장파장 OEIC의 제작 및 특성

Fabrication and Characteristics of Long Wavelength Receiver OEIC

The monolithically integrated receiver OEIC using InGaAs/InP PIN PD, junction FET's and bias resistor has been fabricated on semi-insulating InP substrate. The fabrication process is highly compatible between PD and self-aligned JFET, and reduction in gate length is achieved using an anisotropic selective etching and a non-planar OMVPE process. The PIN photodetector with a 80 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ diameter exhibits current of less than 5 nA and a capacitance of about 0.35 pF at -5 V bias voltage. An extrinsic transconductance and a gate-source capacitance of the JFET with 4 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ gate length (gate width = 150 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) are typically 45 mS/mm and 0.67 pF at 0 V, respectively. A voltage gain of the pre-amplifier is 5.5.
