High bandwidth graphene photodetector

HIGH BANDWIDTH GRAPHENE PHOTODETECTOR

Tech for Transfer

TTO

16-01-2016

This technology involves a device for coupling light into graphene using a planar photonic crystal with a resonant cavity and evanescent coupling. This resolves the problem of low optical absorption and responsitivity of graphene making it suitable for working as a photodetector. The optical properties of the graphene layer can then be controlled by electric currents. The advantages of graphene-based devices, such as high bandwidth detection abilities and ultrafast carrier dynamics are maintained.

High-Speed Phototransistor in a Commercial SiGe BiCMOS

HIGH-SPEED PHOTOTRANSISTOR IN A COMMERCIAL SIGE BICMOS

Tech for Transfer

TTO

18-01-2016

This technology presents a novel high speed photodetector/receiver integrated in silicon-based commercial logic processes (BiCMOS) that provides higher performance at a lower cost than existing devices. SiGe phototransistors are constructed from modified SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) with optical responsivity enhanced by transistor gain and SiGe's relatively shorter absorption depth. The inherent gain allows a boost in responsivity without fabrication of a thick device.
