InAs{sub x}P{sub 1-x}/InP quantum wells grown using metal organic vapor phase epitaxy are investigated for infrared detector applications. The structural parameters of the QWs are evaluated from high resolution x-ray diffraction. The electronic transition energies measured from surface photo voltage and photoconductivity confirms that these QWs can be used for fabricating IR detectors in the wide wavelength range, i.e. 0.9–1.46 µm by inter-band transitions and 7–18 µm by inter-sub-band transitions. Subsequently the functionality of one such fabricated InAs{sub x}P{sub 1-x}/InPQW detector is verified by measuring the photoluminescence of suitable semiconductor quantum well structure. At the request of all authors of the paper, and with the agreement of the Proceedings Editor, an updated version of this article was published on 24 June 2016. The original version supplied to AIP Publishing contained an error in the Figures 1 and 2 where the right side of the images were cutoff. The error has been corrected in the updated and re-published article.
