Abstract
An optoelectronic device is provided. The optoelectronic device includes a photodetector including a light-absorption region, 2N control contact layers electrically coupled to the light-absorption region, and 2N readout contact layers electrically coupled to the light-absorption region, wherein N is a positive integer larger than or equal to 2.
Claims17
An optoelectronic device, comprising:
- a photodetector comprising a light-absorption region, 2N control contact layers electrically coupled to the light-absorption region, 2N readout contact layers electrically coupled to the light-absorption region, 2N carrier control regions each located under a corresponding control contact layer, and comprising 2N carrier collection regions each located under a corresponding 2N readout contact layer, wherein each of the 2N carrier collection regions is of a first conductivity type different from a second conductivity type of each of the 2N carrier control regions;
- and
- 2N readout circuits, each electrically coupled a corresponding control contact layer, wherein N is a positive integer larger than or equal to 2.
