  • Phototransistor with body-strapped base
    Patent number: 10553633
    Abstract: A photodetector includes a two-terminal bipolar phototransistor arranged on a substrate. The phototransistor includes a base, a collector, and an emitter. An electrical connection is made between the base and the local substrate near a region of the phototransistor. The electrical connection can be by way of metal interconnects.

  • Photosensing device with graphene
    Patent number: 9812603
    Abstract: A photosensing device with a photovoltage sensing mechanism, a graphene layer and a semiconductor layer. The graphene layer is sandwiched between the semiconductor layer and a substrate. The photovoltage sensing mechanism senses the photovoltage created by light impinging on the graphene-semiconductor heterojunction. The strength of the photovoltage is used to indicate the level of illumination of the impinging light.
