Problems solved by technology

[0006] The problem to be solved is because the circuit function of the existing photodiode integrated circuit is to convert the output of the photodiode by current / voltage (IV) and calculate the output to extract the focus tracking signal of the optical disc, and obtain the sum of these outputs as the The RF signal used as the data signal of the disc, so the noise of the RF signal increases, and thus increases the S / N ratio

Embodiment Construction

[0042] A first example of an embodiment of a semiconductor device according to the present invention is described with reference to a cross-sectional view of a schematic structure shown in FIG. 1 . FIG. 1 illustrates an example of a semiconductor device including a plurality of photodiodes electrically isolated from a semiconductor substrate employing an SOI (Silicon On Insulator) substrate.

[0043] As shown in FIG. 1 , an SOI (Silicon On Insulator) substrate is used in which an insulating layer 12 is formed on a semiconductor substrate 11 and a silicon layer is formed on the insulating layer 12 . The insulating layer 12 is formed of a silicon oxide film. P + Type impurities are introduced into the silicon layer. The silicon layer serves as the P + Type buried layer 13. For example, the impurity concentration of the buried layer 13 is set to be higher than or equal to 1×10 16 / cm 3 and less than or equal to 1×10 22 / cm 3 value. P - Type low concentration layer 14 is...

Abstract

A semiconductor device (1) has a plurality of photodiodes (20) on a semiconductor substrate (11). The photodiodes (20(20a, 20b)) have cathodes (22) and a common anode (21), which are formed electrically independent of the semiconductor substrate (11). In the photodiodes having the common anode (21) and the separated cathodes (22), the output from the common anode (21) is treated as equivalent to the sum of the outputs of the separated photodiodes (20). Alternatively, a plurality of photodiodes have a common cathode and a plurality of separated anodes, and the output from the common cathode is treated as equivalent to the sum of the outputs of the separated photodiodes. The anode and cathode of a photodiode are completely isolated electrically from the substrate, whereby noise and crosstalk can be reduced.
