Recent progress of III–V quantum dot infrared photodetectors on silicon

Abstract: Heterogeneous integration of III–V quantum dots on Si substrates for infrared photodetection is reviewed, focusing on direct epitaxial growth and bonding techniques over the last few years.

“…[ 4–6 ] Currently, GaN, Si, InGaAs, and other semiconductors have dominated the ultraviolet to near‐infrared photodetection market. [ 7–10 ] These detectors are mostly assembled on rigid substrates and usually require relatively thick active materials for photonic detection, therefore, they are not compatible with flexible systems or suitable for low cost manufacturing.…”

“…In order to characterize the performance of photodetectors and compare different kinds of PD, some key figure-of-merit parameters are typically used. The main ones are summarized below [ 25 , 26 ]: Quantum efficiency (QE) : is the number of carriers (electrons or holes) generated per photon of a given energy. There are two types of QE: Internal quantum efficiency (IQE) that represents the number of charge carriers collected by the PD to the number of absorbed photons of a given energy, and external quantum efficiency (EQE) that is the number of charge carriers collected by the PD to the number of incident photons of a given energy.…”

“…As well know, the interaction between light and matter strongly depends by the photon energy and the band structure of the material constituent the photodetector. Then, effects of the light-matter interaction exploited for the photon-carrier transduction in PDs are summarized as following [ 25 , 26 , 27 ]: Photoemission or photoelectric effect : Energy of photons supplies exactly the energy gap from the conduction band to free electrons, increasing the mobility of electrons. Thermal effect : Energy of photons supplies to mid-gap transition states then an electron decay back to lower bands, generating phonon and thus heat.…”

“…For instance, SAQD-based devices help achieve single-electron charge sensing [ 12 ], entanglement between spins and photons [ 13 , 14 ], single-photon sources [ 15 ], or single-spin [ 16 ], and help also the control of Cooper pair splitting [ 17 ], spin transport [ 18 ], spin–orbit interaction [ 19 ], g -factor [ 20 ], and Kondo effect [ 21 ]. On the other hand, SAQD technologies allow for manufacturing high density of QDs, which are crucial for implementing opto-electronic devices such as QD-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) [ 22 ], QD-memories [ 4 , 23 ], QD-lasers [ 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 ], QD-infrared photodetectors [ 8 , 28 , 29 ], and QD-solar cells [ 30 ]. A key point in these devices is that the position of carrier level(s) can be tuned by controlling the dot size [ 2 ], and, this, by modifying the growth conditions [ 6 , 10 , 11 , 31 ].…”
