InAs Infrared Photodiodes

Abstract: Advances in Photodiodes 428At the same time these PDs are characterized by rather low values of the differential resistance -area product R 0 A at room temperature. This seems to be the main reason that InAs infrared photodetectors operate in sub-BLIP regime (Rogalsky, 1995). Further improvement in their performance is possible with a decrease in dark current and supression of Auger recombination. Preparation of photodiodes and experimental techniquesHomojunction PDs were prepared by short-term (20-30 min) dif… Show more

“…The excess tunneling current in the forward-biased InAs photodiodes was satisfactorily explained in terms of inhomogeneous junction that contains local areas with a much higher concentration of defects [26]. The local inhomogeneities may be related to dislocations or other extended defects that release excess strains in semiconductors.…”

“…A model of trap-assisted tunneling (TAT) current has been developed in [24,25]. Based on this model experimental data were satisfactorily explained in Cd x Hg 1−x Te (x = 0.2…0.3) [25] and InAs infrared photodiodes [26].…”

“…Since the thickness of the depletion layer W 0 decreases from 1.2 m at 77 K to 1.0 m at 134 K (see Table), the interband tunneling cannot be dominant at rather low bias voltages |U| ≤ ±U D . Therefore, it is most likely that tunneling occurs through deep defect states localized in the depletion layer [22][23][24][25]. Several models of tunneling current in infrared photodiodes were proposed in the literature [1,20,22,23].…”

“…For instance, in the reverse-biased HgCdTe photodiodes, the soft breakdown was explained by the trap-assisted tunneling mechanism [22,23]. However, as in the case of InAs p-n junctions [25], investigated InSb junctions were found to be substantially influenced by ultrasonic treatment. So, to explain experimental results at forward and reverse biases, the model of tunneling current through dislocations was chosen [24].…”
