Abstract:
The invention aims for an avalanche photodiode comprising an absorption zone ( 2 ), a multiplication zone ( 3 ), a first electrode and a second electrode. The photodiode further comprises a waveguide ( 10 ) forming a curved closed circuit capable of guiding a luminous flux over several turns of said circuit. The absorption zone extends over a portion at least of said waveguide, and the multiplication zone, the first and second electrodes extend along one part at least of the curved closed circuit. The waveguide is preferably an edge waveguide forming a ring and comprising an absorption zone made of germanium of width less than 200 nm. The photodiode according to the invention has an improved compacity and an improved bandwidth while limiting the multiplication noise.

Claim (Index 7):
The avalanche photodiode according to  claim 6 , wherein the core comprises a guide material different from a material of the absorption zone and\n wherein the guide material fully surrounds the absorption zone.
