Abstract
This paper reviews the recent progress in GaNAsSb material for photonic and electronic applications. All the results and data presented in this review article are summarized from our previously published works in refs. 6-12. Photoresponsivity of 12A/W and cut-off frequency of 4.5GHz were achieved in the 1.3μm GaNAsSb based photodetector. A GaNAsSb/GaAs optical waveguide system was also demonstrated at 1.55μm. The GaNAsSb based photoconductive switch exhibits pulsed response with FWHM of 30ps and photoresponse of up to 1.6μm. The turn-on voltage of the device fabricated from GaNAsSb based HBT is ~330mV lower than that of a conventional AlGaAs/GaAs HBT.
