Abstract

In this paper, we proposed and designed the high speed uni-traveling carrier photodiodes operating beyond 2 μm. InGaAs/GaAsSb type-II multiple quantum wells (MQWs) were used as the absorption region of uni-traveling carrier photodiode to have optical response beyond 2 μm. A rate equation model was developed to study the bandwidth characteristics of this photodiode. The carrier dynamics of the carrier sweeping out process was discussed, and the structure parameters of the quantum wells were optimized. Result shows a 3-dB bandwidth over 40 GHz can be achieved with the optimized design. We also studied the feasibility of dual depletion PIN (DD-PIN) photodiode with MQWs absorber. The optimized DD-PIN photodiode could achieve similar bandwidth under relatively high-bias condition.
