AP Technologies is extending its long and successful relationship with Opto Diode to include the range of silicon photodiodes
AP Technologies is pleased to announce that they are extending their long and successful relationship with Opto Diode Corporation to include their range of silicon photodiodes.
Martin Sharratt, managing director of APT, said: "We have worked with ODC's world-leading LED technology for over 15 years and are very pleased to extend this relationship to cover their silicon detectors".
Over the past three years ODC has invested significantly in a dedicated Class 1000 clean room with state-of-the-art photolithography and wafer-processing equipment at its Camarillo, California facility and its manufacturing facilities are said to be second-to-none in the silicon photodiode industry.
Sharratt commented "ODC is one of the few companies which can use both diffusion and ion-implantation processes on the same wafer.
"This enables it to achieve unique combinations of performance characteristics which I am confident will be of great benefit to our many silicon photodiode customers in the UK and Ireland".
"A prime example is the excellent responsivity at the Nd:YAG wavelength of 1064nm - a figure of 0.4A/W is twice the industry standard at this wavelength".
ODC offers standard detectors from 1mm to 42mm with blue/visible and red/NIR spectral enhancements and can also supply bi-cell, quadrant and linear array configurations with custom photodiode configurations being produced within 4-6 weeks of order.
It is also supplying hybrid detector-preamplifier devices.
ODC's investment in automated wafer-testing, die attach, wirebonding and capping for their high volume LED business means they are able to supply high quality hermetic TO-style packaged photodiodes in high volumes with short leadtimes and excellent pricing.
