  • Photosensitive integrated circuit equipped with a reflective layer and corresponding method of production
    Patent number: 8610048
    Abstract: A method for producing a photosensitive integrated circuit including producing circuit control transistors, producing, above the control transistors, and between at least one upper electrode and at least one lower electrode, at least one photodiode, by amorphous silicon layers into which photons from incident electromagnetic radiation are absorbed, producing at least one passivation layer, between the lower electrode and the control transistors, and producing, between the control transistors and the external surface of the integrated circuit, a reflective layer capable of reflecting photons not absorbed by the amorphous silicon layers.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 22, 2011
    Date of Patent: December 17, 2013
    Assignee: STMicroelectronics S.A.
    Inventors: Jerome Alieu, Simon Guillaumet, Christophe Legendre, Hughes Leininger, Jean-Pierre Oddou, Marc Vincent
