Abstract

The results of the work on the technology and characterization methods of resonant cavity enhanced (RCE) photodiode heterostructures with strained InxGa1–xAs quantum wells (0.65≤x≤0.82), designed for the 1.8 - 2 μm spectral range, are presented. The heterostructures grown on InP by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition have been investigated by high-resolution X-ray diffraction with synchrotron source, transmission electron microscopy, photoluminescence and reflectivity spectra measurements. Non-resonant photodiodes fabricated from these epitaxial structures exhibit dark current densities below 10-6 A/cm2 and quantum efficiencies above 1 % (even without bias). These quantum efficiency values are a good basis for the resonant cavity enhancement. The optical field enhancement at quantum wells has been examined in resonant heterostructures before processing.
