An InP-based p-i-n photodiode with optical response out to 3.4 mu m was designed and grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). One hundred pairs of 7-nm In(0.34)Ga(0.66)As/5-nm GaAs(0.25)Sb(0.75) quantum wells strain compensated to InP were used as the absorption region. The device showed a dark current density of 9.6 mA/cm(2) under -0.5-V reverse bias, a responsivity of 0.03 A/W, and a detectivity of 2.0 X 10(8) cm . Hz(1/2) . W(-1) at 3 mu m at 290 K.
