GeSn p-i-n waveguide photodetectors on silicon substrates

Abstract

We report an investigation on GeSn p-i-n waveguide photodetectors grown on a Ge-buffered Si wafer. In comparison with a reference Ge detector, the GeSn detector shows an enhanced responsivity in the measured energy range, mainly attributed to the smaller bandgap caused by Sn-alloying. Analysis of the quantum efficiency indicates that increasing the Sn content in the active layers can significantly shorten the required device length to achieve the maximum efficiency. The present investigation demonstrates the planar photodetectors desired for monolithic integration with electronic devices.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The WG-QDPD outperforms monolithically grown GeSn (responsivity < 0.52 A/W and dark current > 1 mA).

    “Notably, these results are on par with the best-performing bonded III-V photodetectors reported in the literature (responsivity 0.4-1.4 A/W around 2.3 μ m and dark current 10 nA-2.5 μ A), 6-9 outperforming monolithically grown GeSn (responsivity &lt; 0.52 A/W and dark current &gt; 1 mA). 13-16”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
