Low-voltage Ge avalanche photodetector for highly sensitive 10Gb/s Si photonic receivers

Book Contribution - Book Chapter Conference Contribution

We demonstrate low-voltage germanium waveguide avalanche photodetectors (APD) with gain-bandwidth product of 88GHz. A 7.1dB sensitivity improvement is demonstrated for an APD wire-bonded to a 10Gb/s CMOS transimpedance amplifier, at -6.2V APD bias.
