Abstract:
A semiconductor device structure is described for reducing radiation induced current flow caused by incident ionizing radiation. The structure comprises a semiconductor substrate; two or more regions of a first conductivity type in the substrate; and a guard ring of a second conductivity type for obstructing radiation induced parasitic current flow between the two or more regions of the first conductivity type. The structure may be used in a pixel, e.g. in a diode or a transistor, for increasing radiation resistance.
