  • Abstract
    In this paper three photodetector structures were simulated, fabricated and characterized at 850nm in a SiGe BiCMOS process. The measurement and simulation results suggest that the additional vertical layers offered by SiGe process compared to CMOS can facilitate higher detector bandwidth at the expense of reduced low frequency responsivity.
