Germanium p-i-n avalanche photodetector fabricated by point defect healing process
In this Letter, we report Ge p-i-n avalanche photodetectors (APD) with low dark current (sub 1 μA below VR=5 V), low operating voltage (avalanche breakdown voltage=8–13 V), and high multiplication gain (440–680) by exploiting a point defect healing method (between 600°C and 650°C) and optimizing t...
