Are there photodiode fabs that give the P and N length scales?

In summary, a photodiode fab is a specialized facility that produces photodiodes, which are electronic devices that convert light into electrical current. These facilities use specialized equipment and techniques to create highly sensitive and precise photodiodes for various applications. The P and N length scale of a photodiode refers to the size and distance of the P and N layers within the device, which play a crucial role in its performance. Different fabs may specialize in specific P and N length scales to meet the unique requirements of different applications. To find a photodiode fab that offers specific P and N length scales, you can research and compare different facilities or consult with experts and companies with experience in photodiode production.

I am interested in purchasing Si, GaAs and/or Ge PN and PIN photodiodes, where the manufacturer would also supply the length scales as well as the doping, of the P, I and N layers. Commercial suppliers don't reveal this information

Welcome to PF.
That information is considered to be the Intellectual Property of the manufacturer.
There are many different PIN diodes. You will need to specify your application and the specific electrical requirements.
 

1. What is a photodiode fab?

A photodiode fab, short for photodiode fabrication facility, is a specialized manufacturing plant that produces photodiodes. Photodiodes are semiconductor devices that convert light into electrical current.

2. What are P and N length scales in relation to photodiode fabs?

In photodiode fabrication, P and N length scales refer to the size and dimensions of the P-type and N-type regions within the photodiode. These regions are crucial in determining the performance and characteristics of the photodiode.

3. Are there different types of photodiode fabs?

Yes, there are different types of photodiode fabs that specialize in producing different types of photodiodes such as PIN photodiodes, avalanche photodiodes, and phototransistors. Each type of photodiode requires specific fabrication processes and techniques.

4. How do photodiode fabs determine the P and N length scales?

The P and N length scales are determined through a combination of design specifications, material selection, and fabrication processes. The design specifications dictate the desired size and dimensions of the P and N regions, while the material properties and fabrication techniques influence the final size and dimensions of these regions.

5. Can photodiode fabs customize the P and N length scales for specific applications?

Yes, photodiode fabs have the capability to customize the P and N length scales for specific applications. This involves adjusting the design specifications, material selection, and fabrication processes to meet the specific requirements of the application.
