Popis: The effect of (NH 4 ) 2 S-based chemical treatment on type-II InAs/GaSb superlattice has been investigated. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and spectroscopic ellipsometry together with the fractional derivative spectrum model have been used for surface and interface characterization. It has been shown that As 2 S 3 and In 2 S 3 compounds are created during 21% (NH 4 ) 2 S-based chemical treatment. Additionally, the reduction of leakage current of InAs/GaSb-based photodetectors has been observed. These results indicate that 21% (NH 4 ) 2 S chemical treatment seems to be a promising long term stable passivation method for InAs/GaSb superlattice-based photodetectors.
