Figures & Tables

Fig. 1. Schematic process flow for the formation of ITO/Au/n-Si SPDs. (a) The PD areas were defined on an n-type Si substrate by ultraviolet lithography. (b) The patterned Si was sent to the electron beam evaporation chamber to grow Au film at room temperature. (c) 100 nm ITO was deposited on the Au film immediately by a double chamber magnetron sputtering system at room temperature under Ar/O2 atmosphere. (d) The ohmic contact on the backside was realized by a 300 nm Al film using electron beam evaporation.

Fig. 8. Schematic diagram of the responsivity measurement for the 2AuSPD. A 1310 nm laser with a power of 2 mW was emitted through a single-mode fiber with an inner diameter of 9 μm onto the 2AuSPD arrays. The distance between the detector and the optical fiber outlet was about 2 mm and the numerical aperture (NA) of the fiber was 0.11, leading to a spot with a diameter of 450 μm on the detector.
