초록보기

 High-performance silicon avalanche photodetectors (APDs) are designed and fabricated with standard complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology and bipolar CMOS (BiCMOS) technology without any design or layout rule violation. To investigate the performance of CMOS-compatible silicon APDs (CMOS-APDs), DC and AC characteristics of the CMOS-APDs are experimentally characterized. In addition, equivalent circuit models for CMOS-APDs are developed to better understand CMOS-APD characteristics.

CMOS-APDs are investigated with several considerations such as guard ring (GR), electrode, silicide, area, and junction for the goal of identifying the factors that influence the CMOS-APD performance and achieving the optimal CMOS-APD performance. Several types of CMOS-APDs are realized with the considerations, and current characteristics, responsivity, avalanche gain, electrical reflection coefficients, and photodetection bandwidth for CMOS-APDs are measured and compared. In addition, their characteristics are analyzed with technology computer-aided-design (TCAD) simulation and the equivalent circuit models. From these investigations, dominant factors that influence the CMOS-APD performances are identified, and then the CMOS-APD is optimized. The optimized CMOS-APD shows the highest gain and photodetection bandwidth performances among CMOS-compatible photodetectors reported until now.

Then, with the optimized CMOS-APD, their characteristics are measured and compared at different bias voltages and incident optical power with the goal of achieving the optimal operating conditions. The characteristics depending on the reverse bias voltage and incident optical power are analyzed with equivalent circuit models, and consequently dominant limiting factors that influence the performances of CMOS-APDs are identified, and then the optimal operating conditions are clarified.

From these investigations, dominant factors that influence the CMOS-APD performances are identified, and then the optimal operating conditions are clarified. It is expected that the optimized CMOS-APDs can play an important role in silicon-photonics applications to achieve cost reduction of systems by enabling monolithic electronic-photonic integrated circuits based on the mature CMOS technology. In addition, the equivalent-circuit analysis can be very useful for realizing and understanding monolithically integrated optical receivers having germanium avalanche photodetectors as well as silicon avalanche photodetectors.
