We report on ultrafast waveguide-integrated metal-semiconductor-metal photodetectors based on low pressure metal organic chemical vapor deposition grown semiinsulating InP/InGaAs/InAlGaAs/InP layers. The vertically coupled detectors have an internal coupling efficiency of >90% at 1.3 and 1.55 μm wavelength for detector lengths of 30 μm. A 3 dB bandwidth of 65 GHz at 1.55 μm wavelength is achieved by employing 0.3 μm feature-size finger electrodes and an active layer thickness of 150 nm. Furthermore, we present results on high-performance devices with a buried waveguide structure fabricated by regrowth of InP:Fe.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
