Popis: Generation?recombination processes in a narrow band gap active region of infrared photodiodes are studied theoretically and experimentally. Thanks to an analysis of the transport in InAsSb photodiodes as a function of temperature, we demonstrate that these processes can be reduced by controlling the doping of the active region. The first Auger-dominated detector in this spectral range is shown, with negligible diffusion and SRH generation?recombination processes. This leads to the highest detectivity ever reported for a high-temperature antimonide-based detector in this spectral range: D* = 2.5 ? 1010 cm Hz1/2 W?1 at 250 K and 1.3 ? 1011 cm Hz1/2 W?1 at 180 K and ? = 3.39 ?m.
