X-ray detector substrate based on photodiodes with a radial pin junction structure

摘要

The present application discloses a photodiode structure including multiple light trapping elements. Each light trapping element includes an N-type silicon layer with a recessed structure therein, an intrinsic silicon layer disposed overlying the N-type silicon layer including a side region and a bottom region inside the recessed structure, and a P-type silicon layer disposed as an inner layer overlying the intrinsic silicon layer inside the recessed structure. A radial PIN junction is formed around a nominal axis of the recessed structure.
