Monolithic bipolar-, CMOS-, and BiCMOS-receiver OEICs

Abstract

The possibilities of standard bipolar, CMOS, and BiCMOS processes with respect to their use for the manufacturing of optoelectronic integrated circuits (OEICs) as optical receivers will be compared. The improvement of the OEIC properties due to process modifications and application examples of silicon receiver OEICs will be further, major points of consideration.
