Abstract :
A method is proposed to improve the performances of integrated silicon based photodetectors compatible with CMOS technology. This method couples fast current mode circuits with CMOS compatible photodetectors. Based on HSPICE simulations, an optimized configuration is obtained and its performances are characterized. The results indicate that a speed as high 330 MHz is possible with 0.8 μm CMOS technology
