Patent attributes
A method of fabricating a detector, the method including forming an island of detector core material on a substrate, the island having a horizontally oriented top end, a vertically oriented first sidewall, and a vertically oriented second sidewall that is opposite said first sidewall; implanting a first dopant into the first sidewall to form a first conductive region that has a top end that is part of the top end of the island; implanting a second dopant into the second sidewall to form a second conductive region that has a top end that is part of the top end of the island; fabricating a first electrical connection to the top end of the first conductive region; and fabricating a second electrical connection to the top end of the second conductive region.
