Abstract
A photodetecting device includes a substrate, an array of sub-pixels, and a lens array covering the array of sub-pixels. Each sub-pixel includes a photosensitive layer supported by the substrate, the photosensitive layer being configured to absorb photons and generate photo-carriers, a first doped portion formed in the photosensitive layer of the respective sub-pixel, wherein the first doped portion includes dopants with a first conductivity type; and a second doped portion formed in the substrate, wherein the second doped portion includes dopants with a second conductivity type different from the first conductivity type. The array further includes an isolation region separating two or more sub-pixels of the array, a routing layer formed on the substrate configured to electrically couple a circuit to multiple sub-pixels of the array. The lens array includes a spacer portion and a plurality of lenses arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with each of the sub-pixels.
