Title: Absorption enhancement in vertically illuminated high-speed Si-based photodiodes with photon-trapping hole arrays

Abstract: Low cost monolithically integrated photodiodes on silicon (Si) with high efficiency and high speed are highly desirable in optical communication, signal measurement and other fields. It is difficult for a traditional Si photodiode used predominantly in the visible wavelength regime to meet the requirements both on high efficiency and high speed at near-infrared wavelengths. Therefore, the absorption of the intrinsic layer needs to be effectively enhanced without increasing the thickness. In this work, a Si film based photodetector integrated with periodic photon-trapping holes is proposed, which can ensure ultra-fast response speed and significantly enhance the absorption of near-infrared light. Using both theoretical and experimental approach, the authors investigate the effects of hole shape, substrate, hole diameter and period on light trapping and absorption enhancement in the photodiodes. High speed (FWHM < 30 ps) and high efficiency (EQE > 60%) Si based infrared detector is realized. More than 500% enhancement of EQE is achieved compared to a photodiode in the absence of photon-trapping hole structures.
