Abstract
InP- and GaAs-based metamorphic In0.83Ga0.17As photodetectors were grown and investigated. Compared to InP-based photodetector, the dark current of GaAs-based photodetector at room temperature increased 2–3 times but still comparable, whereas at 77K the dark current increased 2–3 orders. The deep-level transient spectroscopy results reveal that a deep level trap state exists in the GaAs-based photodetector structure. The higher dark current in GaAs-based photodetector at low temperature was mainly ascribed to a deep level trap induced tunneling current. The deep trap centers can also induce non-radiative recombination with smaller thermal active energy in the GaAs-based photodetector structure.
