  • Abstract
    A metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) detector on GaAs sensitive up to 1.4 μm is presented. The active layer consists of a MBE grown InGaAs/GaAs superlattice. The large size detector (2500 μm2) is defined by a simple one-level lift-off process. Despite the lattice mismatch, the detector shows a response time below 30 ps full width at half maximum at 1.3 μm and a relatively low dark current of 1 μA at 10 V bias.
