Dynamics of avalanche quantum dot infrared photodetectors
چکیده
Abstract
Time and frequency response of an avalanche quantum dot infrared photodetector (A-QDIP) operating at long infrared (IR) wavelengths is calculated and the effect of its structure on the dynamic behavior is studied. For this purpose, the rate equations of different regions are numerically solved considering the boundary conditions. Results show that detector with long multiplication region has a slower time response. Also frequency analysis predicts a 3-dB bandwidth above 100 GHz for a device with multi-plication length of 200 nm. Gain bandwidth product (GBP) is calculated and a value of about 1000 GHz is obtained. Effect of charge layer doping on dynamic response of detector is also studied and results show that increase in doping improves the GBP while the bandwidth is reduced. We also study the effect of quantum dots of absorption region on frequency response of device and results show that longer electron relaxation time into quantum dot decreases the bandwidth of detector.
