Transfer Print Integration of 40Gbps Germanium Photodiodes onto Silicon Photonic ICs

We demonstrate the integration of germanium photodiodes on SOI waveguides by transfer printing. Devices were printed with better than 1μm alignment accuracy. A waveguide-referred responsivity of 0.66A/W was measured at 1550nm and operation at 40Gbps is demonstrated.
