摘要: Optoelectronic characteristics of the SiC1-xGex /SiC heterojunction photodiode are simulated using MEDICI after the theoretical investigation of key properties for SiC1-xGex. The calculations show that SiC1-xGex /SiC with x=0.3 may have a small lattice mismatch with 3C-SiC and a good response to the visible light and near infrared light. The response spectrum of the SiC1-xGex /SiC heterojunction photodiodes, which consists of a p-type SiC1-xGex absorption layer with a doping concentration of 1′1015cm-3, a thickness of 1.6μm and x=0.3, has a peak value of 250mA/W at 0.52μm and the peak value can even reach 102 mA/W at 0.7μm.

关键词: SiCGe/SiC, heterojunction, absorption coefficient.

Abstract: Optoelectronic characteristics of the SiC1-xGex /SiC heterojunction photodiode are simulated using MEDICI after the theoretical investigation of key properties for SiC1-xGex. The calculations show that SiC1-xGex /SiC with x=0.3 may have a small lattice mismatch with 3C-SiC and a good response to the visible light and near infrared light. The response spectrum of the SiC1-xGex /SiC heterojunction photodiodes, which consists of a p-type SiC1-xGex absorption layer with a doping concentration of $1\times10^{15}$cm-3, a thickness of 1.6μm and x=0.3, has a peak value of 250mA/W at 0.52μm and the peak value can even reach 102 mA/W at 0.7μm.

Key words: SiCGe/SiC, heterojunction, absorption coefficient.
