ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor photodiode device comprises a substrate with top and bottom opposite surfaces, having an upper portion of a first conductivity type adjacent the top surface and a lower portion of a second conductivity type adjacent the bottom surface, an anode region of the second conductivity type and a cathode region of the first conductivity type radially spaced from the anode region and disposed in the top surface of the substrate, and an isolation region of the second conductivity type disposed in the upper portion of the substrate radially spaced from the surrounding the cathode and anode regions. The isolation region extends to the lower portion of the substrate. A buried region of the first conductivity type underlies a portion of the top surface of the substrate enclosed by the cathode region and spaced from the anode, cathode and isolation regions such that the buried region is in contact with the upper and lower portions of the substrate. A sidewall region of the first conductivity type in the upper portion of the substrate is disposed between and spaced from the isolation region and the anode region and connects the buried region to the cathode region for eliminating parasitic effects. A light-shield film covers a portion of the top surface of the substrate overlaying and extending between the cathode region and the isolatioin region for preventing light from striking the covered portion of the substrate.
