Abstract:
An optoelectronic device with a semiconductor body that includes: a bottom cathode structure, formed by a bottom semiconductor material, and having a first type of conductivity; and a buffer region, arranged on the bottom cathode structure and formed by a buffer semiconductor material different from the bottom semiconductor material. The optoelectronic device further includes: a receiver comprising a receiver anode region, which is formed by the bottom semiconductor material, has a second type of conductivity, and extends in the bottom cathode structure; and an emitter, which is arranged on the buffer region and includes a semiconductor junction formed at least in part by a top semiconductor material, different from the bottom semiconductor material.
