New Planar Diffused UV Photodiodes Now Available from AMS Technologies

OSI Optoelectronics has released two new families of planar diffused UV photodiodes: the UV-EQ / EQC / EK series and the UV-DQ / DQC / DK series.

Special features:

  • The new silicon is processed for enhanced responsivity over 200-400nm and to guarantee sensitivity down to 190nm (EQ, EQC, DQ, DQC).
  • The DK and EK series are sensitive down to 320nm and offer hermetic package at a lower cost.
  • The response in the NIR region has been suppressed (EQ and EQC).

The photodiodes feature metal or ceramic package with quartz or borosilicate window. These detectors can be reverse biased for lower capacitance, faster response and wider dynamic range applications. They are ideal for UV spectrophotometers, analytical instruments and medical instrumentation.

The products of OSI Optoelectronics are available from AMS Technologies and will be exhibited at Optatec 2010, Frankfurt, Germany, 15-18 June 2010, AMS Technologies stand # F40.
