Photonic mixer, use thereof and system comprising the photonic mixer Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The photonic mixer comprises a couple of an injecting contact region(3,4) for injecting the majority carrier current into the semiconductor substrate (1) and a detector region (7,8) for collecting the photocurrent. The injecting contact region (3,4) is doped with a dopant of the first conductivity type (p + ) at a higher dopant concentration than the semiconductor substrate (1). The detector region (7,8) is doped with a dopant of a second conductivity type (n + ) opposite the first conductivity type and has a junction (11,12) with the semiconductor substrate (1), a zone of the semiconductor ...
