摘要
We have studied the performance of a Quantum Confined Stark Effect (QCSE) dominated resonant cavity enhanced (RCE) Heterobipolar Phototransistor (HPT) using an absorption layer of Ge0.992Sn0.008 QW with Si0.3Ge0.61Sn0.09 barrier between base and collector. Further the QW is replaced by bulk GeSn so that Franz-Keldysh Effect (FKE) becomes predominant. Main analysis was concentrated on finding the Quantum Efficiency (QE), Responsivity of RCE-HPT. Finally the Optical gain, Gain-Bandwidth product are estimated and compared with the structure without resonant cavity.
