Popis: InAlGaAs photodiodes with 50% cut-off wavelength of 1.41 μm at room temperature have been grown by using gas source MBE with convenient and reliable procedure, and the performances have been characterized in detail. The InAlGaAs absorption layer shows a mismatch of −8×10 −5 to the InP substrate with a full width at half maximum of around 20 arcs. Dark current of 247 pA at reverse bias of 10 mV and zero bias resistance of 41 M Ω has been measured for the devices at room temperature with 200 μm mesa diameter. The dark current of this InAlGaAs photodetector is about 20 times lower than the In 0.53 Ga 0.47 As photodetector with similar structure processed at the same time.
