Abstract

See full text

In one preferred embodiment, a semiconductor photodiode is provided which includes a substrate layer fabricated from a Si32 radioisotope of a first type of conductivity material and a thick-field oxide layer formed on the substrate layer. The oxide layer has a selectively patterned area to form an open region on the substrate layer. The semiconductor photodiode further includes a dopant material of a second conductivity material, which is different from the first conductivity material. The dopant material is formed within the open region on the substrate layer to form a photodiode junction. The semiconductor photodiode further includes an enclosure package enclosing the semiconductor diode for containing any radiation from the radioisotope.
