  • Abstract
    We demonstrate a rapid fabrication process for high-speed waveguide-based photodetectors operating above 30 GHz. The process requires no dielectric planarization, and forms planar ground-signal-ground (GSG) contacts, which is more robust and ideally suitable for flip-chip packaging.
