Silicon-germanium photodetectors for chip-integrated telecommunications

Silicon-germanium photodetectors for chip-integrated telecommunications offers a focused overview of SiGe photodetectors as a key enabling technology for silicon-based integrated photonics. The book covers fundamental operating principles, device architectures, fabrication and characterization methods, and experimental performance of low-voltage and avalanche SiGe photodetectors. Emphasis is placed on integration with silicon photonic platforms and on performance trade-offs relevant to high-speed, energy-efficient optical interconnects. Intended for graduate students, researchers, and engineers, this monograph serves as both a reference and a practical guide for the development of next-generation chip-integrated photonic systems.
