Abstract
An imaging device comprises a first pixel disposed in a substrate. The first pixel may include a first material disposed in the substrate, and a second material disposed in the substrate. A first region of the first material, a second region of the first material, and a third region of the second material form at least one junction. A first lateral cross section of the substrate intersects the at least one junction, and a second lateral cross section of the substrate intersects at least one fourth region of the first material.
