Comparative studies on the stability of polymer versus SiO2 gate dielectrics for pentacene thin-film transistors
The authors report on the electrical reliabilities of poly-4-vinyl phenol (PVP) and SiO2 gate dielectrics for pentacene thin-film transistors (TFTs). SiO2 films were grown by dry oxidation and PVP fil...

Type-II InAs/GaSb superlattice photodiodes with a 50% cutoff wavelength ranging from 11  to  13  µm are presented. Optimization of diffusion limited photodiodes provided superlattice structures for improved injection efficiency in direct injection hybrid focal plane array applications. Photodiodes with a cutoff wavelength of 12.9  µm exhibit an R0A of ~7  Omega  cm2 and a Johnson-limited detectivity of 4.03×1010  cm  Hz1/2  W–1 operating at 77  K. Quantum efficiency measurements indicate minority carrier diffusion lengths exceeding 3  µm. ©2006 American Institute of Physics
