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
cm2 and a Johnson-limited detectivity of 4.03×1010 cm Hz1/2 W1 operating at 77 K. Quantum efficiency measurements indicate minority carrier diffusion lengths exceeding 3 µm.
