چکیده
We present a silicon avalanche photodetector (APD) fabricated with standard complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology without any process modification or special substrates. The CMOS-APD is based on N+/P-well junction, and its current-voltage characteristics, responsivity, avalanche gain, and photodetection frequency response are measured. Gain-bandwidth product over 1 THz is achieved with the CMOS-APD having avalanche gain of 569 and 3-dB photodetection bandwidth of 3.2 GHz.

Monolithic germanium/silicon avalanche photodiodes with 340 GHz gain–bandwidth product
Significant progress has been made recently in demonstrating that silicon photonics is a promising technology for low-cost optical detectors, modulators and light sources1–12. It has often been assumed, however, that their performance is inferior to InP-based devices. Although this is true in most cases, one of the exceptions is the area of avalanche photodetectors, where silicon’s material pro...

متن کامل6.25-Gb/s Optical Receiver Using A CMOS-Compatible Si Avalanche Photodetector
An optical receiver using a CMOS-compatible avalanche photodetector (CMOS-APD) is demonstrated. The CMOS-APD is fabricated with 0.18 μm standard CMOS technology and the optical receiver is implemented by using the CMOS-APD and a transimpedance amplifier on a board. The optical receiver can detect 6.25-Gb/s data with the help of the series inductive peaking effect.

We present a 12.5-Gb/s monolithically integrated optical receiver with CMOS avalanche photodetector (CMOS-APD) realized in 65-nm CMOS technology. The optical detection bandwidth limitation of CMOS-APD due to the carrier transit time is compensated by underdamped TIA. With this optical receiver, 12.5-Gb/s 850-nm optical data are successfully detected with bit-error rate less than 10 at the incid...
