An avalanche photodiode includes a substrate; an avalanche multiplying layer, a p-type electric field controlling layer, a light-absorbing layer, and a window layer sequentially laminated on the substrate. A p-type region is present in parts of the window layer and the light-absorbing layer. Carbon is the dopant of the electric field controlling layer. Zn is the dopant of the p-type region. A bottom face of the p-type region is closer to the substrate than is an interface between the light-absorbing layer and the window layer.

A semiconductor light detecting device includes an n-contact layer selectively disposed on an Fe—InP substrate. An optical waveguide layer is disposed on the n-contact layer and includes an n-cladding layer, a light absorption layer, and a p-cladding layer, laminated on one another over the n-contact layer, in that order. An Fe—InP current blocking layer is disposed on the n-cladding layer such that sides of the optical waveguide layer are buried in the Fe—InP current blocking layer. A p-electrode includes a contact electrode electrically connected to the p-cladding layer of the optical waveguide layer, a lead-out electrode portion extending on a side wall of the current blocking layer from the contact electrode and extending on the Fe—InP substrate, and an electrode pad disposed on a surface of the Fe—InP substrates with an SiN film between the electrode pad and the surface of the Fe—InP substrate and connected to the lead-out electrode portion.

A laminated structure including an InGaAs light absorption layer and an InP window layer on a n-type InP substrate. A p-type diffusion layer region is formed in an InP window layer. A depletion layer between the n-type InP substrate and the p-type diffusion layer region is formed when a voltage is applied between a cathode electrode and an anode electrode. The depletion layer is thicker in at least a portion of a region under the anode electrode than in a light detecting portion. In this case, the diffusion depth of the p-type diffusion layer region may be smaller in at least the portion of the region under the anode electrode than in the light detecting portion.
