Original Abstract Submitted

A pixel includes a first doped region of a first conductivity type and a second doped region of a second conductivity type. The first doped region includes first and second layers forming a heterojunction. A dopant concentration of the first layer is greater than a dopant concentration of the second layer. The first layer is made of a semiconductor material and the second layer includes quantum dots. The second doped region is in contact with the second layer, with the first layer being laterally surrounded by an insulated conductive wall that is biased to a negative voltage.
