Abstract
A multiplicity of components form a photodiode array on a substrate. Each of the components consists of a transistor of the p-n-p type with the outermost p-doped layer being transformed into an optical filter by control of the anodic etching operation utilizing transistor characteristics of the respective transistor. The result can provide red, blue and green filters in a color camera.
