Abstract
The use of microwave semiconductor devices as photodetectors or optically controlled circuit elements have attracted growing interest. We have systematically characterized the optical response of p-channel pseudomorphic MODFET as a function of the drain voltage, gate voltage, and optical power of the illumination. Physical mechanisms responsible for the variation of the device characteristics due to the optical illumination are discussed and analytic models are developed for strong non-linear behavior of the threshold voltage and the photoresponsivity with the optical power of the illumination.
