A superlattice GaAs/InGaAs-on-GaAs photodetector for 1.3-mu mapplications

A metal-semiconductor-metal detector with a InGaAs/GaAs superlattice active layer showing efficient photoresponse up to 1.35 mum is discussed. The active layer with an In composition of approximately 64% is grown by molecular beam epitaxy on a GaAs substrate at 460 deg C. The large size detector (20...

Zusammenfassung:A metal-semiconductor-metal detector with a InGaAs/GaAs superlattice active layer showing efficient photoresponse up to 1.35 mum is discussed. The active layer with an In composition of approximately 64% is grown by molecular beam epitaxy on a GaAs substrate at 460 deg C. The large size detector (200x200 mum(2)) shows bias-dependent DC gain, fast response speed (FWHM < 50 ps), and reasonably low dark current
