A highly sensitive photodetector was made with a metal-porous silicon junction. The spectral response was measured for the wavelength range from 400 nm to 1.075-mu-m. It was demonstrated that close to unity quantum efficiency could be obtained in the wavelength range of 630-900 nm without any antireflective coating. The detector response time was about 2 ns with a 9 V reverse bias. The possible mechanisms are discussed.
