Abstract:
Lateral and vertical microstructure enhanced photodetectors and avalanche photodetectors are monolithically integrated with CMOS/BiCMOS ASICs and can also be integrated with laser devices using fluidic assembly techniques. Photodetectors can be configured in a vertical PIN arrangement or lateral metal-semiconductor-metal arrangement where electrodes are in an inter-digitated pattern. Microstructures, such as holes and protrusions, can improve quantum efficiency in silicon, germanium and III-V materials and can also reduce avalanche voltages for avalanche photodiodes. Applications include optical communications within and between datacenters, telecommunications, LIDAR, and free space data communication.

Claim (Index 42):
The microstructure-enhanced photodetector of  claim 25 , wherein said photodetector comprises plural photodetectors each having respective electrodes and a respective multiplicity of said holes, and further including a monolithic chip and plural active electronic circuits monolithically integrated with said plural photodetectors on or in said chip and electrically coupled with said electrodes to receive and process said electrical output, and wherein said plural photodetectors are arranged in a pattern extending in at least two-dimensions and said electronic circuits also are arranged in a pattern expending in at least two dimensions.
