Structural Design and Optimization of Novel Composite Cap Extended Wavelength InGaAs Infrared Detector
As with PIN structure was designed and simulated by APSYS. The long-wave cutoff wavelength was extended to 2.6 m. Three doped layers were deposited on the absorption layer
which contained P type N type
N type and by growth order. The thickness and concentration of each doped layer in cap layer were analyzed. The results show that In

As layers by growth order are determined to obtain the excellent performance. The relative spectral responsivity of the detector keeps almost the same
and dark current decreases by one magnitude compared with the PIN structure. The defect tunneling current predominates when the detector works at 120-250 K
the inter-band tunneling current dominates the dark current when the detector works at 250-300 K
and the G-R current and diffusion current dominates the dark current when the detector works above 300 K.
