Four-element modified uni-traveling-carrier (MUTC) photodiode arrays (PDA) flip-chip bonded onto transmission lines on AlN substrates are demonstrated. High RF output powers of 26.2 dBm and 21.0 dBm are achieved at 35 GHz and 48 GHz, respectively, using a PDA with 28-μm diameter photodiodes. A systematic comparison between a PDA with four 20 μm-diameter elements and a discrete detector with the same active area (40-μm diameter) is presented. The PDA achieved higher output power and thermal dissipation compared to its discrete counterpart.
