CMOS PIN fiber receiver and DVD OEIC

Two monolithically integrated PIN CMOS OEICs (optoelectronic integrated circuits) are presented: A high-speed CMOS PIN fiber receiver for optical data transmission and optical interconnects and a CMOS PIN OEIC for optical storage systems. Both OEICs were integrated in a 1.0 /spl mu/m twin-well CMOS-process, using PIN-photodiodes as photodetectors. For the high-speed fiber receiver a NRZ data rate of 622 Mbit/s is achieved at a wavelength of 850 nm. For the CMOS DVD OEIC -3dB-frequencies up to 45 MHz are obtained at a wavelength of 638.3 nm. Compared to our previous work the sensitivity of the OEIC is doubled.
