Abstract

1.3 - 1.55μm wavelength 20 Gbit/s MSM-HEMT and 10 Gbit/s PIN-HEMT photoreceivers have been monolithically integrated on GaAs substrates using a 0.3 μm gate length AlGaAs/GaAs HEMT process. The In/sub 0.53/Ga/sub 0.47/As MSM and PIN photodiodes grown on GaAs have nearly identical characteristics to photodiodes grown on InP.
