It is stated that the response of the MSM type light receiving element is fast.

- Patent Document 5 describes a photovoltaic device using solar energy.
- one of two electrodes sandwiching a plurality of spherical semiconductors having pn junctions is provided with periodically arranged openings or recesses.
- the depletion layer is made thinner and the area is reduced for high-speed photoelectric conversion.
- Patent Document 6 even if a single opening is provided, a row of periodic grooves is provided around it, so that there is no row of periodic grooves!
- An optical transmission device that can be enhanced in comparison is described.

- the total energy of light transmitted through an aperture with a diameter of 40% or less of the wavelength is incident. Attenuates to less than 1% of light energy. So this optical transmission A high signal-to-noise ratio cannot be obtained even if the light receiving element is irradiated with light propagated from the device.
