Abstract
This paper presents the performance characteristics of InP-based p-i-n photodiodes with strain-compensated and lattice-matched InGaAs/GaAsSb type-II multiple quantum well (MQW) absorption regions. The results show that photodiodes with strain-compensated and lattice-matched absorption regions have optical response out to 3.4 and 2.8 μm with dark current densities of 9.7 and 1.66 mA cm-2,respectively, at 290 K under -0.5 V reverse bias. The carrier transport mechanism responsible for the difference in responsivity and detectivity between strain-compensated and lattice-matched InGaAs/GaAsSb MQWs is discussed.
