Drift dominated InP/GaP photodiodes

چکیده
We present InP photodiodes fabricated on GaP substrate with unique drift dominated design, which can build an electric field throughout the active region by varying the doping concentration. The InP/GaP photodiodes have been grown, processed and characterized. The excellent spectral response, higher than 75% internal quantum efficiency in UV and visible range, demonstrates the robustness of our drift dominated devices and superior performance with even relatively low quality material. 2004 Elsevier Ltd.

2 μm wavelength range InP-based type-II quantum well photodiodes heterogeneously integrated on silicon photonic integrated circuits.
The heterogeneous integration of InP-based type-II quantum well photodiodes on silicon photonic integrated circuits for the 2 µm wavelength range is presented. A responsivity of 1.2 A/W at a wavelength of 2.32 µm and 0.6 A/W at 2.4 µm wavelength is demonstrated. The photodiodes have a dark current of 12 nA at -0.5 V at room temperature. The absorbing active region of the integrated photodiodes ...

A high performance InP/InGaAs SHBT technology will be presented. InP SHBT is advantageous in terms of low-cost monolithic integration with photodiodes for high-speed optical receiver frontend applications. We will demonstrate that, through optimized CAD geometries, the fabricated HBTs showed uniform and improved device performance. Our best results show that an fT of over 160 GHz and fmax of gr...
متن کاملPerformance of InGaAs/InP Avalanche Photodiodes as Gated-Mode Photon Counters.
We investigate the performance of separate absorption multiplication InGaAs/InP avalanche photodiodes as single-photon detectors for 1.3- and 1.55-mum wavelengths. First we study afterpulses and choose experimental conditions to limit this effect. Then we compare the InGaAs/InP detector with a germanium avalanche photodiode; the former shows a lower dark-count rate. The effect of operating temp...
