Abstract
An electric component comprising an assembly of two PIN diodes in series formed in a semiconductor substrate layer separated from a support layer by an insulating layer, the doped areas forming the electrodes of each diode having a depth equal to that of the substrate layer, the component including a first area of a first doping type surrounded with a second intrinsic area, itself surrounded with a third area of a second doping type, the third area being surrounded with a fourth area of the first doping type, the fourth area being surrounded with a fifth intrinsic area, itself surrounded with a sixth area of the second doping type, the third and fourth areas being covered and connected by a metal area, each of the first and sixth areas being connected to a contact pad on which rests a welding ball.
