21 October 2004Silicon quadrant detector in CMOS technology
An optoelectronic device that detect visible light is designed in silicon technology, peaking in 650 nm wavelength. The quadrant detector (QD) derive photocurrents by projecting a light spot on four photodiodes placed close to each other on a silicon common substrate. The photodetector is square shaped with 2.25 mm2 per active area by each quadrant and the size of the device is 9 mm2. This work describes a technology to develop position sensitive detectors of four quadrant optimizing geometry to increase sensitivity. We propose to integrate sensor into complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology in order to improve photodetector out signal, reducing noise generated when photodetector is so far from data acquisition system.
