摘要: A lateral single-photon avalanche diode comprises a semiconductor body (1) of first type conductivity which includes base layer (10), further (11) on the and second (12) layer. The have an intrinsic doping or concentration that is lower than Thereby, high electric field region essentially confined to (11). doped (5) opposite arranged in body, penetrates extends into Anode cathode terminals (3, 4) are electrically connected region, respectively. can be produced by filling trench (19) with polysilicon.
