摘要
The thermal stability of In0.53Ga0.47As metal-semiconductor-metal photodetectors has been improved by using thin electron-beam evaporated Al2O3 interfacial layers of different thickness. The addition of the interfacial layer allows for an increase in anneal temperature from 250-degrees-C to 350-degrees-C with a four-fold dark current increase. Measurements of impulse responses at 1.3 mum showed, that the frequency behaviour is not adversely affected by the increased capacitance caused by oxide charges, since metal-semiconductor-metal photodetectors are carrier transit-time limited.
