Abstract
We give the first demonstration of fabrication of a monolithic photoreceiver using selective growth and lattice mismatch heteroepitaxies. The photoreceiver includes a GaInAs/GaAs M̄.S.M. photodetector, a GaAs MESFET and a serial inductor which achieves a resonant effect. A dielectric mask was used to selectively grow the GaInAs/GaAs heteroepitaxies on the GaAs epilayers which, themselves, have been grown on a Silicon substrate. In comparison with a PIN photodiode loaded with a 50ω resistor, approximately 10 dB gain has been obtained at 7 GHz.
