Optimization of a HOT LWIR HgCdTe Photodiode for Fast Response and High Detectivity in Zero-Bias Operation Mode

Abstract: Fast response is an important property of infrared detectors for many applications. Currently, high-temperature long-wavelength infrared HgCdTe heterostructure photodiodes exhibit subnanosecond time constants while operating under reverse bias. However, nonequilibrium devices exhibit excessive low-frequency 1/f noise that extends up to MHz range, representing a severe obstacle to their widespread application. Present efforts are focused on zero-bias operation of photodiodes. Unfortunately, the time constant of… Show more

“…To the best of our knowledge, the obtained results for the proposed photodetector are better than that of previously reported graphene based photodetectors. 1,3,29,30,33,37,39,43,[82][83][84][85][93][94][95][96][97][98][99][100][101][102][103] Table 2 summarizes the key parameters of our proposed device with other MCT and graphene based photodetectors reported earlier.…”

“…According to the calculations, the dark current in such HOT structures should be lower than in photodiodes with p-n junctions [38] and the performances at a specified temperature are better. At present, LWIR MOCVD HgCdTe-based HOT barrier structures containing p layers for high-speed detection with a single-element photodetector at a temperature of 230 K are being developed; a detectability value of 2 × 10 9 cm W -1 Hz 1/2 was obtained [6,39]. The development of HOT barrier structures for MBE HgCdTe-based photodetector arrays has not been reported in the literature yet.…”

“…In recent years the majority of low frequency noise (LFN) measurements were performed with HgCdTe [8][9][10][11] and PbS based detectors, including those using PbS colloidal quantum dots [12][13][14]. LFN in type-II InAs/GaSb superlattice PDs have also attracted considerable interest since they promise high background limited operation temperature [15][16][17][18].…”

“…On the other hand, experimental study of LFN in InAs-based heterostructure PDs have been performed only in [19] focusing mainly on forward bias regime. The lack of comprehensive LFN studies restricts the application areas of these promising devices [11].…”
