  • Integrated circuit with reflective material in trenches and related methods
    Patent number: 9773930
    Abstract: An IC may include a substrate and a layer, and an array of GMAPDs in the layer. The layer may have trenches extending between adjacent GMAPDs. The IC may include an optically reflective material within the trenches. The optically reflective material may also be electrically conductive. For example, the optically reflective material may comprise a metal. Also, the trenches may be arranged in a honeycomb pattern.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 18, 2016
    Date of Patent: September 26, 2017
    Assignee: STMICROELECTRONICS S.R.L.
    Inventors: Lorenzo Motta, Claudio Alfonso Giacomo Savoia
