摘要: An innovative idea in design of sensitive quantum-dot (QD) infrared photodetector is to use a structure with QDs surrounded by repulsive potential barriers which are created due interdot doping. Spatial separation the localized ground state and continuum conducting states electron increases significantly photoelectron capture time photoconductive gain. Large value gain results high responsivity, turn improves detectivity raises device operating temperature.
