As a new-style single photon detector, quantum-dot based single photon detector has showed good performance and development potential. A style of single photon detector based on quantum-dot resonant tunneling diodes（QDRTD） was studied. The basic structure and working principle of QDRTD were introduced, and it laid stress on the analysis of interior electron transmission characteristics and I-V characteristics of QDRTD. Based on the above research, the structure of QDRTD was optimally designed, which could meet the needs of multi-wavelength single photon detection and laid the groundwork for the future studies on photon response characteristic and detection efficiency of multi- wavelength single photon detection. In addition, the study results show that QDRTD single photon detector has good characteristics in many aspects, such as photon response, dark current, wavelength choice and so on, which provides a broad application prospects.
