摘要

报道了128×128元InAs/GaSb Ⅱ类超晶格红外焦平面阵列探测器的研究成果.实验采用分子束外延技术在GaSb衬底上生长超晶格材料.红外吸收区结构为13 ML(InAs)/9 ML(GaSb),器件采用PIN结构,焦平面阵列光敏元大小为40 μm×40μm.通过台面形成、侧边钝化和金属电极生长,以及与读出电路互连等工艺,得到了128×128面阵长波焦平面探测器.在77 K时测试,器件的100％截止波长为8μm,峰值探测率6.0×109 cmHz1/2 W-1.经红外焦平面成像测试,探测器可得到较为清晰的成像.%In this paper, we reported the growth and fabrication of a 128 × 128 infrared focal plane array detector made of type-Ⅱ InAs/GaSb superlattice. The superlattice structure was grown on GaSb substrate using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) technology. It consisted of 200 periods of 13ML(InAs)/9ML(GaSb) for longwave infrared detection. The pixel of the detector had a conventional PIN structure with a size of 40 μm ×40 μm. The device fabrication process consisted of mesa etching, side-wall passivation, metallization and flip-chip hybridization with readout integrated circuit (ROIC). At 77 K, the detector had a 100% cut-off wavelength of 8.0 trn, and a peak detectivity of 6.0 × 109 cmHz1/2 W-1. Concept proof of infrared imaging was also demonstrated with the focal plane array at liquid nitrogen temperature.
