Popis: We report the growth of a staircase solid state photomultiplier structure. The device is obtained by a combination of ternary AlGaSb and quaternary GaInAsSb graded layers epitaxied on GaSb substrates, using molecular beam epitaxy. The different layers used in the structures have been individually optimized for their electrical and optical quality. A multiplication coefficient of 7, without excess noise, is estimated on a six-step device, for a maximum voltage of only 15 V.
