Abstract
A novel infrared photodetector - the quantum-dot infrared phototransis tor - based on a multiple quantum dot structure is considered theoreti cally. An analytical model of the device is developed to evaluate its performance. The dark current and sensitivity are calculated. It is sh own that the quantum-dot infrared phototransistor performance can surp ass that of the quantum-well photodetectors.
