Abstract: A device for detecting a chemical species including a Geiger mode avalanche photodiode, which comprises a body of semiconductor material delimited by a front surface. The semiconductor body includes: a cathode region having a first type of conductivity, which forms the front surface; and an anode region having a second type of conductivity, which extends within the cathode region starting from the front surface. The detection device further includes: a dielectric region, which extends on the front surface; and a sensitive region, which is arranged on top of the dielectric region and electrically coupled to the anode region and has a resistance that depends upon the concentration of the chemical species.

Abstract: A charge-balance power device includes a semiconductor body having a first conductivity type. A trench gate extends in the semiconductor body from a first surface toward a second surface. A body region has a second conductivity type that is opposite the first conductivity type, and the body region faces the first surface of the semiconductor body and extends on a first side and a second side of the trench gate. Source regions having the first conductivity type extend in the body region and face the first surface of the semiconductor body. A drain terminal extends on the second surface of the semiconductor body. The device further comprises a first and a second columnar region having the second conductivity, which extend in the semiconductor body adjacent to the first and second sides of the trench gate, and the first and second columnar regions are spaced apart from the body region and from the drain terminal.

Abstract: A diagnostic device includes a photodiode formed by a body of semiconductor material having a first surface, an integrated optical structure on the first surface and having a second surface, and at least one detection region on the second surface. The at least one detection region includes at least one receptor that binds to a corresponding target molecule that can be mated with a corresponding marker, which, when excited by radiation having a first wavelength, emits radiation having a second wavelength that can be detected by the photodiode. The integrated optical structure includes at least a first layer of a first material having a first refractive index. The first layer has a thickness substantially equal to an integer and odd multiple of one fourth of the first wavelength divided by the first refractive index.
