    Abstract: Embodiments related to controlling of photo-generated charge carriers are described and depicted. At least one embodiment provides a semiconductor substrate comprising a photo-conversion region to convert light into photo-generated charge carriers; a region to accumulate the photo-generated charge carriers; a control electrode structure including a plurality of control electrodes to generate a potential distribution such that the photo-generated carriers are guided towards the region to accumulate the photo-generated charge carriers based on signals applied to the control electrode structure; a non-uniform doping profile in the semiconductor substrate to generate an electric field with vertical field vector components in at least a part of the photo-conversion region

    Abstract: A transistor device includes: a semiconductor substrate having a doping concentration of a first dopant type; a highly doped source region of a second dopant type formed in a first surface of the semiconductor substrate; a first highly doped drain region of the second dopant type formed in the first surface; a gate structure arranged on the first surface and including a gate electrode formed on the first surface; and a first lightly doped region formed in the first surface and extending from the highly doped source region under the gate electrode. A channel region extends between the first lightly doped region and the highly doped drain region. The channel region has an average doping level of the first dopant type of n×10x that varies by less than 0.5×n×10X between the first lightly doped region and the highly doped drain region along the lateral direction parallel to the first surface.

    Abstract: An optical sensor device configured to detect a time of flight of an electromagnetic signal includes a semiconductor substrate having a main surface and a conversion region configured to convert at least a fraction of the electromagnetic signal into photo-generated charge carriers; a first control electrode formed in a trench extending from the main surface into the semiconductor substrate; a second control electrode disposed directly or indirectly on the main surface; a control circuit configured to apply a varying first potential to the first control electrode and to apply a varying second potential to the second control electrode, where the varying second potential has a fixed phase relationship to the first varying potential, to generate electric potential distributions in the conversion region to direct the photo-generated charge carriers; and a readout node arranged in the semiconductor substrate and configured to detect the directed photo-generated charge carriers.
