Liquid phase epitaxy of indium antimonide for high-performance infrared detectors

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

InSb has served as an important midwave (λ = 3–5-μm) IR detector material for several decades. Until recently, the only detector quality material available was LEC grown bulk form; the minority carrier lifetimes in this LEC material restricted detector use to operating temperatures ranging from 70 to 90 K to ensure adequate performance. LPE grown InSb epilayers have minority carrier lifetimes up to 2 orders of magnitude greater than those found in the best available bulk and permit system designers to trade off potential higher performance with elevated operating temperatures.
