Abstract
A photodetecting device and a method for constructing the photodetecting device. The photodetecting device provides at least one transistor formed over a substrate and at least one photodiode formed over the at least one transistor. Each of the at least one photodiode is coupled to one of the at least one transistor. The fill factor of the photodiode is very high even when the resolution of the photodetecting device is increased. The photodetecting devices are formed in a matrix having rows and columns. The matrix of photodetecting devices forms a two dimensional imaging device.
