Abstract

We fabricated general photo diode, surface etched photo diode and floating gate MOSFET by CMOS process. In a design stage, we expect that surface etched photo diode will be improved as to photo sensitivity. However, because the surface of silicon was damaged in etching process, the surface etched diode had a high dark current as well as low photo current level. Finally, we examined the current-voltage properties for the floating gate MOSFET on n-well and confirmed that the device can be act as an efficient photo-sensor. The floating gate MOSFET was operated in parasitic bipolar transistor mode.
