Abstract
A waveguide type semiconductor photodetector device comprises a photosensitive section including a photo-absorption layer for converting a signal light into an electric signal, and an optical attenuation section including an optical attenuation layer made of a bulk crystal for attenuating incident light. Assuming that E.sub.g.ATT and E.sub.in are bandgap energy of the optical attenuation layer and optical energy of the incident light signal, respectively, E.sub.in +50 meV.ltoreq.E.sub.g,ATT .ltoreq.E.sub.in +100 meV holds. The optical absorption layer and the optical attenuation layer are made of GaInAs and GaInAsP, respectively, for adapting to incident light of a 1.55 mm wavelength.
