Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a SPAD photodiode starts with the delimitation of a formation area for the SPAD photodiode in a layer of semiconductor material that is doped with a first dopant type. Dopant of a second dopant type is implanted in the layer of semiconductor material to form a buried region within the formation area. An epitaxial layer is then grown on the layer of semiconductor material at least over the formation area. MOS transistors are then formed on and in the epitaxial layer at locations outside of the formation area.

Claim (Index 8):
The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the epitaxial layer has a thickness of between 1 and 2 \u03bcm.
