Abstract
We report on an investigation of dark current contributions from common microscale crystallographic defects in type-II InAs/GaInSb superlattice infrared PIN type photodiode structures grown on (100) GaSb substrates and have identified three general classifications. Defects on several wafers of varying design were examined from multiple perspectives to correlate electrical activity with structural properties, to develop the identification and classification scheme. Active defects were first identified by current density vs voltage (J-V) measurements and electron beam induced current (EBIC) scans of individual diodes with micrometer resolution. The EBIC scans were then correlated with plan-view optical and atomic force microscopy images, both before and after anisotropic etch-pit analysis using a newly developed etchant. The atomic scale structure of active and inactive defects was then compared using cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (TEM) on vertical slices of defects extracted using focused ion beam milling. Analysis of the TEM images yielded important clues as to the structure and root causes of benign and active defects, in which only significant disruptions at the epi-substrate interface appear to play a key role in producing microscale defects that efficiently promote dark current.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
