The first monolithically integrated photodiode and transimpedance amplifier in ultra-thin-film SOI technology for 10 Gbit/s short-distance optical communication is presented. Results indicate performances compatible with the application, at very low power consumption, chip area and cost, using an all-silicon receiver in a 0.13 mu m SOI CMOS technology.
