Abstract
An infrared photo-detector and a method for manufacturing it are disclosed. The infrared photo-detector contains a collector region, a first absorber layer absorbing a first wavelength band of incident light, wherein the first absorber layer is disposed between the collector region and the incident light, a second absorber layer absorbing a second wavelength band of light, wherein the first absorber layer is disposed between the second absorber layer and the incident light, at least one first electrical contact coupled with the first absorber layer, at least one second electrical contact coupled with the second absorber layer and at least one third electrical contact coupled with the collector, wherein the at least one third electrical contact provides a current associated with absorbed light of the first wavelength band and absorbed light of the second wavelength band. The method disclosed teaches how to manufacture the infrared photo-detector.
