedance-area product at zero bias (R0A) improved by three orders of magnitude at 50 K
