FLEXIBLE LATERAL PIN DIODES AND THREE-DIMENSIONAL ARRAYS AND IMAGING DEVICES MADE THEREFROM

摘要

Flexible lateral p-i-n ("PIN") diodes, arrays of flexible PIN diodes and imaging devices incorporating arrays of PIN diodes are provided. The flexible lateral PIN diodes are fabricated from thin, flexible layers of single-crystalline semiconductor. A plurality of the PIN diodes can be patterned into a single semiconductor layer to provide a flexible photodetector array that can be formed into a three-dimensional imaging device.
