摘要: A very long wavelength infrared(VLWIR) focal plane array based on InAs/GaSb type-II super-lattices is demonstrated on a GaSb substrate. A hetero-structure photodiode was grown with a 50% cut-off wavelength of 15.2 μm, at 77 K. A 320×256 VLWIR focal plane array with this design was fabricated and characterized. The peak quantum efficiency without an antireflective coating was 25.74% at the reverse bias voltage of -20 mV, yielding a peak specific detectivity of 5.89×1010 cm·Hz1/2·W-1. The operability and the uniformity of response were 89% and 83.17%. The noise-equivalent temperature difference at 65 K exhibited a minimum at 21.4 mK, corresponding to an average value of 56.3 mK.
