A transimpedance amplifier (TIA) has been realized in a 0.6-/spl mu/m digital CMOS technology for Gigabit Ethernet applications. The amplifier exploits the regulated cascode (RGC) configuration as the input stage, thus achieving as large effective input transconductance as that of Si Bipolar or GaAs MESFET. The RGC input configuration isolates the input parasitic capacitance including photodiode capacitance from the bandwidth determination better than common-gate TIA. Test chips were electrically measured on a FR-4 PC board, demonstrating transimpedance gain of 58 dB/spl Omega/ and -3-dB bandwidth of 950 MHz for 0.5-pF photodiode capacitance. Even with 1-pF photodiode capacitance, the measured bandwidth exhibits only 90-MHz difference, confirming the mechanism of the RGC configuration. In addition, the noise measurements show average noise current spectral density of 6.3 pA//spl radic/(Hz) and sensitivity of -20-dBm for a bit-error rate of 10/sup -12/. The chip core dissipates 85 mW from a single 5-V supply.

1.25-Gb/s regulated cascode CMOS transimpedance amplifier for Gigabit Ethernet applications

Over the past decade, system-on-chip (SoC) designs have evolved to address the ever increasing complexity of applications, fueled by the era of digital convergence. Improvements in process technology have effectively shrunk board-level components so they can be integrated on a single chip. New on-chip communication architectures have been designed to support all inter-component communication in a SoC design. These communication architecture fabrics have a critical impact on the power consumption, performance, cost and design cycle time of modern SoC designs. As application complexity strains the communication backbone of SoC designs, academic and industrial R&D efforts and dollars are increasingly focused on communication architecture design.

On-Chip Communication Architectures: System on Chip Interconnect

The ability to produce a high-performance monolithic CMOS photoreceiver, including the photodetector, could enable greater use of optics in short-distance communication systems. Such a receiver requires the ability to simultaneously produce a photodetector compatible with a high-volume high-yield CMOS process, as well as the entire receiver circuit. The quest for this element has yet to produce a clear winner, and has proven quite challenging. We review some of the work in this field with the goal of informing the reader as to the origin of the challenges and the implementation tradeoffs. Finally, we report experimental results from a monolithic CMOS photoreceiver realized in a 0.35-/spl mu/m production CMOS process, including a CMOS photodiode. Operating at 1 Gb/s, the receiver requires an average input power of -6.3 dBm at 850 nm to obtain a measured bit error rate of 1/spl times/10/sup -9/, and dissipates 1.5 mW at 2.2 V, increasing to 6 mW at 3.3 V.

1-Gb/s integrated optical detectors and receivers in commercial CMOS technologies

A new and innovative interconnection technology applicable for printed circuit boards is presented. This technology is widely compatible with the existing design and manufacturing processes and technologies for conventional multilayer pc boards and it combines electrical and optical interconnects on pc board level. It provides the potential for on-board bandwidth of several Gb/s and closes the bottleneck caused by the limited performance of electrical interconnection technology. After giving an overview on the most important basic technologies and first available results and engineering samples, the focus of this paper is on the development of appropriate modeling methodologies and simulation algorithms necessary for designing and optimizing optical on-board interconnects within the conventional electrical pc board environment.

A high-performance hybrid electrical-optical interconnection technology for high-speed electronic systems

A method of fabricating light-sensing devices including photodiodes monolithically integrated with CMOS devices. Several types of photodiode devices (PIN, HIP) are epitaxially grown in one single step on active areas implanted in a common semiconductor substrate, the active areas having defined polarities. The epitaxially grown layers for the photodiode devices may be either undoped or in-situ doped with profiles suitable for their respective operation. With appropriate choice of substrate materials, device layers and heterojunction engineering and process architecture, it is possible to fabricate silicon­based and germanium-based multi-spectral sensors that can deliver pixel density and cost of fabrication comparable to the state of the art CCDs and CMOS image sensors. The method can be implemented with epitaxially deposited films on the following substrates: Silicon Bulk, Thick-Film and Thin-Film Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI), Germanium Bulk, Thick-Film and Thin-Film Germanium-On-Insulator (GeOI).

Light-sensing device

A new photodiode for the UV/blue spectral range, which can be integrated monolithically with CMOS circuits, is presented. Such optoelectronic integrated circuits (OEICs) with a high sensitivity in the UV/blue spectral range are needed in near-future optical storage systems like digital versatile disk (DVD) or digital video recording (DVR). At 400 nm, our so-called finger photodiode achieves a responsivity of 0.23 A/W corresponding to a quantum efficiency /spl eta/ of 70% [with an antireflection coating (ARC)] and rise and fall times of 1.0 ns and 1.1 ns, respectively. The finger photodiode can be used in the red spectral range, too. At 638 nm, the responsivity is 0.49 A/W (/spl eta/=95%) and rise and fall times of less than 2.3 ns are achieved. For the integration of the finger photodiode in an industrial 1 /spl mu/m twin-well CMOS process, only one additional mask is needed in order to block out the threshold voltage implantation in the photo-active region.

Results of optoelectronic integrated CMOS receivers for applications in optical data transmission and in optical interconnects are presented. The rise and fall times of the integrated p-i-n photodiodes (PDs) are 0.19 and 0.24 ns, respectively, corresponding to -3 dB bandwidths in excess of 1.4 GHz. These PDs combine this high speed with a high quantum efficiency. Rise and fall times of 0.53 and 0.69 ns, respectively, are obtained for CMOS optoelectronic integrated circuits (OEICs) with integrated p-i-n PD's. These OEICs in 1.0 /spl mu/m CMOS technology handle a data rate of 622 Mb/s with a single-supply voltage of 3.3 V.

Monolithic high-speed CMOS-photoreceiver

Results of new CMOS-integrated PIN photodiodes in optoelectronic integrated circuits (OEICs) for applications in optical storage systems, in optical data transmission and in optical interconnects are presented. The rise and fall times of the integrated PIN photodiodes are below 0.3 us. The CMOS-integrated PIN photodiodes are sufficient for a NRZ data rate of 1.5 Gb/s and the results show that PIN CMOS receiver OEICs in submicron technologies enable data rates up to 1 Gb/s. These photodiodes combine this high speed with a high quantum efficiency of approximately 50%. The further improvement of their quantum efficiency above 90% by the integration of an antireflection coating is discussed. Low-offset PIN-CMOS-OEICs for application in digital-versatile-disk (DVD) systems with bandwidths in excess of 32 MHz are presented. A high speed PIN-CMOS-OEIC in 1.0 /spl mu/m technology for optical data transmission exhibits a data rate of 622 Mb/s.

Furthermore, an innovative PIN photodiode requiring only one additional mask for the integration in a CMOS process is shown to be capable of handling a data rate of 1.1 Gb/s.
