Zusammenfassung:We report a 20-layer In x Ga 1 − x As ∕ In 0.52 Al 0.24 Ga 0.24 As quantum wire infrared photodetector grown on (001)-axis InP substrate by molecular beam epitaxy. High density InGaAs quantum wires were formed, utilizing the strained-induced lateral-layer ordering process by growing a strain-balanced ( Ga As ) 1.80 ∕ ( In As ) 2.35 short-period superlattice. This device shows a unique polarized photoresponse which favors the normal-incident infrared radiation polarizing perpendicular to the wire orientation. The photoresponse at 6.3 μ m exhibited a peak detectivity of 3.13 × 10 9 cm Hz 1 ∕ 2 ∕ W at 10 K .
