    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods are provided for reducing electrical and optical crosstalk in photodiodes. A photodiode may include a first layer with passive material, the passive material having no electric field. The photodiode may include a second layer with an absorbing material, the second layer above the first layer. The photodiode may include a diffused region with a buried p-n junction. The photodiode may include an active region with the buried p-n junction and having an electric field greater than zero. The photodiode may include a plateau structure based on etching through the second layer to the first layer, the etching performed at a distance of fifteen microns or less from the buried p-n junction.
