Sh. Hsu et al., INGAAS INP PIN PHOTODIODE ARRAYS ON ALGAAS/GAAS WAVE-GUIDE FILMS BY SOLID SOURCE MOLECULAR-BEAM EPITAXY/, Electronics Letters, 33(13), 1997, pp. 1171-1173
The first solid-source molecular beam epitaxial growth of infrared-sen
sitive In0.53Ga0.47As on top of an AlGaAs/GaAs waveguide for monolithi
c 1.55 mu m receiver applications has been demonstrated using a single
, thin InP buffer layer to suppress dislocations. Mesa-type detector a
rrays were made by chemically assisted ion beam etching. Using a novel
dense array fabrication technique, the integration of InGaAs optoelec
tronic devices with AlGaAs/GaAs waveguide films grown on a GaAs substr
ate has been demonstrated.
