Abstract

A photodetector includes a first cell for converting incident light into electric charges, the first cell including a first semiconductor layer, a second semiconductor layer and a first substrate interposing the first semiconductor layer with the second semiconductor layer; and a second cell for converting incident light into electric charges, the second cell including a third semiconductor layer, a fourth semiconductor layer, and a second substrate interposing the third semiconductor layer with the fourth semiconductor layer; wherein the second substrate is larger in thickness than the first substrate.
