Abstract
In this paper, the noise equivalent bandwidth (NEB) of a Ge-on-Si Resonant Cavity Encapsulated Schottky Photodetector has been calculated. The calculation has been done considering the trapping of carriers at the Si/Ge heterointerfaces. The noise Results show that the effect of interface trapping of holes plays a significant role on the noise equivalent bandwidth of the photodetector at low-bias.
