چکیده
In this work we have investigated the performance of Schottky photodetectors based on materials nonconventionally used to detect near-infrared wavelengths. In the proposed devices the absorption mechanism is based on the internal photoemission effect. Both three-dimensional (sputtered erbium and evaporated germanium) and two-dimensional materials (graphene) have been considered and their performance compared. Our insights show that silicon Schottky photodetectors have the potentialities to play a key role in the telecommunications opening new frontiers in the field of low-cost silicon photonics. Keywords—internal photoemission effect; photodetector; Fabry-Perot; near-infrared; silicon; graphene

Waveguide based compact silicon Schottky photodetector with enhanced responsivity in the telecom spectral band.
We experimentally demonstrate an on-chip compact and simple to fabricate silicon Schottky photodetector for telecom wavelengths operating on the basis of internal photoemission process. The device is realized using CMOS compatible approach of local-oxidation of silicon, which enables the realization of the photodetector and low-loss bus photonic waveguide at the same fabrication step. The photo...
متن کاملBoosting photoresponse in silicon metal-semiconductor-metal photodetector using semiconducting quantum dots
Silicon based metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) photodetectors have faster photogeneration and carrier collection across the metal-semiconductor Schottky contacts, and CMOS integratibility compared to conventional p-n junction photodetectors. However, its operations are limited by low photogeneration, inefficient carrier-separation, and low mobility. Here, we show a simple and highly effective ap...
متن کاملA nanocomposite ultraviolet photodetector based on interfacial trap-controlled charge injection.
Ultraviolet photodetectors have applications in fields such as medicine, communications and defence, and are typically made from single-crystalline silicon, silicon carbide or gallium nitride p-n junction photodiodes. However, such inorganic photodetectors are unsuitable for certain applications because of their high cost and low responsivity (<0.2 A W(-1)). Solution-processed photodetectors ba...

In this paper, the design of a novel photodetector, working at 1.55μm and completely silicon compatible, is reported. The device is a resonant cavity enhanced (RCE) structure incorporating a silicon photodetector based on the internal photoemission effect. In order to quantify the performance of photodetector, quantum efficiency including the image force effect as a function of bias voltage are...
متن کاملSilicon-Waveguide Based Silicide Schottky- Barrier Infrared Detector for on-Chip Applications
We prove detailed analysis of a waveguide-based Schottky barrier photodetector (SBPD) where a thin silicide film is put on the top of a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) channel waveguide to absorb light propagating along the waveguide. Taking both the confinement factor of light absorption and the wall scanning induced gain of the photoexcited carriers into account, an optimized silicide thickness is...
