  • Abstract
    Novel silicon-on-insulator, large area (500 μm diameter), CMOS avalanche photodiodes for use with plastic optical fibre are presented. Patterns have been formed on the devices to reduce junction capacitance. Measurements on the patterned devices, at 650 nm and 26 V reverse bias, revealed bandwidths of >500 MHz.
