Abstract
We demonstrate a SiGe avalanche photodetector grown on a silicon-on-insuiator(SOI) passive waveguide. The thick SOI waveguide couples the light from an optical fiber into the SiGe detector with strain-limited thin absorption region. The detector exhibits low dark current, sharp breakdown and an external responsivity of 0.2A/W at 1.3μm.
