Item Open Access Dual-color ultraviolet metal-semiconductor-metal AlGaN photodetectors(AIP Publishing LLC, 2006) Gökkavas, M.; Bütün, S.; Yu, H.; Tut, T.; Bütün, B.; Özbay, EkmelBackilluminated ultraviolet metal-semiconductor-metal photodetectors with different spectral responsivity bands were demonstrated on a single Alx Ga1-x N heterostructure. This was accomplished by the incorporation of an epitaxial filter layer and the recess etching of the surface. The 11 nm full width at half maximum (FWHM) responsivity peak of the detector that was fabricated on the as-grown surface was 0.12 AW at 310 nm with 10 V bias, whereas the 22 nm FWHM responsivity peak of the detector fabricated on the recess-etched surface was 0.1 AW at 254 nm with 25 V bias. Both detectors exhibited excellent dark current characteristics with less than 10 fA leakage current. © 2006 American Institute of Physics.Item Open Access Fabrication of high-speed resonant cavity enhanced schottky photodiodes(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 1997-05) Özbay, Ekmel; Islam, M. S.; Onat, B.; Gökkavas, M.; Aytür, O.; Tuttle, G.; Towe, E.; Henderson, R. H.; Ünlü, M. S.We report the fabrication and testing of a GaAs-based high-speed resonant cavity enhanced (RCE) Schottky photodiode. The top-illuminated RCE detector is constructed by integrating a Schottky contact, a thin absorption region (In0.8Ga0.92As) and a distributed AlAs-GaAs Bragg mirror. The Schottky contact metal serves as a high-reflectivity top mirror in the RCE detector structure. The devices were fabricated by using a microwave-compatible fabrication process. The resulting spectral photo response had a resonance around 895 nm, in good agreement with our simulations. The full-width-at-half-maximum (FWHM) was 15 nm, and the enhancement factor was in excess of 6. The photodiode had an experimental setup limited temporal response of 18 ps FWHM, corresponding to a 3-dB bandwidth of 20 GHz.
