Abstract
InGaAs photodetector with linearly graded InxAl1-xAs buffer and digital graded superlattices (DGSLs) was studied by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The upgrade of the properties of photodetector has been verified in structure. Linearly graded InxAl1-xAs buffer layer effectively restrained the motion of threading dislocations (TDs). The cross-section high-resolution images proved the digital graded superlattice markedly decreased the TDs density in absorption layer. Furthermore, the DGSL structures reduced the conduction band discontinuity in heterojunction interface..
