Özet
This study is based on the investigation of AlSb layer thickness effect on heavy-hole light-hole (HH-LH) splitting and band gap energies in a recently developed N-structure based on InAs/AlSb/GaSb type II superlattice (T2SL) p-i-n photodetector. eFirst principle calculations were carried out tailoring the band gap and HH-LH splitting energies for two possible interface transition alloys of InSb and AlAs between InAs and AlSb interfaces in the superlattice. Results show that AlSb and InAs-GaSb layer thicknesses enable to control HH-LH splitting energies to desired values for Auger recombination process where AlSb/GaSb total layer thickness is equal to InAs layers for the structures with InSb and AlAs interfaces.
