Abstract:

100% Ge pin-photodetectors grown on SiGe strain relaxed buffer (SRB) layers are presented, For integrated detectors the SRB layer growth as well as the subsequent SiGe photodiode technology processing must be compatible with standard CMOS technology. DC photoresponsivities of 145 mA/W at 1.3 /spl mu/m and 25 mA/W at 1.55 /spl mu/m can be achieved. In first experiments the 100% Ge pin-photodetector exhibits an RC limited 3-dB opto-electrical bandwidth of 0.9 GHz.
