    45-GHz bandwidth-efficiency resonant-cavity-enhanced ITO-Schottky photodiodes
    (IEEE, 2001) Bıyıklı, Necmi; Kimukin, I.; Aytür, O.; Gökkavas, M.; Ünlü, M. S.; Özbay, Ekmel
    High-speed Schottky photodiodes suffer from low efficiency mainly due to the thin absorption layers and the semitransparent Schottky-contact metals. We have designed, fabricated and characterized high-speed and high-efficiency AlGaAs-GaAs-based Schottky photodiodes using transparent indium-tin-oxide Schottky contact material and resonant cavity enhanced detector structure. The measured devices displayed resonance peaks around 820 nm with 75% maximum peak efficiency and an experimental setup limited temporal response of 11 ps pulsewidth. The resulting 45-GHz bandwidth-efficiency product obtained from these devices corresponds to the best performance reported to date for vertically illuminated Schottky photodiodes.
