ABSTRACT:
A light conversion apparatus has a germanium-based photodiode, and a polysilicon-based receiving electrode for receiving light to be converted by the photodiode. The receiving electrode is coupled with the photodiode and permits the received light to substantially pass through it to the photodiode. The photodiode is capable of converting the received light into an electrical signal.
