Explains the circuit design of silicon optoelectronic integrated circuits (OEICs), which are central to advances in wireless and wired telecommunications. The essential features of optical absorption are summarized, as is the device physics of photodetectors and their integration in modern bipolar, CMOS, and BiCMOS technologies. This information provides the basis for understanding the underlying mechanisms of the OEICs described in the main part of the book. In order to cover the topic comprehensively, Silicon Optoelectronic Integrated Circuits presents detailed descriptions of many OEICs for a wide variety of applications from various optical sensors, smart sensors, 3D-cameras, and optical storage systems (DVD) to fiber receivers in deep-sub-μm CMOS. Numerous detailed illustrations help to elucidate the material.

This is the first book to provide guidance on the development and application of metal silicide technology as it emerges from the scientific to the prototype and manufacturing stages. Other key topics covered are fundamentals, present and future silicide technology for Si-based devices, and characterisation methods. Suitable for engineers and students in microelectronics.

Proceedings of SPIE present the original research papers presented at SPIE conferences and other high-quality conferences in the broad-ranging fields of optics and photonics. These books provide prompt access to the latest innovations in research and technology in their respective fields. Proceedings of SPIE are among the most cited references in patent literature.

Illustrates the use of several modeling and simulation techniques for optoelectronic circuit and system design analysis, intended to address the general lack of advanced modeling and simulation infrastructure currently available. Topics range from a review of conventional electronic circuit simulati
