Abstract:
An exemplary stacked photodetector assembly includes a first wafer and a second wafer bonded to the first wafer. The first wafer includes a SPAD and has a thickness T 1  configured to minimize absorption by the first wafer of photons included in light incident upon the first wafer while the SPAD is in a disarmed state. The second wafer has a thickness T 2  configured to provide structural support for the first wafer. The stacked photodetector assembly includes a fast gating circuit electrically coupled to the SPAD and configured to arm and disarm the SPAD.

Claim (Index 14):
A stacked photodetector assembly comprising:\n a first wafer including\n a single photon avalanche diode (SPAD), and \n a fast gating circuit electrically coupled to the SPAD and configured to arm and disarm the SPAD, \n the first wafer having a thickness T 1  configured to minimize absorption by the first wafer of photons included in light incident upon the first wafer while the SPAD is in a disarmed state; and \n a second wafer having a thickness T 2  bonded to the first wafer in a stacked configuration and configured to provide structural support for the first wafer, the second wafer not including circuitry configured to control the SPAD.
