Quantum-Dot/Quantum-Well Mixed-Mode Infrared Photodetectors
Assistant Research Fellow Shih-Yen Lin
and
Postdoctoral Research Fellow Shu-Ting Chou
(Research Center for
Applied Sciences)
GaAs/AlGaAs
quantum-well infrared photodetectors (QWIPs) have attracted intensive attention
since 1980s. Due to the possible bandgap engineering for the GaAs/AlGaAs
materials, various kinds of GaAs/AlGaAs QWIPs have been developed. The detection
wavelengths of the QWIPs could extend from 6 to 25 mm.
Single-color, multi-color and voltage-tunable multi-color QWIPs have been
successfully developed. Due to that GaAs and AlGaAs materials are
lattice-matched, high-quality epi-wafers could be obtained either by molecular
beam epitaxy (MBE) or metal-organic chemical vapor-phase deposition (MOCVD)
techniques.
