Abstract

In strained Sia−xGex heterojunction internal photoemission (HIP) photodiodes the spectral response can be tailored over a wide wavelength range by varying the Ge content. In this paper heavily in situ boron doped SiGe layers with 30% Ge were grown by low pressure rapid thermal chemical vapour deposition (LP(RT)CVD). The detectors exhibit a cut-off wavelength of 8.5 μm. A delta-like P peak, incorporated by atomic layer deposition technique, shifts the cut-off to shorter wavelengths. This shift is related to an increase of the barrier height at the SiGe/Si interface caused by the narrow n+-doped layer in agreement with device simulation. In this way the trade off between critical film thickness for high Ge content film growth and absorption depth for proper detector response can be overcome.
