Comparison of dark current density for GeSn photodetectors at a reverse bias of 1 V in different groups.[1528] Different colors of the icons represent the different growth methods of GeSn alloy, red, purple, and blue refer to the growth methods of MBE, magnetron sputtering epitaxy, and CVD, respectively. Solid or hollow icons refer to the GeSn materials grown on Si substrate or on Ge substrate, on which devices were fabricated.
