Abstract

A photodetector according to the present disclosure can avoid wire peeling and connection defective, by separating a bonding wire connected to a ground pad of a TIA and a bonding wire connected to a ground potential of a PD sub-mount surface. A photodetector according to the present disclosure includes a substrate, a light-receiving unit installed on the substrate, the light-receiving unit converts an input optical signal into an electric signal, at least one of an anode electrode pad electrically connected to an anode of the light-receiving unit, at least one of a cathode electrode pad electrically connected to a cathode of the light-receiving unit, a ground pad provided on each of both sides of the anode electrode pad and the cathode electrode pad, at least one of a second ground pad installed outside the ground pad; and a wiring pattern electrically connects the ground pad and the second ground pad.

Claims (19)

1 . A photodetector comprising:

a substrate;

a light-receiving unit installed on the substrate, the light-receiving unit converting an input optical signal into an electric signal;

at least one of an anode electrode pad electrically connected to an anode of the light-receiving unit;

at least one of a cathode electrode pad electrically connected to a cathode of the light-receiving unit;

a ground pad provided on each of both sides of the anode electrode pad and the cathode electrode pad;

at least one of a second ground pad installed outside the ground pad; and

a wiring pattern electrically connects the ground pad and the second ground pad.

2 . The photodetector according to claim 1 , further comprising a second wiring pattern, the second wiring pattern electrically connecting the ground pad adjacent to the anode electrode pad and the ground pad adjacent to the cathode electrode pad.

3 . A photodetector, comprising:

a substrate;

a light-receiving unit installed on the substrate, the light-receiving unit converting an input optical signal into an electric signal;

at least one of an anode electrode pad electrically connected to an anode of the light-receiving unit;

at least one of a cathode electrode pad electrically connected to a cathode of the light-receiving unit; and

a ground pad provided on each of both sides of the anode electrode pad and the cathode electrode pad,

wherein a length of the ground pad in a longitudinal direction is twice or more a length of the ground pad in a width direction.

4 . The photodetector according to claim 1 , wherein the photodetector is any one of a back incident type photodiode, a front incident type photodiode, and an end surface incident type photodiode.

5 . The photodetector according to claim 2 , wherein the photodetector is any one of a back incident type photodiode, a front incident type photodiode, and an end surface incident type photodiode.

6 . The photodetector according to claim 3 , wherein the photodetector is any one of a back incident type photodiode, a front incident type photodiode, and an end surface incident type photodiode.
