PHOTODIODE CHIPS

A photodiode chip is a semiconductor device that converts light into an electrical current. It is a type of photodetector that is widely used in a variety of applications such as cameras, optical communication systems, and light sensors.

The basic structure of a photodiode chip consists of a p-n junction that is created by doping a layer of n-type semiconductor material with impurities to create a region of p-type semiconductor material. When photons of light enter the chip and strike the p-n junction, they create electron-hole pairs that are separated by the electric field created by the p-n junction. This separation of charge creates a current that can be measured and used as a signal.

There are many different types of photodiode chips available, each with its own unique properties and characteristics. Some of the most common types include PIN photodiodes, avalanche photodiodes, and Schottky photodiodes.

PIN photodiodes are widely used in low-light applications because they have a high responsivity and low noise characteristics. Avalanche photodiodes, on the other hand, are used in high-speed applications because they have a fast response time and can detect weak signals. Schottky photodiodes are used in high-frequency applications because they have a low capacitance and a high switching speed.

Photodiode chips are semiconductor devices that convert light into electrical signal. We offer a number of photodiode chips with active area from 25um to 5000um with sensitivity from visible to infrared spectrum for various applications, including spectroscopy, scientific research, fiberoptic communications, medicine etc. The photodiodes we offer are based on various semiconductor materials, such as GaAs, Si, InGaAs, Ge, InSb etc. InGaAs photodiodes are used as receiving devices in fiberioptic communications and are produced both in top and bottom illuminated options. Silicon photodiodes feature high speed response, sensitivity and low noise.
