Abstract

The elimination of the spatial variation in the frequency response of large area p-i-n photodiodes is disclosed using indium tin oxide (ITO) n.sup.+ material as a transparent contact overlayer. The I-V, C-V, and frequency response characteristics are shown for p-i-n photodiodes fabricated with and without the ITOn.sup.+ contact overlayer to demonstrate the superior performance of the indium-tin-oxide p-i-n photodiode. Also, a p-i-n photodiode can be structured using an ITOn.sup.+ window layer to extend the operating range to shorter optical wavelengths, for example, from 1.0 .mu.m down to 0.4 .mu.m.
