Abstract

The authors report the growth of quantum well infrared photodetectors (QWIPs) made from wide band gap II-VI semiconductors. ZnCdSe/ZnCdMgSe QWIPs in both medium-wave infrared and long-wave infrared regions were grown by molecular beam epitaxy on InP substrates. High-resolution x-ray diffraction and photoluminescence measurements showed that the as-grown samples have high structural and optical quality. Spectral responses with peaks at 8.7 μm and 4.0 μm have been obtained.
