Abstract
According to the present invention, a method for manufacturing a rear surface incident type light receiving device including a substrate, a light receiving unit formed on a surface of the substrate and an electrode formed on the light receiving unit and electrically connected to the light receiving unit includes a first step of performing, after formation of a part of the electrode, a characteristic inspection of the rear surface incident type light receiving device by applying a probe to a part of the electrode and a second step of reducing an area of the electrode in a plan view.
Claims8

- a substrate;
- a light receiving unit formed on a surface of the substrate;
- and
- an electrode formed on the light receiving unit and electrically connected to the light receiving unit,
- wherein an outermost diameter of a surface of an uppermost part of the electrode is larger than an outermost diameter of a surface of a lowermost part of the electrode.
A method for manufacturing a rear surface incident type light receiving device including a substrate, a light receiving unit formed on a surface of the substrate and an electrode formed on the light receiving unit and electrically connected to the light receiving unit, wherein an outermost diameter of a surface of an uppermost part of the electrode is larger than an outermost diameter of a surface of a lowermost part of the electrode, a lowermost layer among layers forming the electrode is a mirror electrode, and the mirror electrode reflects light incident from a rear surface of the substrate, a plating power feeding layer, a first plating layer, and a second plating layer are formed above the mirror electrode in this order as layers forming the electrode, the first plating layer and the second plating layer are each formed using Au as a plating material, and the second plating layer is an uppermost layer of the electrode comprising:
