  • Abstract
    Phototransistors based on InP/GaAsSb/InGaAs heterostructures were fabricated and characterized. The fabricated devices with 50-mum diameter exhibited very high optical gain of 154 as well as very low dark current of 17.5 nA, which are promising for highly sensitive photodetection at 1.55 mum optical wavelength.
