Abstract
The photodiode device has an electrically conductive cathode layer () at a photodiode layer () composed of a semiconductor material. Doped anode regions () are situated at a top side of the photodiode layer facing away from the cathode layer. A trench () subdivides the photodiode layer. A conductor layer () is arranged in or at the trench and electrically conductively connects the cathode layer with a cathode connection (). Anode connections () are electrically conductively connected with the anode regions.
