Abstract:
1. A method for manufacturing a light-receiving device, the method comprising the steps of: forming a stacked semiconductor layer including a non-doped light-receiving layer on a substrate, the light-receiving layer having an n-type conductivity; forming a selective growth mask made of an insulating film on the stacked semiconductor layer, the selective growth mask having a pattern including a plurality of openings; selectively growing a selective growth layer doped with a p-type impurity on each portion of the stacked semiconductor layer that is exposed through each of the openings by using the selective growth mask; and forming a plurality of p-n junctions in the light-receiving layer by diffusing the p-type impurity doped in each selective growth layer into the light-receiving layer, wherein each p-n junction is formed during the step of selectively growing a selective growth layer, each of the p-n junctions corresponds to one of the selective growth layers, and at least one p-n junction in the light-receiving layer is formed separately from other p-n junctions in the light-receiving layer.
