A 19-gb/s, 1.8-v optical receiver front-end comprised of a Ge-on-SOI photodiode and a CMOS transimpedance amplifier
Abstract
We report the fastest (19 Gb/s) and lowest voltage (1.8 V) all-silicon-based optical receiver front end, consisting of a 0.13-μm CMOS transimpedance amplifier and a planar Ge-on-SOI photodiode that is suitable for future monolithic integration.
