Semiconductor arrangement and formation thereof
A semiconductor arrangement and method of formation are provided herein. A semiconductor arrangement includes an active area on a substrate, where the active area is at least one of a p-type region or an n-type region. The substrate includes a well, where the well is a p-well when the active area is a p-type region, and the well is an n-well when the active area is an n-type region. The well includes a photodiode. The active area is connected to a voltage supply having a voltage level, such as ground. The active area on the substrate increases a distance between the photodiode and the active area, which reduces junction leakage as compared to a semiconductor arrangement where the active area is formed at least partially within the substrate.
