  • Abstract
    p-i-n photodiodes with ND as low as 1¿2×1015 cm¿3 in the I-region were fabricated from InGaAsP (¿=1.26 ¿m). At ¿20 V, the 2.5 ¿m I-region of the 150 ¿m diameter mesas was completely swept out, the junction capacitance was below 1 pF, the dark current was less than 0.2 nA and the external quantum efficiency was 63% without a.r. coatings.
