A buried P-N junction photodiode is obtained in LinBiCMOS process with junctions formed between N+DUF diffused region and both first P-EPI layer and second P-EPI layer. Contact to N+DUF diffused region is made by a small area deep N+collector diffusion or N well diffusion. This novel buried-junction photodiode can be used for several types of unique photodetector structures including: single photodiode with low surface leakage current, multi-junction photodiodes for incident light spectral distribution information and higher efficiency visible response photodetectors. The disclosed structures are compatible with bipolar and CMOS processes for providing on-chip integration of optical photodetectors with Linear ASIC standard cells and other circuit functions.
