Photodetector Arrays in Laser-Recrystallized Silicon Integrated
with an Optical Waveguide
Keyword(s):
ABSTRACTIntegrated detection of light propagating in an optical waveguide by a photodetector array fabricated directly on the waveguide surface is demonstrated. Laser recrystallization of LPCVD polysilicon patterned with periodically-spaced anti-reflection stripes is utilized. Lateral p-i-n photodiode elements formed by ion implantation are characterized by reverse leakage currents of < 10−11 amp and a typical breakdown voltage of 50 volts. Optical response is found to be linear over a dynamic range of greater than 55 dB.
