摘要
A resonant Ge/Si APD with the SACM (separate-absorption-charge-multiplication) structure is presented. Due to the resonance effect in the avalanche region, the Ge/Si APD shows an ultra-high gain-band products (GBP) (860GHz). This may make it possible to generate electrical data directly without a TIA (trans-impedance-amplifier). Consequently, the receiver based on the resonant Ge/Si APD may be cheaper, smaller and lower power than existing approaches.
