  • PIN photodiode structure and fabrication process for reducing dielectric delamination
    Patent number: 7439599
    Abstract: A PIN photodiode, and a method of manufacturing a PIN photodiode that reduces dielectric delamination and increases device reliability. The process proceeds by forming an first type electrode layer on the substrate; forming an intrinsic layer of the first type electrode layer; forming a second type electrode layer on the intrinsic layer; etching the second type electrode layer to define a mesa shaped structure; and depositing a passivation material over the mesa shaped structure.
    Type: Grant
