    摘要: In an electron-injection type APD, it is necessary to prevent a dark current increase and to secure the life time of the device. It is demanded to improve reliability of the APD with a lower production cost. With the InP buffer layer having an n-type doping region on the inside of a region defined by an optical absorption layer, a predetermined doping profile is achieved by ion implantation. Thus, electric field concentration in the avalanche multiplication layer is relaxed. Furthermore, a low-concentration second optical absorption layer is provided between the optical absorption layer and the avalanche multiplication layer. Responsivity of the optical absorption layer is maximized, and depletion of the lateral surface of the optical absorption layer is prevented; thus, electric field concentration is prevented. Preventing edge breakdown, the device improves its reliability.

    摘要: A layer in which the potential level difference normally unrequired for device operation is generated is positively inserted in a device structure. The potential level difference has such a function that even if a semiconductor having a small bandgap is exposed on a mesa side surface, a potential drop amount of the portion is suppressed, and a leakage current inconvenient for device operation can be reduced. This effect can be commonly obtained for a heterostructure bipolar transistor, a photodiode, an electroabsorption modulator, and so on. In the photodiode, since the leakage current is alleviated, the device size can be reduced, so that in addition to improvement of operating speed with a reduction in series resistance, it is advantageous that the device can be densely disposed in an array.

    摘要: The present invention is intended to provide a compact and simple optical semiconductor device that reduces crosstalk (leakage current) between light receiving elements. According to the present invention, since a back surface electrode is a mirror-like thin film, crosstalk to an adjacent light receiving element can be suppressed, thereby reducing a detection error of a light intensity. By disposing a patterned back surface electrode or by disposing an ohmic electrode at the bottom of an insulating film over the whole back surface, contact resistance on the back surface can be reduced. By using the optical semiconductor elements with a two-dimensional arrangement and by using a mirror-like thin film as the back surface electrode, crosstalk can be reduced. By accommodating the optical semiconductor elements in the housing in a highly hermetic condition, the optical semiconductor elements can be protected from an external environment.
