Abstract:
Photodiode structures and methods of manufacture are disclosed. The method includes forming a waveguide structure in a dielectric layer. The method further includes forming a Ge material in proximity to the waveguide structure in a back end of the line (BEOL) metal layer. The method further includes crystallizing the Ge material into a crystalline Ge structure by a low temperature annealing process with a metal layer in contact with the Ge material.

Claim (Index 2):
The structure of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one metal filled via in electrical contact with the single crystalline Ge structure, and at least one capping layer between the at least one metal filled via and the single crystalline Ge structure.
