Abstract
This work presents a highly Ultraviolet (UV) light sensitive and reliable Front Side Illumination (FSI)-photodiode, utilizing an atomically flat Si surface for uniform thin surface drift layer formation, achieving nearly 100% internal Quantum Efficiency (Q.E.) across UV-Visible-Near-IR light spectrum. The developed photodiode process aligns with current manufacturing processes for FSI-photodiodes, arrayed sensors, and image sensors.
