  • Abstract
    InP-Ga0.47In0.53As-InP metal-semiconductor-metal photodetectors grown with an additional barrier enhancement layer of Al0.1In0.9P exhibited a reduction of leakage current and an increase in breakdown voltage. The devices had a DC responsivity of 0.32 A/W and an intrinsic response faster than 74 ps at 1.3 μm
