Ultra-high-speed photoconductive devices using semi-insulating layers

An ultra-high-speed photoconductive device is described which comprises a homoepitaxial semi-insulating III-V layer, or body, upon which ohmic/conductive contacts, or strips, separated by a small gap, are formed. The semi-insulating body, or layer, is produced by low temperature growth of III-V comp...

Zusammenfassung:An ultra-high-speed photoconductive device is described which comprises a homoepitaxial semi-insulating III-V layer, or body, upon which ohmic/conductive contacts, or strips, separated by a small gap, are formed. The semi-insulating body, or layer, is produced by low temperature growth of III-V compounds by MBE. In a GaAs embodiment, the layer is grown under arsenic stable growth conditions, at a substrate temperature preferably in the range of 150 DEG to about 300 DEG C.
