A polarization-independent photo-detector device is demonstrated that can be combined with electronic integrated circuits on a single chip. The photo-detector device is fully compatible with the standard silicon-on-insulator (SOI) CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) process without requiring process modification or post-processing.
