| Abstract |
| | In this paper we consider the problem of research and development of the high-speed semiconductor photodetectors. They are designed for the operation as parts of integrated optical commutation systems together with the lasers-modulators based on AIIIBV nanoheterostructures. We have developed physical and topological diffusion-drift models, modelling methods, and applied software for the research of transient processes in GaAs p-i-n structures and Schottky-barrier photodiodes of on-chip optical commutation systems. The dependence of charge carriers mobilities on the electric field intensity has been taken into account for the improvement of adequacy and accuracy of simulation results in this work. This dependence is determined by the effects of intervalley transition of electrons and saturation of charge carriers drift velocities in GaAs. We have obtained the results of the simulation of optical transient processes caused by the illumination of photodetectors structures by subpicosecond laser pulses. According to these results, the influence of considered physical effects on the performance of integrated AIIIBV photodetectors is significant and it should be taken into account during the simulation of such devices. |
