Abstract

The authors have fabricated and tested heterojunction Ge/Si photodetectors based on pure Ge epitaxially grown on Si (001) using a two-step UHV-CVD process followed by cyclic thermal annealing. The detectors exhibit responsivities as high as 550 mA/W at 1.32 µm and 250 mA/W at 1.55 µm and response times shorter than 850 ps.
