Abstract
Optical interconnection of electronic integrated circuit chips is currently of great interest. This would provide a much greater bandwidth of information flow on and off the chip, especially if surface-normal devices are used since then information may flow vertically from the chip and the entire area of the chip may be used rather than just the periphery. Modulators are attractive candidates for active optical input/output. We demonstrate here a simple, elegant scheme for producing a modulator and a heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) on the same chip.
