  • Combined APD / PIN InGaAs photodetector with microlens structure and method of manufacture
    Publication number: 20070012948
    Abstract: An InGaAs photodetector is provided having an avalanche photodiode (APD), a p-intrinsic-n (PIN) photodiode, and a microlens structure that provides high optical fill factors for both the APD and the PIN photodiodes. The photodetector can be used for both ranging and imaging applications, can be formed as a single pixel, and multiple pixels can be fabricated to form a focal plane array. A method of fabricating the photodiode is also provided.
