    • A high gain photodetector[10] requiring a substantially smaller space than prior art photodetectors having the same gain. The photodetector[10] includes a light converter[31, 42] for converting a light signal to a current; and a first vertical transistor[32]. The first vertical transistor[32] includes a first well[51] in a semiconductor substrate[41], the first well[51] including a diffusion region, the semiconductor substrate[41] and the diffusion having a first type of doping and the first well[51] having a second type of doping. The first type of doping is either P-type or N-type, and the second type of doping is the other of the P-type or N-type doping. The light converter[31, 42] is connected to the first well[51] so as to forward bias the vertical transistor thereby causing a current to flow between the diffusion region in the first well [51] and the substrate. Additional amplification of the photocurrent from the light converter[31, 42] can be provided by including a second verticai transistor[33]. The second vertical transistor[33] includes a second well[61] in the semiconductor substrate[41], the second well[61] including a second diffusion region[63]. The semiconductor substrate[41] and the second diffusion having the first type of doping and the second well[61] having the second type of doping. The first vertical transistor[32] and the second vertical transistor[33] are connected as a Darlington pair. The amplified current from the vertical transistor(s) is converted to a voltage by a current to voltage converter[20].
