Abstract:In this work, we present the monolithic integration of a TiN nanohole array and a Ge photodetector towards a CMOS compatible fabrication of a refractive index sensor in a 200 mm wafer silicon technology. We developed a technology process that enables fabrication with high yields of around 90%. Ge photodetectors with a Ge layer thickness of 450 nm and an area of 1600 µm2 (40 µm x 40 µm) show dark current densities of around 129 mA/cm2 and responsivities of 0.114 A/W measured by top illumination (TE polarization… Show more
