Abstract
The authors report on high-performance InGaAs metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) photodetectors for large area applications. Fe-doping was employed to obtain the high-resistivity InGaAs:Fe photoactive layer and the InP:Fe Schottky-barrier enhancement layer. The fabricated interdigitated MSM detectors have an active area of 350 /spl mu/m /spl times/ 350 /spl mu/m. At typical operating bias of 10 V, a capacitance of 1.6 pF and almost 1 GHz electrical bandwidth was achieved. The devices are very attractive for large area photoreceivers since they consume high-sensitivity and large-bandwidth operation due to low capacitive loading.ETX
