Abstract

See full text

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.
