Abstract :
The quantum efficiency (QE) for mid-wavelength InSb infrared focal plane arrays has been numerically studied. Effects of the absorption length and thickness of p-region on device QE have been investigated. Our work shows that the optimum thickness of p-region is largely dependent on the absorption characteristics of the InSb.
