Abstract
The present disclosure describes a throughput-scalable photon sensing system. The system includes a plurality of semiconductor dies sharing a common semiconductor substrate and a plurality of photon detection sensors configured to perform a single molecule analysis of biological or chemical samples. Two immediately neighboring photon detection sensors are arranged on respective two semiconductor dies separated by a dicing street. Each photon detection sensor is arranged on a separate semiconductor die. The system further includes a first optical waveguide, a plurality of second optical waveguides disposed above the first optical waveguide, one or more wells disposed in the plurality of second optical waveguides, and one or more light guiding channels.
