US Patent 11610932 Photodetecting device with enhanced collection efficiency

A photodetecting device includes a substrate, a first photosensitive layer supported by the substrate, and a second photosensitive layer supported by the substrate and adjacent to the first photosensitive layer, each of the first photosensitive layer and the second photosensitive layer being coupled to a first doped portion having a first conductivity type, and a second doped region having a second conductivity type different from the first conductivity type, wherein the first photosensitive layer is separated from the second photosensitive layer, and the first doped portion coupled to the first photosensitive layer is electrically connected to the first doped portion coupled to the second photosensitive layer.
