Problems solved by technology

[0002] The bandwidth, gain and overload optical power of the avalanche photodiode (APD) device parameters are physical characteristics that are mutually inhibited. The contradiction of power is more prominent; APDs have been developed so far, and they all adopt the absorption, gradual change, charge, and multiplication separation (SAGCM) structure. The traditional SAGCM structure cannot meet the requirements of bandwidth and overload optical power when the device works at high speed.
[0003] In the current InGaAs / InP-based APD structure, electrons and holes are used for carrier transport, and the mobility of holes is lower than that of electrons. It is easy to accumulate at the PN interface or energy band discontinuity, resulting in space charge shielding effect, which limits the device. Frequency (speed) and saturation (overload optical power) characteristics
[0004] In addition, the side wall of the traditional mesa detector device is grown by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) silicon dioxide (SiO2), silicon nitride (SiNx) or coated with polyimide (PI), benzocyclobutene (BCB) for passivation, too high process temperature or low medium density will destroy the dangling bonds on the surface of compound semiconductors during plasma bombardment, resulting in unstable surface states and increased leakage current, making it effective in practical applications bad
