Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a high output signal and to permit high-speed read by superimposing layers of an amorphous semiconductor material to form phototransistors wherein a photo signal is fed to a base layer region to fetch an output signal from an emitter or a collector. CONSTITUTION:A photo sensor 100 has a plurality of phototransistor structures (only two are shown in a drawing). Picture element electrodes 102 by a light permeable conductive material are formed with predetermined pattern and pitch on a transparent substrate 101 and emitter layers 3 composed of an N type amorphous semiconductor material and base layers 104 composed of a P type amorphous semiconductor material are formed on the electrodes 102. Furthermore, a belt-shaped collector layer 105 is stacked to cover each picture element base layer 4. An ohmic layer 106 and a common electrode 107 are formed on the layer 105. Shading layers 108 are provided between each element. The amorphous semiconductor material is Si or Ge containing hydrogen or halogen.
