Abstract:
A photodiode device and method of manufacturing the same are disclosed. A stack of functional layers of the photodiode device, formed of crystalline semiconductor material, may be formed on a diamond substrate. The stack of functional layers may be in contact with or close proximity to the diamond substrate to thereby provide an efficient thermal conductive path between the functional layers and an external source, thereby mitigating problems that may result from overheating the photodiode device.

Claim (Index 21):
A method of manufacturing a photodiode device, comprising:\n forming a first photodiode semiconductor structure attached to an upper surface of a first diamond layer at a bottommost layer of the photodiode semiconductor structure, the bottommost layer of the first photodiode semiconductor structure and the upper surface of the first diamond layer being separated by no more than 7 microns, forming the first photodiode semiconductor structure including epitaxially growing a plurality of crystalline material layers, the plurality of crystalline material layers comprising an n-type semiconductor material layer, an intrinsic semiconductor material layer and a p-type semiconductor material layer; and patterning the plurality of crystalline material layers to form the first photodiode semiconductor structure.
