    Abstract: A photodetector array includes a substrate, and an array of pixels over the substrate. Each pixel includes a set of diffraction gratings directly on a semiconductor photodetector. A pitch of the set of diffraction gratings associated with each pixel in the array of pixels are different to enable each pixel to detect a specific wavelength of light different than other pixels of the array of pixels. An air cavity may be provided in the substrate under the germanium photodetector to improve light absorption. A method of forming the photodetector array is also disclosed.

    Abstract: A structure includes a semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) substrate including a semiconductor substrate, a buried insulator layer over the semiconductor substrate, and an SOI layer over the buried insulator layer. The structure also includes a first active device and a second active device. At least one polycrystalline active region fill shape is in the SOI layer. A polycrystalline isolation region is in the semiconductor substrate under the buried insulator layer. The polycrystalline isolation region is under the first active device, but not under the second active device. The polycrystalline isolation region extends to different depths into the semiconductor substrate. The first and second active devices may include monocrystalline active regions, and a third polycrystalline active region may also be in the SOI layer over the polycrystalline isolation region.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a semiconductor structure with a photodiode including: a well region with a first-type conductivity in a substrate, a trench in the well region, and multiple conformal semiconductor layers in the trench. The semiconductor layers include a first semiconductor layer, which is, for example, an intrinsic semiconductor layer and lines the trench, and a second semiconductor layer, which has a second-type conductivity and which is on the first semiconductor layer within (but not filling) the trench and which also extends outside the trench onto a dielectric layer. An additional dielectric layer extends over and caps a cavity that is at least partially within the trench such that surfaces of the second semiconductor layer are exposed within the cavity. Fluid inlet/outlet ports extend to the cavity and contacts extend to the well region and to the second semiconductor layer. Also disclosed are methods for forming and using the semiconductor structure.
