Abstract: The paper describes a platform for quick characterization of photodiodes exploring low reverse bias performance for various sensing applications. We demonstrated the method on a widely used ...

This week, at the IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM 2025), imec, a research and innovation hub in advanced semiconductor technologies, successfully demonstrated the integration of ...

Nearly everything is easily accessible through your phone — especially photos. So, there’s a certain charm to having a physical keepsake of your favorite moments. One of my favorite ways to ...

Over the past decades, computer scientists have developed increasingly sophisticated sensors and machine learning algorithms that allow computer systems to process and interpret images and videos.

Normally when you think solar projects, you think of big photovoltaic cells. But a photodiode is just an inefficient, and usually much smaller, PV cell. Since [Pocket Concepts]’s Solar_nRF has such a ...

Semiconductor laser diodes (SLDs) are often packaged with a photodiode. The output current from this photodiode can be monitored to regulate the output power intensity of the laser diode. SLDs, ...

It’s a common and even correct refrain that today’s cars are increasingly becoming computers on wheels. That reality is largely keyed to implementation of more sensor inputs and actuator outputs for ...

Detecting infrared light is critical in an enormous range of technologies, from remote controls to autofocus systems to self-driving cars and virtual reality headsets. That means there would be major ...

Researchers developed a type of infrared photodiode that is 35% more responsive at 1.55 m, the key wavelength for telecommunications, compared to other germanium-based components. Detecting infrared ...
