Tóm tắt

The impulse response of a heterobarrier metal-semiconductor-metal photodiode to a short laser pulse is computed and discussed in terms of the distribution of photogenerated carriers and electric fields. We show that the use of a heterobarrier structure greatly enhances the response speed of InP/GaInAs MSM-detectors.
