Abstract

Un circuit intégré comprend au moins une diode à effet d'avalanche déclenché par photon individuel « SPAD » (SPD) comportant une jonction PN, dans un caisson semiconducteur (P-) dopé avec un premier type de dopant, entre une première région dopée (PAN) avec le premier type de dopant et une deuxième région dopée (N+) avec le deuxième type de dopant opposé au premier type de dopant. La première région dopée (PAN) est façonnée de manière à incorporer des variations locales de la concentration des dopants, adaptées pour engendrer une variation monotone du potentiel électrostatique (Pot) entre la première région dopée (PAN) et le caisson semiconducteur (P-), lorsque la tension entre la deuxième région dopée (N+) et le caisson semiconducteur (P-) est supérieure ou égale au niveau de la tension de claquage (Vb) de la jonction PN. Figure de l’abrégé : figure 2A.
