Polycrystalline silicon and silicon-germanium photoconductors, which can be fully integrated in a standard BiC-MOS process, were fabricated and tested. The response time of these devices make them suitable for clockinglsampling applications in excess of 1 GHz. In addition, the effects of small variations in key fabrication steps were studied. This work indicates that photoconductors can be designed and fabricated according to specifications that are compatible with a standard CMOS process flow.
