Abstract

The invention concerns an electromagnetic radiation detection structure (10) comprising at least one absorbing element defining an absorption plane, and a MOSFET transistor (100). The transistor comprises: at least one first and at least one second zone (111, 112) of a first type of conductivity; at least one third zone (113) separating the first and second zones (111, 112) from each other; and a gate electrode. The first zone (111), the third zone (113) and the second zone (112) are formed respectively by a first, a third and a second layer that extend in the absorption plane parallel to each other and are arranged one after another in a direction perpendicular to the absorption plane. The gate electrode covers the third zone (113) along at least one lateral wall of said third zone (113).
