Abstract

A photo FET device having a large area backside optical energy reception surface is disclosed. The photo FET device is fabricated in the source gate and drain upward configuration using a lattice determining surrogate substrate and a mesa-forming deep etch processing sequence and then inverted onto a new permanent substrate member and the surrogate substrate member removed in order to expose the active area backside optical energy reception surface. Fabrication of the device from two possible indium-inclusive semiconductor materials and a particular gate metal alloy is also disclosed.
