Integrated circuit comprising multiple channels with integrated bypass capacitors and photodiodes

Abstract:

Embodiments described herein relate to techniques and configurations associated with a photonic apparatus (e.g., PIC) having a photodiode and a bypass capacitor disposed in a channel. In one instance, the apparatus includes a substrate in which at least first and second channels are formed. The first channel includes a first photodiode and a first capacitor coupled to the first photodiode, and the second channel includes a second photodiode and a second capacitor coupled with the second photodiode. The first and second capacitors are provided to assist with biasing the first and second photodiodes respectively and to isolate a signal output by the first and second photodiodes from interference provided by the power supply associated with the apparatus. Additional embodiments can be described and claimed.
