    Abstract: According to an aspect of the present inventive concept there is provided a photo-sensitive device comprising: a stack forming a photodiode, which stack comprises a photon-absorbing layer, wherein the photon-absorbing layer is configured to generate charges in response to incident light on the photo-sensitive device, defining a photo-sensitive region, wherein a guard ring structure is arranged along a boundary of the photo-sensitive region, said guard ring structure comprising a third electrode layer being physically and electrically separated from the first electrode layer, and an insulator layer, wherein the photo-sensitive device is configured to apply a bias voltage to provide an electric potential difference between the photo-sensitive region and the guard ring structure, to thereby electrically suppress crosstalk.
