A layered structure used for detecting incident light includes a substrate having a surface with a high Miller index crystal orientation and a superlattice structure formed over the substrate at the surface. The superlattice structure is aligned to the high Miller index crystal orientation and exhibits a red-shifted long wave infrared response range based on the crystal orientation as compared to a superlattice structure formed over a substrate at a surface with a (100) crystal orientation.

Photodetector structures formed on high-index substrates

An optoelectronic device includes an Sb-based metamorphic photodetector grown over a silicon substrate via a buffer layer. The device includes a layered structure. The layered structure can include a silicon substrate, a buffer layer formed over the Si substrate, and an infrared photodetector formed over the buffer layer. In some embodiments, the buffer layer includes a composite buffer layer having sublayers. For example, the composite buffer layer includes a Ge-based sublayer formed over the substrate, a III-As sublayer grown over the Ge-based sublayer, and a III-Sb sublayer formed over the III-As sublayer.
