Along this direction, we present here an accurate investigation of photodetectors based on AlGaAs/GaAs heterojunction structures. In these devices, the absorption region is in the GaAs layer where is formed, at the interface with AlGaAs, a two-dimensional electron gas (2-DEG). This HMSM (heterostructure metal-semiconductor-metal) photodetector contains an AlGaAs distributed Bragg reflector for detection at 850 nm. The beneficial effect of the 2-DEG in the GaAs absorption layer is evidenced by comparing samples with and without doping in the AlGaAs layer. We start from properties of the grown structure, and then we investigate the static and dynamic properties. Particularly, photocurrent spectra exhibit a 30 nm wide peak at 850 nm, while time response measurements give a bandwidth over 30 GHz. A combination of very low dark current and capacitance, fast response, wavelength selectivity, and compatibility with high electron mobility transistors makes this device especially suitable for Gigabit Ethernet applications.","PeriodicalId":156662,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2003 SBMO/IEEE MTT-S International Microwave and Optoelectronics Conference - IMOC 2003.
