Özet
The article discusses the simulation of an nBn-InGaAs photodetector using Silvaco TCAD at 300 K, focusing on optimizing the barrier performance and reducing the valence band offset. It explores the device-s electrical and optical behaviors, including dark current, photocurrent, and capacitance. The results show a peak responsivity of 0.91 A/W at 1.55 μm and a junction capacitance of 9 pF at -5 V. Adding an anti-reflection coating notably improved the optical performance, highlighting the structure-s potential for efficient infrared photodetection.
