Effective carrier sweepout in a silicon waveguide by a metal-semiconductor-metal structure

Abstract

We demonstrate effective carrier depletion by metal-semiconductor-metal junctions for a silicon waveguide. Photo-generated carriers are efficiently swept out by applying bias voltages, and a shortest carrier lifetime of only 55 ps is demonstrated.
