Abstract:
We demonstrated a lateral Ge/Si avalanche photodetector with a record ultrahigh gain-band-width product of 3036 GHz. A PN-type multiplication region was introduced for achieving the nonuniform electric field distribution. The device exhibits a bandwidth of 33 GHz and a gain of 92 under -24 dBm optical power.
