High-speed InGaAs photodetectors with low dark current selectively grown on SOI substrate

We report selective growth of high crystalline quality InGaAs photodetectors (PDs) with optimized InP/GaAs buffers on patterned SOI substrates by MOCVD. Both waveguide and normal-incidence PDs show low dark current and high-speed performance.
