We have performed a comprehensive investigation of n-type quantum dot infrared photodetectors (QDIPs) based on InAs/GaAs epitaxical island quantum dots (QDs) grown via the innovative punctuated island growth technique. The structural properties of the QDs were investigated with cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. The electronic properties of the QDs inserted in QDIP devices were investigated with photoluminescence (PL), PL excitation, and intra- and inter-band photocurrent spectroscopy. The influence of AlGaAs layers inserted into the QDIP active regions on the performance of dark current and inter- and intra-band photocurrent was examined. Initial results on intra-band responsivity and detectivity of these QDIPs at 77 K with undoped active region show promise for application. (C) 2001 American Institute of Physics.
