Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A method of forming an avalanche trench optical detector device on a semiconductor substrate, comprising forming a first set and a second set of trenches in the substrate, wherein trenches of the first set are alternately disposed with respect to trenches of the second set, filling the trenches with a doped sacrificial material, and annealing the device to form a multiplication region in the substrate. The method comprises etching the doped sacrificial material from the first set of trenches, filling the first set of trenches with a doped material of a first conductivity, etching the doped sacrificial material from a second set of trenches, and filling the second set of trenches with a doped material of a second conductivity. The method further comprises providing separate wiring connections to the first set of trenches and the second set of trenches.
