High-speed Si-Ge avalanche photodiodes

Abstract: High-speed optical interconnects of data centers and high performance computers (HPC) have become the rapid development direction in the field of optical communication owing to the explosive growth of market demand. Currently, optical interconnect systems are moving towards higher capacity and integration. High-sensitivity receivers with avalanche photodiodes (APDs) are paid more attention due to the capability to enhance gain bandwidth. The impact ionization coefficient ratio is one crucial parameter for aval… Show more

“…Since the photon propagation path of the surface-illuminated APD is in the same direction as the carrier multiplication path, there is a restrictive relationship between the responsivity and bandwidth [ 30 ]. Then three groups of different Ge absorption layer thicknesses (0.6 μm, 0.7 μm, 0.8 μm) were chosen for type 3 and type 4 to simulate the R p and 3-dB bandwidth f 3-dB , select the appropriate thickness to attain high-performance device.…”

“…For PDs, the detection range and performance greatly depend on the photosensitive materials. Silicon-based photodiode is a SBUV detector commonly used in commercial applications, but its further use is hindered by the small band gap (1.1–1.3 eV) which causes a high sensitivity to infrared, visible, and near-ultraviolet. , Combined with the inevitable problems of uneven shadows and a large number of noises in imaging, , exploring another material with better characteristics is needed for the development of SBUV seawater detection. β-Ga 2 O 3 is considered as a more promising alternative because of its ultrawide band gap (which is about 4.8 eV, with an absorption cutoff edge around 280 nm, essentially suitable for SBUV detection , and narrow-band response signals.…”
