Abstract
According to some embodiments, a device is provided. The device comprises at least one semiconductor structure, comprising: a base portion and an elongated portion extending from the base portion, the elongated portion comprising a non-conducting material, and a plurality of P-type-N-type (P-N) junction branches positioned at different sections of the elongated portion. Each P-N junction branch comprises a photoactive diode having a photoactive area, and a conductor. Each P-N junction branch has a width, where the widths of the plurality of P-N junction branches decrease with increasing distance from the base portion, and where the semiconductor structure is configured to absorb photons over a range of wavelengths to which each P-N junction branch is photoactive.
