Description

Metal-semiconductor-metal photodetectors on semi-insulating InP:Fe with a lateral planar structure have been fabricated. The detectors exhibit low dark currents of about 10 nA, an impulse response of 26 ps FWHM, and an internal quantum efficiency of 80%, all at 10 V bias. An electrical cut off frequency of 40 GHz for the packaged detectors is obtained from s-parameter measurements demonstrating that the response time is not limited by the parasitic elements of the devices
