Germanium on Silicon for Near-Infrared Light Sensing

We review near-infrared detectors in germanium grown on silicon. We discuss <i>pn</i> and <i>pin</i> photodiodes based on Ge deposited on Si by a number of techniques, including thermal evaporation; the optical and electronic characterization of Ge-on-Si heterostructures usin...
