Abstract

This communication reports on InAs/GaSb superlattice (SL) pin photodiodes. The SL structures, fabricated by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), are made of symmetrical and asymmetrical period designs adapted for the Midwave Infrared (MWIR) domain, with cut-off wavelength near 5µm at 77K. The structures are studied in terms of dark current-voltage measurements. Comparison of results revealed the predominance of the asymmetric SL design with dark current densities J = 4x10-8A/cm2 at 77K for Vbias = -50mV and R0A product equal to 1.5x106.cm2 at 77K, one order of magnitude higher than the symmetric SL structures. Such result demonstrates the strong influence of the period on the electrical properties of SL MWIR photodiodes.
