N2 - Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST), an amorphous/crystalline chalcogenide material, is a promising candidate for vertical photodetectors due to its exceptional light absorption properties and seamless integration with silicon photonic platforms. This paper explores the utilization of simulations to analyze and optimize the design of Ge2Sb2Te5 vertical photodetectors. In the proposed method the thickness of Silicon and crystalline GST (c-GST) is optimized for the optimal performance. Two configurations are compared, evaluating the trade-off between photocurrent generation and thermally induced dark current. The results prove the trade-off between cathode current in the presence of photons and dark currents due to temperature.
