High-Speed Air-Bridge Photodetectors for the Mid-IR Spectral Region

https://doi.org/10.47612/0514-7506-2023-90-1-102-108

Abstract

The uncooled air-bridge photodetectors based on InAs/InAsSbP heterostructures are presented for the mid-IR spectral region. The main difference in the air-bridge design is that a contact pad is outside the photosensitive mesa and is connected with it only by an air-bridge contact. This design makes it possible to reduce the area of the p-n junction, and, accordingly, the capacity of the device. This leads to an increase in the speed without loss in detectivity. The InAs/InAsSbP heterostructures were grown on InAs substrates with the orientation of (111) by MOCVD. The developed photodetectors had a maximum spectral sensitivity in the range of 2.8–3.1 mm and a differential resistance in zero offset of R0 = 1.0–5.6 kOhm. The capacity of the best devices was C = 3.4–3.6 pF at Urev = 0 V. The speed of the photodetector using an InGaAsP/InP laser with a wavelength of 1.55 mm was carried out. Determined by the front growth of the photoresponse, the speed is 200 ps. The developed air-bridge photodetectors can be applied to register laser pulses in the range of 1.1–3.8 mm.
