We report the demonstration of high-performance long-wavelength infrared (LWIR) nBnphotodetectors based on InAs/InAs1− xSbx type-II superlattices. A new saw-toothsuperlatticedesign was used to implement the electron barrier of the photodetectors. The deviceexhibited a cut-off wavelength of ∼10 μmat 77 K. The photodetector exhibited a peak responsivity of2.65 A/W, corresponding to a quantum efficiency of 43%. With an R × A of 664Ω·cm2and a dark current density of 8 × 10−5A/cm2, under −80 mV bias voltage at 77 K, the photodetector exhibited aspecific detectivity of 4.72 × 1011 cm·Hz/Wand a background–limited operating temperature of 110K
