Abstract

A radiation receiver has a semiconductor body including a first active region and a second active region, which are provided in each case for detecting radiation. The first active region and the second active region are spaced vertically from one another. A tunnel region is arranged between the first active region and the second active region. The tunnel region is connected electrically conductively with a land, which is provided between the first active region and the second active region for external electrical contacting of the semiconductor body. A method of producing a radiation receiver is additionally indicated.
