Abstract
A novel top-illuminated In 0.53 Ga 0.47 As p-i-n photodiodes (MM-PINPD) grown on GaAs substrate by using linearly graded metamorphic In x Ga 1-x P (x graded from 0.49 to 1) buffer layer is reported. The dark current, optical responsivities, noise equivalent power, and operational bandwidth of the MM-PINPD with aperture diameter of 60 μm are 13 pA, 0.6 A/W, 3.4 × 10 -15 W/Hz 1/2 , and 7.5 GHz, respectively, at 1550 nm. The performances of the MM-PINPD on GaAs are demonstrated to be comparable to those of a similar device made on InGaAs-InP substrate.
