Contribution of Series Resistance in Modelling of High-Temperature Type II Superlattice p-i-n Photodiodes

الملخص EN

We analyze some of the consequences of omitting series resistance in InAs/GaSb p-i-n T2SL photodiode dark current modelling, using simplified p-n junction model.

Our considerations are limited to generation-recombination and diffusion-effective carrier lifetimes to show the possible scale of over- or underestimating photodiodes parameters in high-temperature region.

As is shown, incorrect series resistance value might cause discrepancies in τgr and τdiff's estimations over one order of magnitude.
