Chip - Hall of Fame

Op­ti­c­al­ly Clo­cked Track-and-Hold Am­pli­fi­er

The displayed chip is a novel opto-electronic Track-and-Hold Amplifier (OE-THA). The OE-THA can be used as a sampler in a photonic analog-to-digital-converter (ADC). It is fabricated in a silicon photonic 250 nm SiGe BiCMOS technology to allow for monolithic integration of photonic and electronic components.

Mo­no­li­thi­c­al­ly In­­te­­gra­ted Co­he­rent Re­cei­ver

The presented chip is a monolithically integrated coherent receiver designed to support high symbol rates (up to 64 GBd) necessary for inter- and intra-datacenter fiber-optic links. It represents a significant technological advancement as the first monolithic, single polarization coherent ePIC receiver operating at 64 GBd.
