    摘要: The present invention provides a single photon avalanche diode device. The device has a logic substrate comprising an upper surface. The device has a sensor substrate bonded to an upper surface of the logic substrate. In an example, the sensor substrate comprises a plurality of pixel elements spatially disposed to form an array structure. In an example, each of the pixel elements has a passivation material, an epitaxially grown silicon material, an implanted p-type material configured in a first portion of the epitaxially grown material, an implanted n-type material configured in a second portion of the epitaxially grown material, and a junction region configured from the implanted p-type material and the implanted n-type material.

    摘要: The present invention relates generally to sensing devices. In a specific embodiment, the present invention provides a SPAD pixel device that include a p-type material that partially encloses an n-type material. The junction between the p-type material and the n-type material is three dimensional and includes both a horizontal area and lateral areas. The SPAD pixel device also includes isolation structures that separate the SPAD pixel device from others. There are other embodiments as well.
