High-performance infrared p-i-n photodetectors based on InAs/InAsSb/AlAsSb superlattices on GaSb substrate have been demonstrated at 300K. These photodetectors exhibit 50% and 100% cut-off wavelength of ∼3.2 µm and ∼3.5 µm, respectively. Under -130 mV bias voltage, the device exhibits a peak responsivity of 0.56 A/W, corresponding to a quantum efficiency (QE) of 28%. The dark current density at 0 mV and -130 mV bias voltage are 8.17 × 10 -2 A/cm 2 and 5.02 × 10 -1 A/cm 2 , respectively. The device exhibits a saturated dark current shot noise limited specific detectivity (D*) of 3.43 × 10 9 cm·Hz 1/2 /W (at a peak responsivity of 2.5 µm) under -130 mV of applied bias.
