  • Patent number: 6074892
    Abstract: By using wafer fusion, various structures for photodetectors and photodetectors integrated with other electronics can be achieved. The use of silicon as a multiplication region and III-V compounds as an absorption region create photodetectors that are highly efficient and tailored to specific applications. Devices responsive to different regions of the optical spectrum, or that have higher efficiencies are created.
