n B n detector, an infrared detector with reduced dark current and higher operating temperature
Abstract
This letter presents a type of infrared detector named the nBn detector. The nBn design essentially eliminates Shockley-Read-Hall generation currents. The result is greatly reduced dark current and noise, compared to other midwave infrared detectors, such as p-n photodiodes. This enables the nBn to operate at background-limited infrared photodetection conditions at significantly higher temperatures than conventional midwave infrared detectors and have greater detectivity near room temperature. The nBn is demonstrated in InAs and InAsSb materials, exhibiting cutoff wavelengths of 3.4 and 4.2μm, respectively.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
