InSb₀.₆As₀.₄ is a III–V semiconductor alloy composed of indium antimonide and indium arsenide in a 60:40 ratio, belonging to the narrow-bandgap III–V family. This material is engineered for infrared optoelectronic applications, particularly in the mid-to-long wavelength infrared range where its bandgap is tuned between bulk InSb and InAs. InSb₀.₆As₀.₄ is used in thermal imaging detectors, infrared focal plane arrays, and high-sensitivity photodiodes where operation in the 3–12 μm atmospheric window is critical; it offers superior carrier mobility and lower dark current compared to HgCdTe alternatives, making it attractive for space-qualified and military thermal sensing systems.
