摘要
In this Letter, we report a bridge-connected three -electrode germanium-on-silicon (Ge-on-Si) avalanche pho-todiode (APD) array compatible with the complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process. In addition to the two electrodes on the Si substrate, a third electrode is designed for Ge. A single three-electrode APD was tested and analyzed. By applying a positive voltage on the Ge elec-trode, the dark current of the device can be reduced, and yet the response of the device can be increased. Under a dark current of 100 nA, as the voltage on Ge increases from 0 V to 15 V, the light responsivity is increased from 0.6 A/W to 1.17 A/W. We report, for the first time to the best of our knowl-edge, the near-infrared imaging properties of an array of three-electrode Ge-on-Si APDs. Experiments show that the device can be used for LiDAR imaging and low-light detec-tion.(c) 2023 Optica Publishing Group
