The invention relates to an optoelectronic device including a control circuit, a pixel comprising a photodetector, a light-emitting diode, and an intermediate region interposed between the photodetector and the light-emitting diode. The photodetector is sensitive to a detection wavelength λ. The light-emitting diode comprises an active stack with a cutoff wavelength Ac shorter than λand a buried electrode interposed between an interconnection stack of the circuit and the active stack, and covers a detection surface of the photodetector. The device furthermore comprises a via passing right through the active stack and extending as far as the interconnection stack; an electrical contact passing right through the active stack, in contact with the buried electrode; an electrical path electrically connecting the buried electrode to the control circuit and including the electrical through-contact and the via. The intermediate region is devoid of metal and the buried electrode is transparent to λ.

Optoelectronic device including a light-emitting diode stacked on a photodetector

A method of obtaining a doped semiconductor layer, including the successive steps of: a) performing, in a first single-crystal layer made of a semiconductor alloy of at least a first element Aand a second element A, an ion implantation of a first element B which is a dopant for the alloy and of a second element C which is not a dopant for the alloy, to make an upper portion of the first layer amorphous and to preserve the crystal structure of a lower portion of the first layer; and b) performing a solid phase recrystallization anneal of the upper portion of the first layer, resulting in transforming the upper portion of the first layer into a doped single-crystal layer of the alloy.

Doped semiconductor layer forming method

A method of manufacturing an optoelectronic device, including: a) transferring, onto a connection surface of a control circuit, an active diode stack including at least first and second semiconductor layers of opposite conductivity types, so that the second semiconductor layer in the stack faces the connection surface of the control circuit and is separated from the connection surface of the control circuit by at least one insulating layer; b) forming in the active stack trenches delimiting a plurality of diodes, the trenches extending through the insulating layer and emerging onto the connection surface of the control circuit; and c) forming in the trenches metallizations connecting the second semiconductor layer to the connection surface of the control circuit.

A method of manufacturing an optoelectronic device, including: a) transferring, onto a surface of a control circuit, a diode stack including first and second semiconductor layers of opposite conductivity types, so that the second layer is electrically connected to metal pads of the control circuit; b) forming in the active stack trenches delimiting a plurality of diodes connected to separate metal pads of the control circuit; c) depositing an insulating layer on the lateral walls of the trenches; d) partially removing the insulating layer to expose the sides of the portions of the first layer delimited by the trenches; and e) forming a metallization coating the lateral walls and the bottom of the trenches and contacting the sides of the portions of the first layer delimited by the trenches.
