Title: On-Chip Integration of MMIC and single Photon Detectors
Inventor: ZAKARIA MOKTADIR
IPC: H01L31/107
Filed: 2017-03-10
Abstract: A photon detection device formed in a single integrated circuit on a substrate has a bias tee 106 connected to first and second input terminals 102, 104, for receiving DC and AC input voltage. A photon detector 108, connected to an output of the bias tee, outputs a detection signal via an output terminal 110, based on a single incident photon. A capacitive line may be connected in parallel to the detector, between the bias tee output and a ground, for impedance matching. The detector may be an avalanche detector. A second photon detector may be connected to the output of the bias tee, and photons blocked from reaching it. A noise cancellation circuit may subtract an output from the second detector from the detection signal. The first and second detectors may be identical and formed simultaneously. The compact photon detection device may operate at high speed GHz gating frequencies.
