    Abstract: A photodiode structure augmented with active area photosensitive regions is used for detecting impinging radiation. The photodiode includes a semiconductor base layer doped with impurities of a first carrier type, a field oxide layer disposed upon the base layer with an opening formed therethrough, a plurality of auxiliary oxide layers wherein each is separately disposed upon the base layer, and a semiconductor diffusion layer doped with impurities of a second carrier type arranged upon the base layer and in contact with the oxide layers. When the photodiode is electrically energized, a plurality of integral photosensitive regions is created within the depletion region to facilitate the detection of impinging radiation at an increased quantum efficiency.

    Abstract: A photodiode includes a substrate having a first semiconductor type surface region on at least a portion thereof, and a second semiconductor type surface layer formed in a portion of the surface region. A multi-layer anti-reflective coating (ARC) is on the second semiconductor type surface layer, wherein the multi-layer ARC comprises at least two different dielectric layers. A layer resistant to oxide etch is above a peripheral portion the multi-layer ARC. Further layers are above the layer resistant to oxide etch, and thereby above the peripheral portion the multi-layer ARC. A window extends down to the multi-layer ARC. A photodiode region is formed by a pn-junction of the first semiconductor type surface region and the second semiconductor type surface layer.
