摘要

在本論文研究中，我們提出了一個可操作在830nm波段的矽-矽鍺垂直入射的雪崩光二極體。我們的元件可以藉由操作在崩潰區而最小化因N型基板所產生的擴散電流而造成的低頻roll-off的問題，同時也可以藉由衝擊離子的效應而產生高輸出頻寬。所以我們的元件可以在不使用複雜的SOI技術之下，而達到高輸出頻寬(15.3GHz)以及極高的增益頻寬積(428GHz)。

In this thesis, we demonstrate a high-performance Si–SiGe-based vertical-illuminated avalanche photodiode (APD) operating in the 830-nm wavelength regime. Under avalanche operation, the low-frequency roll-off caused by the slow diffusion current from the n+ silicon substrate can also be minimized. Also, our device can achieved high bandwidth due to impact-ionization-induced resonant effect. So, a wide bandwidth (15.3 GHz) and an extremely high gain-bandwidth (428 GHz) can be achieved simultaneously in our device without using complex silicon-on-insulator or germanium-on-insulator substrates.
