Abstract
This paper reports the planar-structure InAlGaAs-InAlAs superlattice
avalanche photodiodes (SL-APDs) with a Ti-implanted guard-ring,which were
developed for a compact and high-sensitivity 10-Gb/s optical receiver
application. The design and fabrication of the novel concept planar-structure
including the Ti-implanted guard-ring are described. The characteristics of
the planar APDs are 0.36 µA dark current at a multiplication factor of
10, 67% quantum efficiency, 110-GHz gain-bandwidth (GB) product, 15-GHz
top-bandwidth, and -27.2-dBm sensitivity at 10 Gb/s. The reliability was
preliminary tested and the lifetime of longer than 107 h at 50°C was
estimated. The dark current characteristics including its temperature
dependence and the excess noise characteristics are also analyzed. All the
obtained characteristics exhibit the practical availability of the planar
SL-APDs in the 10-Gb/s trunk line optical receiver uses.
