Abstract
The recent development of p-GaAs and Si homojunction interfacial workfuncti on internal photoemission (HIWIP) far-infrared (>40 mu m) detectors was bri efly reviewed, both theoretically and experimentally. The emphasis is on th e detector photoresponse mechanism and detector performance. Promising resu lts indicate that p-GaAs and Si HIWIP far-infrared detectors have great pot entiality to become a strong competitor in far-infrared applications.
