Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to structures and semiconductor devices for use in optoelectronic/photonic applications and integrated circuit (IC) chips. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to optoelectronic devices having an electrode that is capable of filtering electromagnetic waves. The present disclosure provides a structure having a substrate, an optical detector upon the substrate, and an electrode upon an upper surface of the optical detector. The electrode defines at least one aperture configured to filter electromagnetic waves traversing the aperture. The optical detector is structured to detect the electromagnetic waves filtered by the aperture.
