Abstract
An array of at least two photodiodes, wherein each photodiode includes an absorption region and a capture region, the capture region including an electrically conductive pad, the absorption region being in contact with the capture region, the absorption region being configured to absorb an incident radiation on the photodiode and to enable a diffusion of charge carriers, in which each absorption region is separated from the other absorption regions, and wherein the absorption region of each photodiode has a convex shape towards the incident radiation.
