Abstract

A microchip-sized InSb photodiode based infrared sensor (InSb PDS) that operates at room temperature was developed. The InSb PDS consists of 700 photodiodes connected in series and consumes no power, because it works in photovoltaic mode to output an open-circuit voltage. The InSb PDS has a typical responsivity of 1,900 V/W and an output noise of 0.15 μV/Hz1/2. A detectivity of 2.8×108 cmHz1/2/W was obtained at 300 K. The InSb PDS has performance high enough for applications such as mobile electronic equipment, personal computers, and consumer electronics
