Infrared light detection capability of a hydrogenated amorphous silicon waveguide with a vertically stacked pin structure by utilising defect absorption, i.e. transition between dangling bond defect and extended states is demonstrated. The responsivities for a 0.6 mm‐long device are ∼6.2 and ∼0.22 mA/W at 1300 and 1550 nm wavelength, respectively.
