Abstract
pin photodiodes with a 2.3 μm absorption edge are presented, using hydride vapour phase epitaxy. A Ga1-yInyAs (y =0.72) absorption layer, lattice-mismatched to the InP substrate, was grown on an InAsxP1-x (x =0-0.33) graded composition buffer layer. Typical dark current was 5 μA (0.03 A/cm2) at -6 V. Effective carrier lifetime of 0.05 μs was estimated from I/V characteristics
