摘要: A new hot‐electron transistor for 10 μm infrared radiation detection is presented and discussed. The device utilizes an sensitive GaAs/AlGaAs multiple quantum well structure as emitter, a wide base, thick barrier placed in front of the collector electron energy high pass filter. filter selectively permits higher photocurrent to collector; lower dark current rejected by filter, drained through base. detectivity, noted measurements, much enhanced comparison with companion photoconductive devices.
