Abstract
A two-dimensional self-consistent time-dependent simulation technique has been used
to investigate electron-hole transport processes in the active region of metal-
semiconductor-metal photodiode structurcs (MSM-PD) and to analyse their high-speed
response [1, 2]. Ge and SiGe are promising materials for optoelectronic devices
compatible with standard and well developed Si technology [3, 4]. The sensitive
volumes are 270 nm thick Ge film, grown on Si. Interdigitated Cr metal top electrodes
with 1.5–5 µm spacing and identical finger width form Schottky contacts on the Ge film
[2]. Monte Carlo simulation is a useful means of simulating the behavior of small
semiconductor devices. Unlike conventional (Drift Diffusion) simulation methods, the
Monte Carlo method provides an essentially exact solution of the Boltzmann transport
equation and is prone only to statistical errors [5]. Due to the shorter carrier drift length,
these devices are even faster, with a pulse response of 9.4 ps FWHM at 1550 nm, but
have a lower overall quantum efficiency of 0.9% [2].
