Abstract
Pseudomorphic Si1 - xGex/Si multi-quantum well p-i-n photodiodes have been grown on (110) Si by molecular beam epitaxy. Using waveguide geometry we have obtained an external quantum efficiency of 17% at 1.32 μm (TE-polarisation) with a Ge mole fraction of x = 0.5. At λ = 1.52 μm (TE-polarisation) an external quantum efficiency of 7% has been achieved. From the dependence of photocurrent on device length effective interband absorption coefficients for x = 0.5 and 0.37 have been determined quantitatively.
