چکیده
In this paper we present a manufacturable InP/InGaAs SHBT technology suitable for monolithic integration of highdata-rate optical receivers. We investigated the fabricated SHBT and found that they are essentially insensitive to processing variations. The satisfactory device yield and uniform device performance in a research laboratory environment suggested the robustness of InP-based SHBT technology. Our device and circuit results augment the feasibility of InP HBT for both optoelectronic and microelectronic applications.

متن کاملA 46 GHz Bandwidth Monolithic InP/InGaAs PIN/SHBT-Photoreceiver
A InGaAs PIN-photodetector and a lumped SHBT-transimpedance-preamplifier have been mono-lithically integrated and characterized. The preamlifier achieves a transimpedance gain of 44:6 dB (170) and the optical/electrical ?3dB-bandwidth of the entire receiver is 46 GH z. This is, to the best of our knowledge, the highest bandwidth for any HBT based photoreceiver reported to date.
