An optical semiconductor device includes, in a zone (5), a structure of
photosensitive diodes including a matrix (6) of lower electrodes (7), an
intermediate layer (9) made of a photosensitive material formed on the
matrix of lower electrodes and at least one upper electrode (10a) formed
on the intermediate layer, in which an electrical connection (3a)
includes at least one electrical contact pad (7a) and at least one
electrical connection pad (16a) are produced beneath the intermediate
layer, at least one electrical connection via (14) is produced through
the intermediate layer and connects the upper electrode to the electrical
contact pad and at least one well (15a) is formed outside the zone (5)
and passes through at least the intermediate layer (9) in order to expose
the electrical connection pad (16a). Also provided is a process for
fabricating such a device.
