Abstract

We have fabricated the first CMOS process compatible high-responsivity Ge p-i-n diodes for 1.55 μm wavelengths. The thermal expansion mismatch between Ge epilayers and Si substrates was used to engineer tensile strain upon cooling from the growth temperature. This 0.2% tensile strain results in a lowering of the direct transition energy in Ge by 30 meV and extends the responsivity curve to near 1.6μm.
