  • Abstract
    By means of 0.25 mum, 0.4 mum and 0.5 mum-thick i-GaN layers, we have successfully proved the reliability of nitride-based p-i-n photodetectors (PDs) was highly sensitive to the thickness of intrinsic GaN layers. After current aging, the p-i-n PDs with thin i-layer exhibited a poor electrical strength.
