Title:
IMAGE SENSOR BASED ON CHARGE CARRIER AVALANCHE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2022/110097
Kind Code:
A8
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is an image sensor comprising: a plurality of avalanche photodiodes (APDs); wherein each of the APDs comprises a radiation absorption layer that comprises an absorption region and an amplification region; wherein the absorption region is configured to generate charge carriers therein from a particle of radiation absorbed by the radiation absorption layer; wherein the absorption region comprises an InGaAs layer sandwiched between InP layers; wherein the amplification region has an electric field therein, the electric field having a field strength sufficient to cause an avalanche of the charge carriers in the amplification region.
