Abstract :
We have fabricated high quantum efficiency, high speed, low dark-current In0.53Ga0.47As/InP p-i-n planar photodiodes Which meet the performance requirements of long-wavelength optical communications systems. The diodes employ plasma deposited SiNxas a mask to Zn diffusion. The dark-current density at 10 V is J = 5 × 10-5A/cm2with a corresponding capacitance of C = 5 × 10-9F/cm2.
