Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Provided are light detection devices and methods of manufacturing the same. The light detection device includes a first conductive pattern on a surface of a substrate, an insulating pattern on the substrate and having an opening exposing at least a portion of the first conductive pattern, a light absorbing layer filling the opening of the insulating pattern and having a top surface disposed at a level substantially higher than a top surface of the insulating pattern, a second conductive pattern on the light absorbing layer, and connecting terminals electrically connected to the first and second conductive patterns, respectively.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A light detection device comprising: a silicon substrate; a first conductive pattern formed in a top surface of the silicon substrate using dopants provided into the silicon substrate, the first conductive pattern having a top surface; an insulating pattern on the top surface of the silicon substrate and on a first portion of the top surface of the first conductive pattern, the insulating pattern having an opening exposing a second portion of the top sur…
