Long-wave infrared detectors using the type-II InAs/GaSb strained superlattice (T2SL) material system with the nBn structure were designed and fabricated. The band gap energy of the T2SL material was calculated as a function of the thickness of the InAs and GaSb layers by the Kronig-Penney model. Growth of the barrier material ($Al_{0.2}Ga_{0.8}Sb$) incorporated Te doping to reduce the dark current. The full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the $1^{st}$ satellite superlattice peak from the X-ray diffraction was around 45 arcsec. The cutoff wavelength of the fabricated device was ${\sim}10.2{\mu}m$ (0.12 eV) at 80 K while under an applied bias of -1.4 V. The measured activation energy of the device was ~0.128 eV. The dark current density was shown to be $1.0{\times}10^{-2}A/cm^2$ at 80 K and with a bias -1.5 V. The responsivity was 0.58 A/W at $7.5{\mu}m$ at 80 K and with a bias of -1.5 V.

Hot wall epitaxy법에 의하여 GaAs(100)aus 위에 ZnS-ZnSe 초격자를 성장하였다. ZnS-ZnSe 초격자의 주기는 x-선 회절 패턴에 의하여 확인되었고 이것은 변형을 고려하고 계산된 이론적인 패턴과 비교되었다. 경계면에 평행한 ZnS와 ZnSe의 변형의 비는 ZnSe에 대하여 ZnS의 두께기 증가할수록 감 소되었다. ZnS-ZnSe 초격자의 photoluminescence(PL)는 고에너지 영역의 예리한 스펙트럼과 저에너지 영역의 폭이 넓은 스펙트럼으로 구성되어있다. PL의 광자에너지는 Kronig-Penney 모델을 사용하여 계 산된 이론적인 에너지 값과 비교한 결과 type I의 초격자임을 알았다.
