We report the fabrication of mid-wave infrared (MWIR) photodetectors based on Ge0.8Sn0.2/n-Ge heterostructures grown by sputtering, achieving high Sn composition (~20%) and an almost fully strain-relaxed epitaxial layer. The sputtering process enabled deposition rates faster than 10 nm/min, supporting scalable production of thick Ge1-xSnx films. The device exhibited diode behavior with an on-off ratio >103, low dark current (0.03 A/cm2 at -1 V), and a multi-band optical response extending to 2.8 μm. Detectivity reached 3.9×109 cm·Hz1/2·W-1 at 300 K for n-Ge and 2.8×108 cm·Hz1/2·W-1 for Ge0.8Sn0.2 at 240 K, demonstrating sputtering as a high-throughput approach for MWIR sensing and imaging applications.
