摘要: Germanium (Ge) vertical p-i-n photodetectors were demonstrated with an ultra-low dark current of 0.57 mA/cm2 at −1 V. A germanium-on-insulator (GOI) platform a 200-mm wafer scale was realized for photodetector fabrication via direct bonding and layer transfer techniques, followed by oxygen annealing in finance. thin germanium-oxide (GeOx) formed on the sidewall ozone oxidation to suppress surface leakage current. The responsivity annealed GOI revealed be 0.42 0.28 A/W 1,500 1,550 nm V, respectively. characteristics are investigated comparison SiO2 passivation. is reduced factor 10 oxidation. 3dB bandwidth 1.72 GHz V GeOx surface-passivated enhanced approximately 2 times compared one photodetectors. theoretically expected further enhance ∼70 5 µm mesa diameter.
