Abstract :
Wafer fused planar Si/InGaAs p-i-n photodetectors were fabricated. They show high internal quantum efficiency (η≈1), high speed (21 GHz), record low dark current (100 pA at 4 V bias), and no evidence of charge trapping, recombination centers or a bandgap discontinuity at the heterointerface
