Abstract :
A novel, truly CMOS compatible, waveguide coupled, high-speed photodiode for on-chip optical clock distribution is designed using analytical calculations, electro-optical simulations, and experimental analysis. Experiment and simulation results from test devices are presented and analyzed. Results from test devices and waveguides currently under fabrication in the Agilent 0.35 μm CMOS process will be reported.
