    Abstract: Systems and methods of the disclosed embodiments include a semiconductor device structure having a semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor substrate has a first major surface, an opposing second major surface, a first doped region of a first conductivity type disposed beneath the first major surface, and a semiconductor region of the first conductivity type disposed between the first doped region and the second major surface. The semiconductor device may also include a trench isolation structure, comprising a conductive trench filling enclosed by an insulating trench liner. The trench isolation structure extends from the first major surface through the first doped region and into the semiconductor region. The semiconductor device may also include a semiconductor device disposed with a drain structure, and a connection structure formed between the conductive trench filling of the trench isolation structure and the drain region.

    Abstract: Circuitry is provided that includes a first die, a second die, and a third die that are vertically stacked. The second die may have a front side facing the third die and a back side facing the first die. The first die can include a plurality of single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs). The second die can include a plurality of switches coupled to cathode terminals of the plurality of SPADs in the first die. The third die can include digital readout logic coupled to the plurality of switches in the second die. The plurality of switches in the second die can be power using a high voltage and are sometimes referred to as analog high voltage switches. The digital readout logic in the third die can be power using a voltage that is lower than the high voltage being used to power the second die.
