Abstract
Millimetre-wave slow wave electrodes on InP are realised by capacitive ly loading of coplanar waveguide (CPW) transmission lines using interd igitated metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) structures. The slow wave str uctures are designed for velocity matching with InP-based optical wave guides and a 50 Omega line impedance. Their dispersion, loss and imped ance characteristics are measured up to 40GHz, and they demonstrate th e suitability of the lines for use in distributed MSM photodetectors.
