Abstract
High quantum efficiency planar and mesa InGaAsP avalanche photodiodes have been fabricated by beryllium ion implantation. The implanted diodes, after suitable annealing, exhibited a very low dark current density of 4.0×10-6A/cm2at 10 V. The devices have 65% external quantum efficiency at 1.06µm without an anti-reflection coating and a uniform avalanche gain of 12.
