Look inside a science fiction computer, and you’ll probably see tubes and cubes that emit light. Of course, it’s for effect, ...

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 ...

As health sensors continue to shrink while expectations rise, the latest silicon PIN photodiode from Vishay Intertechnology bridges the gap between compact size and high optical performance. The newly ...

Geiger-mode avalanche photodiodes (GM-APDs) are highly sensitive light detectors, capable of detecting single photons. Photons of certain wavelengths, when absorbed by photodiodes, generate ...

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 ...

Building a photodetector that works across a range of applications does not have to be complicated. In this post, we will break down a universal design concept that is flexible, practical, and ready ...

Researchers developed a single photodiode sensor that detects full-color light using perovskite materials, impedance data, and machine learning algorithms. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Conventional ...

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 ...

Imec and its partners in the Belgian project Q-COMIRSE presented a first-of-its-kind prototype shortwave infrared (SWIR) image sensor with indium arsenide quantum dot photodiodes at the 2024 IEEE ...
