Si Photodiodes Selection guide
2021-10-08
●Lineup of Si photodiodes for UV to near IR, radiation
●Photodiodes are semiconductor light sensors that generate a current or voltage when the P-N junction in the semiconductor is illuminated by light. The term photodiode can be broadly defined to include even solar batteries, but it usually refers to sensors used to detect the intensity of light. Photodiodes can be classified by function and construction as follows:
■Si photodiode
■Si PIN photodiode
■Si APD (avalanche photodiode)
●All of these types provide the following features and are widely used for the detection of the presence, intensity and color of light.
■Excellent linearity with respect to incident light
■Low noise
■Wide spectral response range
■Mechanically rugged
■Compact and lightweight
■Long life
●Si photodiodes manufactured utilizing our unique semiconductor process technologies cover a broad spectral range from the near infrared to ultraviolet and even to high-energy regions. They also feature high-speed response, high sensitivity and low noise. Si photodiodes are used in a wide range of applications including medical and analytical fields, scientific measurements, optical communications and general electronic products. Si photodiodes are available in various packages such as metal, ceramic and plastic packages as well as in surface mount types.
