  • Abstract
    Planar photodiodes for the 1.0¿1.3 ¿m wavelength range have been fabricated by diffusing Zn into vapour-phase epitaxial InxGa1¿xAs grown on a GaAs substrate. For compositions x=0¿0.31, the dark current and spectral response are reported. The dark-current density for x=0.17 was as low as 5.4 × 10¿6 A/cm2 at VB/2.
