Design and Properties of Phototransistor Photodetector in Standard 0.35-[Formula Omitted]m SiGe BiCMOS Technology

In this paper, without altering any step of the commercial 0.35-mum SiGe BiCMOS process, a novel photodetector named phototransistor photodetector (PTPD) has been realized and demonstrated. The PTPD shows high photoresponsivity and its structure relaxes the tradeoff between sensitivity and speed. Re...

description In this paper, without altering any step of the commercial 0.35-mum SiGe BiCMOS process, a novel photodetector named phototransistor photodetector (PTPD) has been realized and demonstrated. The PTPD shows high photoresponsivity and its structure relaxes the tradeoff between sensitivity and speed. Responsivities of 9.5 A/W for 670 nm light and of 5.2 A/W for 850 nm light were achieved. The operation details of the PTPD are introduced in this paper. The device can be readily integrated with other on-chip circuits to form a high-performance optoelectronic IC. The low cost, the high performance, and the flexibility in optical-electrical design allow the SiGe PTPD to be used in many demanding applications.
