Novel CMOS-Compatible Ultralow Capacitance Hybrid III-V/Si Photodetectors Tested up to 32 Gbps NRZ

Abstract

We demonstrate the monolithic integration of CMOS-compatible ultralow capacitance hybrid III-V/Si photodetectors and test these devices up to 32Gbps NRZ. The lateral photodiodes are suitable for ultrafast optical communication without using a transimpedance amplifier.
