Quasi-hydrodynamic numerical model of high-speed on-chip photodetectors for optical interconnections

This paper is aimed at the research and development of high-speed A^IIIB^V photodetectors for on-chip optical interconnections in integrated circuits. We treat the problem of the quasi-hydrodynamic numerical simulation of photosensitive semiconductor devices. The results of GaAs p-i-n photodiode simulation obtained with the use of the simplified model are discussed.
