  • Abstract
    A back-illuminated planar embedded photodiode designed for integration into a high-bit-rate PINFET 1.2¿1.6 ¿m optical receiver has been fabricated by nonmasked LPE growth on a profiled substrate. A p-n¿-n+ structure provides low series resistance on both p- and n-sides. The electrical and optical performance is good, with a junction capacitance of 70 fF at ¿10 V.
