Design, fabrication, and automated testing of 32-channel integrated MSM/MESFET optoelectronic integrated circuit (OEIC) receiver arrays

Abstract

The success of OEICs lies in the ability to fabricate complex electro-optic circuits with high yield and manufacturability. This paper reports on the design, fabrication, and testing of a high yield, 32 channel, fiber optic receiver array. The potential cost savings of the OEIC approach are discussed.
