ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed towards radiation detectors and methods of detecting incident radiation. In particular the present invention is directed towards photodiodes with controlled current leakage detector structures and a method of manufacturing photodiodes with controlled current leakage detector structures. The photodiodes of the present invention are advantageous in that they have special structures to substantially reduce detection of stray light. Additionally, the present invention gives special emphasis to the design, fabrication, and use of photodiodes with controlled leakage current.
