A novel monolithically integrated silicon-on-insulator (SOI) CMOS avalanche photodiode photoreceiver is presented. The photoreceiver consists of a high gain (>30), low voltage (<20 V) Geiger-mode avalanche photodiode, operated below breakdown in avalanche mode, monolithically integrated with a transimpedance amplifier (TZ) in a 1.5 µm hybrid bulk/SOI CMOS process.
