摘要：
The Auger lifetime is a critical intrinsic parameter for infrared photodetectors as it determines the longest potential minority carrier lifetime and consequently the fundamental limitations to their performance. Here, Auger recombination is characterized in a long-wave infrared InAs/InAsSb type-II superlattice. Auger coefficients as small as 7.1 X 10(-26) cm(6)/s are experimentally measured using carrier lifetime data at temperatures in the range of 20 K-80 K. The data are compared to Auger-1 coefficients predicted using a 14-band K . p electronic structure model and to coefficients calculated for HgCdTe of the same bandgap. The experimental superlattice Auger coefficients are found to be an order-of-magnitude smaller than HgCdTe. (C) 2015 AIP Publishing LLC.
