| Abstract | We have fabricated and characterized ultrafast metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) photodetectors with recessed electrodes, based on low-temperature-grown GaAs. The new recessed-electrode MSM geometry led to an improved electric-field distribution inside the photodetector structure and resulted in a 25% breakdown voltage and sensitivity increase with simultaneous four-fold reduction of capacitance, as compared to the identical MSM devices with planar electrodes. Time-resolved studies performed using 100-fs-duration laser pulses showed that recessed-electrode MSMs exhibited 1.0-ps-wide photoresponse transients with no slow after-pulse tails and their photoresponse time was 0.9 ps. The improved transient photoresponse parameters are the main advantages of the recessed-electrode geometry. |
