  • Patent number: 8395106
    Abstract: An optical semiconductor device includes a lower electrode layer formed over a semiconductor substrate, an infrared absorption layer formed over the lower electrode layer 26, and an upper electrode layer 38 formed over the infrared absorption layer 36. The infrared absorption layer includes a quantum dot having dimensions different among directions stacked, and is sensitive to infrared radiation of wavelengths different corresponding to polarization directions.

  • Patent number: 8373155
    Abstract: An infrared photodetector including a layer structure of an intermediate layer, and a quantum dot layer having a narrower band gap than the intermediate layer and including a plurality of quantum dots alternately stacked, and detecting photocurrent generated when infrared radiation is applied to the layer structure to thereby detect the infrared radiation, the infrared photodetector further including a first barrier layer provided on one side of the quantum dot layer and having a larger band gap than the intermediate layer; and a second barrier layer provided on the other side of the quantum dot layer and having a larger band gap than the intermediate layer.

  • Patent number: 8076740
    Abstract: A photo detector is provided with a plurality of quantum dot layers and first conductive type contact layers provided at both sides of the plurality of quantum dot layers so as to sandwich them; a second conductive type impurity is doped in a first semiconductor layer formed between one first conductive type contact layer and a first quantum dot layer which is closest to the one first conductive type contact layer so that it results in a barrier against a carrier positioned at the one first conductive contact layer.
