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 12):
The stacked photodetector assembly of  claim 1 , wherein:\n the capacitor is connected to the SPAD; the voltage source is configured to selectively connect to the capacitor to charge the capacitor with the bias voltage, the bias voltage having a magnitude that is equal to or less than a breakdown voltage of the SPAD; and the fast gating circuit further comprises:\n an additional voltage source configured to supply a reverse excess bias voltage having a magnitude that is less than the magnitude of the bias voltage; and \n a switch configuration configured to put the SPAD into the armed state by connecting the additional voltage source to an input node of the SPAD while the capacitor is both charged with the bias voltage and disconnected from the voltage source.
