ABSTRACT:
An optical-electronic integrated circuit combining photo detection with an integrated circuit is provided where a light signal input thereto can be directly translated into an electronic signal. The electronic signal can be received and processed by the same integrated circuit. For this optical-electronic integrated circuit, the photo detection circuit is made by a metal-semiconductor-metal process. A current is generated when the photo detection circuit is impinged by photons.
