The invention relates to a vertical charge transfer type
photon demodulator and a working method thereof. The upper surface of a
semiconductor is provided with a modulation-
demodulation part, and the lower surface of the
semiconductor extends to the bottom of a substrate to form a photosensitive part; the photosensitive part converts photons into
photon-generated carriers, photo-generated
electron-hole pairs are separated by using a vertical
electric field, and electrons or holes are vertically transported to the surface of a
semiconductor for optical
signal demodulation. The two charge collection regions are 1.8 V, the modulation switch I is connected with 1.2 V, the modulation switch II is connected with 0V, the substrate
electrode is grounded, a transverse
electric field is generated at the upper part of the semiconductor substrate, and a vertical
electric field is generated in other regions; photons are absorbed by the semiconductor and excite an
electron-hole pair, the
electron-hole pair is separated under the action of an electric field, and electrons move upwards to the surface of the semiconductor; and under the action of a transverse electric field, the electrons further move to the vicinity of a charge collection region and enters a
depletion region generated by the electrons through
diffusion to form a light current
signal. The
photon demodulator is small in size and high in sensitivity and
quantum efficiency.
