Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An apparatus comprises a substrate having a type of conductivity, an intrinsic region above the substrate, and a metal layer on a portion of the surface of the intrinsic region. The intrinsic region has a surface. The metal layer may have a thickness that is configured to allow a plurality of photons to pass through the metal layer into the intrinsic region and form a rectifying contact with the intrinsic region.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An optical detector comprising: a substrate having a type of conductivity; an intrinsic region above the substrate, the intrinsic region having a surface; and a first metal layer on a portion of the surface of the intrinsic region, the first metal layer having a thickness from about 50 angstroms to about 100 angstroms, and the thickness being configured to allow a plurality of photons to pass through the first metal layer into the intrinsic region and fo…
