The authors report the dependence of the quantum efficiency on beryllium concentration in the active region of type-II InAs/GaSb superlattice infrared detector with a cutoff wavelength around 21 mu m. It is found that the quantum efficiency and responsivity show a clear delineation in comparison to the doping concentration. The quantum efficiency is further improved by gradually doping in the absorbing region. At 77 K, the 50% cutoff wavelength of the VLWIR detector is 18 mu m, and the R(0)A is kept at a stable value of 6 Omega cm(2). Different beryllium concentration leads to an increase of an average quantum efficiency in the 8-15 mu m window from 35% to 55% with a pi-region thickness of 3.0 mu m, for U-bias = -0.3 V, and no anti-reflection coating. As for a further result, the quantum efficiency reaches at a maximum value of 66% by gradually doping in the absorbing region with the peak detectivity of 3.33 x 10(10) cm Hz(1/2)/W at 15 mu m.
