Abstract: A single photon avalanche diode (SPAD) includes a PN junction in a semiconductor well doped with a first type of dopant. The PN junction is formed between a first region doped with the first type of dopant and a second region doped with a second type of dopant opposite to the first type of dopant. The first doped region is shaped so as to incorporate local variations in concentration of dopants that are configured, in response to a voltage between the second doped region and the semiconductor well that is greater than or equal to a level of a breakdown voltage of the PN junction, to generate a monotonic variation in the electrostatic potential between the first doped region and the semiconductor well.

Abstract: A photodiode is formed in a semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type. The photodiode includes a first region having a substantially hemispherical shape and a substantially hemispherical core of a second conductivity type, different from the first conductivity type, within the first region. An epitaxial layer covers the semiconductor substrate and buries the first region and core.

Abstract: A device includes a single photon avalanche diode in a portion of a substrate, wherein the portion has an octagonal profile. The octagonal profile is delimited by a wall forming an octagonal contour around the portion. The device further includes an array of diodes, wherein each diode is located in a corner between four adjacent single photon avalanche diodes. Each single photon avalanche diode further includes a doped anode region. A shallow trench isolation is formed in each doped anode region. A polysilicon line forming a resistor is supported at the upper surface of the shallow trench isolation.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a SPAD photodiode starts with the delimitation of a formation area for the SPAD photodiode in a layer of semiconductor material that is doped with a first dopant type. Dopant of a second dopant type is implanted in the layer of semiconductor material to form a buried region within the formation area. An epitaxial layer is then grown on the layer of semiconductor material at least over the formation area. MOS transistors are then formed on and in the epitaxial layer at locations outside of the formation area.
