摘要: We report on nearly lattice-matched grown InGaN based p-i-n photodiodes detecting in the 365–500nm range with tunable peak responsivity tailored by i-layer properties. The growth of lattice matched i- and n-InGaN layer leads to improvement device performance. This approach produced zero-bias responsivities up 0.037A∕W at 426nm, corresponding 15.5% internal quantum efficiency. wavelength ranged between 416 466nm, longest reported for III-N photodiodes. effects InN content thickness photodiode properties performance are discussed.
