We designed a p-n InGaAs/InP heterojunction photodiode with a novel passivation approach that employs a thin and fully depleted in-device (embedded in the p-n structure) p-InP layer. We comparatively characterized mesa-type detector pixels and experimentally observed expected passivating behavior. Characterization results under illumination indicated that fully depleted p-InP layer increases photo-current as well due to increasing device active area. Dark current analysis of detector pixels with different areas resulted in a suppression of surface dark current by nearly three times.

Optimization of Mesa Structured InGaAs Based Photodiode Arrays Dolas, M. Halit; Çırçır, Kübra; Kocaman, Serdar (2017-04-13) We design lattice matched InP/In0.53Ga0.47As mesa structured heterojunction p-n photodiodes with a novel passivation methodology based on a fully depleted thin p-InP layer. Mesa-structured detectors are targeted due to their competitive advantages for applications such as multicolor/hyperspectral imaging. Test detector pixels with different perimeter/area ratios are fabricated with and without etching thin InP passivation layer between pixels in order to comparatively examine passivating behavior. I-V chara...

Improvement of light emission from Tb-doped Si-based MOS-LED using excess Si in the oxide layer Kulakci, Mustafa; Turan, Raşit (2013-05-01) The fabrication of efficient silicon-based Light Emitting Devices (LEDs) is extremely important for the integration of photonic and electronic components on the same Si platform. In this paper, we report on the room temperature electroluminescence properties of Tb-doped MOS-LED devices with an active layer of SiO2 and Si-rich SiOx produced using the magnetron co-sputtering technique. The electroluminescence properties of both types of devices were studied as a function of processing conditions and material ...

Highly Sensitive and Tunable Fano-like Rod-Type Silicon Photonic Crystal Refractive Index Sensor Kılıç, Selahattin Cem; Kocaman, Serdar (2021-01-01) IEEEA highly sensitive and tunable 2D rod-type silicon photonic crystal cavity based biosensor configuration has been designed and numerically analyzed. The structure is optimized so that the light-matter interaction is maximized in the cavity region. Out-of-plane light confinement is achieved by sandwiching the rods between metal plates, and tuning is achieved by introducing an air-gap between on top of the rods and the metal plate. A single rod is positioned in the middle of the waveguide so that the cavi...
