Abstract :
A receiver chip based on 3D stacking a photodiode chip directly on top of TIA CMOS IC is demonstrated. Open eye patterns are demonstrated for both 3D stacked receiver and transmitter chips and BER measurements of the transmitter show penalty free operation under uniform biasing conditions proving that the interconnecting technology is robust.
