DESIGN AND PROPERTIES OF InGaAs/InGaAsP/InP AVALANCHE PHOTODIODE
نویسندگان
چکیده
An avalanche photodiode (APD) based on an InGaAs/InGaAsP/InP structure containing separated absorption, charge and multiplication layers (SACM) was designed, fabricated and tested. The InGaAsP charge layer at the heterointerface between the InGaAs absorption and InP multiplication region allows optimization of the electric field distribution and suppression of the carrier capture at the heterointerface. The design of APD structure was verified using the semiconductor device simulation software APSYS. SACM avalanche photodiodes were characterized by measuring current-voltage and capacitance-voltage curves, the speed of response and by photocurrent spectroscopy. The designed SACM APD shows responsivity of 0.85 0.9 A/W at 1310 nm for reverse bias voltage 15 V and avalanche gain up to 8 near the breakdown voltage.

TECHNOLOGY In this paper, we report a manufacturable InP DHBT technology, suitable for medium scale mixed-signal and monolithic microwave integrated circuits. The MBE grown InP-based DHBTs with an emitter area of 1 × 4 μm exhibited peak cutoff frequencies (fT and fMAX) > 300 GHz, and a breakdown voltage (BVCEo) of ~ 5 V. The InP DHBT layer structures were grown on 3” semiinsulating InP substrat...
متن کاملMonolithic germanium/silicon avalanche photodiodes with 340 GHz gain–bandwidth product
Significant progress has been made recently in demonstrating that silicon photonics is a promising technology for low-cost optical detectors, modulators and light sources1–12. It has often been assumed, however, that their performance is inferior to InP-based devices. Although this is true in most cases, one of the exceptions is the area of avalanche photodetectors, where silicon’s material pro...

The effects of CH&I, reactive ion etching (RIE) on the optical properties of an InP/InGaAs multiple-quantum-well structure have been investigated by low-temperature photoluminescence (PL). The structure consisted of eight InGaAs quantum wells, lattice matched to InP, with nominal thicknesses of 0.5, 1,2,3,5, 10,20, and 70 monolayers, respectively, on top of a 200~nm-thick layer of InGaAs for ca...
