Available as a single element and as a 4- or 8-element array, the FCI-InGaAs-300B1XX backside-illuminated photodiode arrays are designed for flip-chip or traditional mounting to an optical plane for ...
If you were asked to design a camera sensor, you'd naturally put the photo receptors on top, closest to the light. Oddly enough, because of the way chips are fabricated, until recently most camera ...
Fig. 1. (a) Epitaxy and mesa structure of the proposed MUTC-PD. (b) Simulated RF power versus photocurrent. (c) Electric field distributions in the depletion region at different photocurrents. (d) SEM ...
Researchers have demonstrated visible-blind avalanche photodiodes capable of detecting single photons in the ultraviolet region (360-200 nm). This is a world's first for demonstrating back-illuminated ...
Flip-and-Lap in the fab moves image array to front of imager, which yields sharper, more sensitive pixels, but wafer bonding step adds cost. Tessera Technologies reports a conflict (and resolution) ...
Editor’s note: This article will be in two parts. Part 1 is component-related and Part 2 is applications. Please also see Planet Analog blog “LEDs Are Photodiodes Too” as an intro to this article.
High-speed, high-efficiency photodetectors play an important role in optical communication links that are increasingly being used in data centres to handle higher volumes of data traffic and higher ...
How the latest developments have improved the performance of the sensors in our cameras. Sensor technology has come a long way since the CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) sensors used in the original ...
