Abstract: This paper presents the simulation of mid-infrared InAs/GaSb superlattice (SL) detectors by using a finite element FEMLAB code, which is a practical and useful tool to characterize and to define microelectronic devices with appropriate geometry. In the framework of this FEMLAB code, the electro-optic performances of the SL photodetectors for room temperature (RT) operation are theoretical evaluated in terms of zero-bias resistance-area product R"0A and of external quantum efficiency @h in order to estimate the specific detectivity D^*. In the c...
