MUMBAI, India, July 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202644001288 A) filed by Canon Kabushiki Kaisha on January 06, 2026, for Photoelectric Conversion Element, Photoelectric Conversion Device, And Equipment.
Inventor includes Shinohara, Mahito -.
The application for the patent was published on July 10, 2026, under issue no. 28/2026.
Abstract: A photoelectric conversion element, provided in a semiconductor layer having a first face and a second face opposite to the first face, includes a first semiconductor region of a first conductivity type arranged over a first depth from the first face, a second semiconductor region of a second conductivity type arranged to surround the first semiconductor region in a plan view and having a peak of an impurity concentration at a second depth between the first face and the first depth, and a third semiconductor region of the second conductivity type arranged closer to the second face than the first semiconductor region to the second face and configuring an avalanche photodiode with the first semiconductor region. A boundary face of the second semiconductor region on a side of the second face is located closer to the first face than the first depth to the first face. [Figure 9]
