In this paper, we demonstrate nBn InAs/InAsSb type II superlattice (T2SL) photodetectors with AlAsSb as the barrier that targets mid-wavelength infrared (MWIR) detection. To improve operating temperature and suppress dark current, a specific Sb soaking technique was employed to improve the interface abruptness of the superlattice with device passivation using a SiO2 layer. These result in ultralow dark current density of 6.28 × 10-6 A=cm2 and 0.31 A=cm2 under -600 mV at 97 K and 297 K, respectively, which is lower than most reported InAs/InAsSb-based MWIR photodetectors. Corresponding resistance area product values of 3.20 × 104 Ω cm2 and 1.32Ω cm2 were obtained at 97 K and 297 K. A peak responsivity of 0.39 A/W with a cutoff wavelength around 5.5 μm and a peak detectivity of 2.1 × 109 cm Hz1=2=W were obtained at a high operating temperature up to 237 K.
