Abstract
We attain a PIN photodiode combining high responsivity, fast response and low capacitance in BiCMOS technology. Only a slight process modification, having no verifiable influence on the transistor parameters is necessary. We achieve bandwidths of 625 MHz and 240 MHz at 670 and 780 nm as well as a quantum efficiency of 96.5%.
