Abstract

A light receiving device includes: a photoelectric converter including a photodiode and a first pixel electrode disposed on a lower surface of the photodiode; a scanning circuit connected to the first pixel electrode; an electrode pad disposed on a periphery of the scanning circuit; a transparent conductive film extending from an upper surface of the photodiode to the electrode pad, the transparent conductive film having an inclination relative to the upper surface of the photodiode, between the photodiode and the electrode pad; and a sealing resin filled in a space between the photoelectric converter and the scanning circuit, and in a space under the transparent conductive film around the photoelectric converter.

Claims (17)

1. A light receiving device comprising:

a photoelectric converter including a photodiode and a pixel electrode disposed on a lower surface of the photodiode;

a scanning circuit connected to the pixel electrode;

an electrode pad disposed on a periphery of the scanning circuit;

a transparent conductive film extending from an upper surface of the photodiode to the electrode pad, the transparent conductive film having an inclination relative to the upper surface of the photodiode, between the photodiode and the electrode pad; and

a sealing resin filled in a space between the photoelectric converter and the scanning circuit, and in a space under the transparent conductive film around the photoelectric converter,

wherein the sealing resin does not reach the electrode pad on the scanning circuit.

2. The light receiving device according to claim 1 , wherein the inclination of the transparent conductive film relative to the upper surface of the photodiode is at 45 degrees or less.

3. The light receiving device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the scanning circuit includes a housing,

the housing has a side surface surrounding the photoelectric converter and having an inclination relative to the upper surface of the photodiode, and

the transparent conductive film is formed on the side surface of the housing.

4. The light receiving device according to claim 1 , wherein the pixel electrode and the scanning circuit are connected by a microbump.

5. The light receiving device according to claim 4 , wherein the sealing resin reaches an edge of the upper surface of the photodiode.

6. The light receiving device according to claim 4 , wherein the sealing resin partially covers the upper surface of the photodiode.

7. The light receiving device according to claim 6 , wherein the sealing resin partially covering the upper surface of the photodiode has a light shielding effect for the photodiode.

8. The light receiving device according to claim 1 , further comprising a unit for applying, to the photodiode, a voltage having a magnitude which causes a charge multiplication effect in the photodiode.
