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 3):
The lateral microstructure-enhanced photodetector of  claim 1 , further including a monolithic chip and plural active electronic circuits monolithically integrated with said photodetector on or in said cup and electrically coupled with said electrodes to receive and process said electrical output.
