A light-receiving device has a high-concentration impurity layer of a first conductivity type and a high-concentration impurity layer of a second conductivity type surrounding it formed on a substrate of the first conductivity type having a low impurity concentration so as to function as a light-receiving portion. The high-concentration impurity layers of the first and second conductivity types are arranged in the same direction as the top surface of the substrate. A layer having a short carrier...
