Abstract

A semiconductor light wave detector which has a first layer of a highly doped n-type semiconducting substrate, a second layer of a highly doped n-type semiconducting material, a third layer of a distinct intrinsic semiconducting material and a fourth layer of a highly doped n-type semiconducting material similar to the second layer. First and second electrical connections are provided to the fourth layer and to at least one of the first and second layers. A plurality of pairs of Dirac-delta doped monoatomic layers are in the third layer, with the first monoatomic layer of each pair being a layer of donors and with the second monoatomic layer of each pair being acceptors spaced from the donor layer and positioned on the side thereof facing the fourth layer.
