Abstract :
Monolithic PIN-FET photoreceivers were investigated in both the InP and GaAs systems. The GaAs-based circuits consist of a single growth step in which the p-i-n diode was grown on top of the MESFET. The circuits exhibit flatband gains as high as 17 dB and bandwidths of 2.0 GHz. The InP circuits feature regrown MODFETs integrated with p-i-n diodes. These devices exhibit a gain of 17 dB and a bandwidth of 10 GHz
