Abstract
A semiconductor light-receiving device has a substrate including upper, middle and lower regions in its front side. A p-type layer on the lower region has a top surface including a portion on a level with the middle region. An electrode covers at least part of the boundary between the portion of the p-type layer and the middle region. An n-type layer on the p-type layer has a top surface including a portion on a level with the upper region. Another electrode covers at least part of the boundary between the portion of the n-type layer and the upper region.
