Abstract
A semiconducting structure configured to receive electromagnetic radiation, a method for manufacturing such a structure, and a semiconductor component, the semiconductor structure including: a first semiconducting area of a first type of conductivity, a second semiconducting area of a second type of conductivity opposite to the first type of conductivity, the second area being in contact with the first area to form a semiconducting junction. The second area includes a portion for which a concentration of majority carriers is at least ten times less than a concentration of majority carriers of the first area. The second area and its portion are essentially made in a first cavity configured to focus in the first cavity at least one portion of the electromagnetic radiation.
