  • Abstract
    InAs pn diodes were grown in wells pre-etched in GaAs substrates. Despite the large lattice mismatch of 7.2% between GaAs and InAs, good photodiode characteristics were obtained with 77 K resistance area products of 70 Omega cm2 and a peak detectivity of 1.25*1011 cm square root (Hz)/W at 2.95 mu m wavelength. GaAs MESFETs were fabricated next to the embedded detectors demonstrating for the first time the feasibility of the monolithic integration of InAs photodiodes and GaAs electronic circuits.
