Abstract

The fabrication and evaluation of a p-i-n Si0.5Ge0.5 photodetectors for 1.3 μm light detection on SiGe-on-insulator (SGOI) substrates with the Ge content of 0.5 was discussed. The photoresponsivity of the fabricated p-i-n diode was measured using monochromatic DC light with a fixed power and a computer interfaced digital multimeter. The responsivity has an oscillatory structure that is due to the multiple reflections at the interface between the buried oxide and SGOI layer. The dark current density of the p-i-n diodes at the voltage of -1 V was measured to be 0.04 mA/cm 2 which is one order lower than that of Ge p-i-n diode structures grown on SiGe graded buffer layers.
