Summary:We have demonstrated and analyzed very large arrays of flip-chip
bonded InGaAs/InP photodetectors, in particular paying attention to how
their series and shunt resistances affect zero-bias photocurrent and
therefore yield for spectrometer applications. Our device design results
in very low series resistance of the diode and high photocurrent
collection efficiency at zero-bias. It was shown that for an integrated
circuit array wherein attention is paid to eliminating resistance
between the flip-chip bonding pad and the feedback resistor node, the
effect of leaky diodes is nearly eliminated
