ABSTRACT:
A radiation-sensitive semiconductor device, more particularly but not exclusively a photo detection arrangement for determining the postion of a luminous spot, including a semiconductor body having at least two radiation-sensitive diodes and amplifying circuitry for the photocurrent generated by the luminous spot. The amplifying circuitry includes transistors arranged outside the area of the semiconductor body occupied by the radiation-sensitive diodes. Each transistor is assigned to and connected to a radiation-sensitive diode, while at least the active parts of the transistors are arranged more closely to each other in the semiconductor body than the diodes to which they are assigned. A focusing arrangement may advantageously incorporate such as semiconductor photodetector.
