The purpose of the invention is to provide a photoelectric conversion element enable to ensure the connection of the contact electrode easily and accurately. The plurality of the laser oscillator in which a semiconductor layer and the p-side electrode are laminated are formed on the same substrate. Each contact electrode formed on the base substrate through each opening of the insulating layer is electrically connected to each p-side electrode. Each opening corresponding to each laser oscillator placed side by side is formed in a staggered configuration in the alignment direction. Each contact electrode is extended in parallel with the alignment direction corresponding to each opening. Accordingly, the space between each opening and the space between each contact electrode which are placed side by side in the alignment direction are widened and the requirement for highly accurate position matching is eliminated. Therefore, each p-side electrode and each contact electrode can be connected easily and accurately.

The invention relates to an opto-electronic sensor component comprising the following: a first semiconducting layer of predetermined conductivity type and a second layer of different semiconductor or metal conductivity type; a transition region between the two layers; at least one surface region through which the electromagnetic radiation to be detected can pass into the transition region (radiation-side surface region); and an electrode for each layer to connect both layers to an electrical circuit. The electrodes of the two layers are mounted on a surface of the component opposite a radiation-side surface region. This simplifies connection of the sensor component to an electrical circuit mounted on a circuit board or the like.

Wafer-fused semiconductor radiation detector useful for gamma-ray and x-ray spectrometers and imaging systems. The detector is fabricated using wafer fusion to insert an electrically conductive grid, typically comprising a metal, between two solid semiconductor pieces, one having a cathode (negative electrode) and the other having an anode (positive electrode). The wafer fused semiconductor radiation detector functions like the commonly used Frisch grid radiation detector, in which an electrically conductive grid is inserted in high vacuum between the cathode and the anode. The wafer-fused semiconductor radiation detector can be fabricated using the same or two different semiconductor materials of different sizes and of the same or different thicknesses; and it may utilize a wide range of metals, or other electrically conducting materials, to form the grid, to optimize the detector performance, without being constrained by structural dissimilarity of the individual parts. The wafer-fused detector is basically formed, for example, by etching spaced grooves across one end of one of two pieces of semiconductor materials, partially filling the grooves with a selected electrical conductor which forms a grid electrode, and then fusing the grooved end of the one semiconductor piece to an end of the other semiconductor piece with a cathode and an anode being formed on opposite ends of the semiconductor pieces.

The present invention improves the resolution and accuracy of the presently known two-dimensional position sensing detectors and delivers improved performance in the 1.3 to 1.55 micron wavelength region. The present invention is an array of semiconductor layers with four electrodes, the illustrative embodiment comprising a semi-insulating substrate semiconductor base covered by a semiconductor buffered layer, the buffered layer further covered by a semiconductor absorption layer and the absorption layer covered with a semiconductor layer. Four electrodes are placed on this semiconductor array: two on the top layer parallel to each other and near the ends of opposite edges, and two etched in the buffered layer, parallel to each other and perpendicular to the first set. The layers are doped as to make a p-n junction in the active area. Substantially all the layers, excepting the semi-insulating substrate layer, are uniformly resistive.
