摘要
In this paper we present the results of study of thin oxide films: CdO, ZnO and RuSiO4 used as transparent ohmic contacts to GaSb/InGaAsSb/AlGaAsSb photodiodes. Thin oxide films with thickness of 50 nm were deposited by magnetron sputtering. CdO and RuSiO4 were formed in a reactive process in Ar-O-2 atmosphere, from Cd and Ru1Si1 targets, respectively. ZnO films were deposited directly from ZnO target by rf sputtering. We have shown that application of CdO, ZnO and RuSiO4 transparent films instead of conventional metal-based contacts enables to improve of photodiode properties. As a result, GaSb/InGaAsSb/AlGaAsSb photodiodes with detectivity D* increased by factor of 2 and reduced by factor of 3 the series resistance were obtained. (c) 2007 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
