Abstract

Photodetectors were fabricated in a heteroepitaxial Ge-on-Si deposited by low energy plasma enhanced CVD. Dark current density of 4.6 nA/μm2, 49% quantum efficiency, and a -3 dB bandwidth of 3.5 GHz were measured at 1.3 μm wavelength and -3 V bias. Numerical simulations predict device modifications can achieve 10 Gbps (≅ 7 GHz) bandwidth.
