Effect of sulfur passivation and polyimide capping on InGaAs-InP PIN photodetectors.

It is shown in this work that sulfur passivation followed by a deionized water rinse reduces the dark current of InGaAs-InP PIN photodetectors significantly. This reduction in dark current is shown to be due to reduced recombination at the exposed mesa surface. Detectors with polyimide capping after...
