The reliability of 1.550m-wavelength InGaAs mesa waveguide photodiodes(WGPDs), which developed for 40-Gbps optical receiver applications, fabricated by metal organic chemical vapor deposition is investigated. Reliability is examined by both high-temperature storage tests and the accelerated life tests by monitoring dark current and breakdown voltage. The median device lifetime and the activation energy of the degradation mechanism are computed for WGPD test structures. From the accelerated life test results, the activation energy of the degradation mechanism and median lifetime of these devices in room temperature are extracted from the log-normal failure model by using average lifetime and the standard deviation of that lifetime in each test temperature. It is found that the WGPD structure yields devices with the median lifetime of much longer than $10^6$ h at practical use conditions. Consequently, this WGPD structure has sufficient characteristics for practical 40-Gbps optical receiver modules.

We have simultaneously fabricated LTPS TFTs and integrated photodiodes on the same glass substrates without any additional LTPS process. The structure of an integrated photodiode is a lateral p-i-n diode with a gate. The performances of a photodiode were improved at a negative gate voltage.

In order to analyze the blooming suppression mechanism of a MOS image sensor, test photodiodes have been fabricated and characterized by attaching a source follower circuit. The blooming suppression ability of npn structure compared to that of np structure is quantitatively analyzed and measured by experiment. The dependency of the blooming current on the substrate voltage, the vertical MOS gate voltage and the video voltage is measured and the optimum condition for blooming suppression is presented.

An artificial retina using thin-film photodiodes (TFPDs) and thin-film transistors (TFTs) is proposed. The characteristics of a TFPD and TFTs are measured, and the circuits of the retina pixel and retina array are designed. It is confirmed that the artificial retina can achieve edge enhancement and control photo-sensitivity.

A sensor system was developed to measure displacement of civil structure at a long distance. A He-Ne Laser tube and photodiodes ware used for non-contact measurement. This system allows real time vibration displacement measurement of bridges. The measured displacement data is displayed on computer monitor graphically and also in digit. The accuracy of the displacement measurement shows 2mm in vertical vibration. It shows remote inspection of the vibration of long bridges and buildings.

In automotive industry, light weight vehicle is one of issues because of air pollution. Therefore, automotive manufacturers have tried to apply light materials such as aluminum to car body. Welding aluminum using laser has some advantages good weld quality and high productivity. In this study, light emission which is generated in aluminum 6k21 welding with laser is measured using photodiodes. Analysis of relationship between sensor signals of welding variables and formation of keyhole and plasma is performed.

The performance of the InGaAs/InP avalanche photodidodes operated in Geiger-mode was investigated for 1550nm wavelengths at room temperature. We find the optimal operating points where the high quantum detection efficiency and low dark current are achieved. For the optical pulse detection, the gated-mode is used to reduce the dark current.

In this paper, an optical switching circuit and several types of all-optical transmitter/receiver circuits which are configured with photodiodes, multiple quantum-well(MQW) optical modulators, and field-effect transistors(FETs) were simulated using PSPICE and their results of these are examined and discussed. 20 $\mu\textrm{m}$ ${\times}$ 20 $\mu\textrm{m}$ of window size was used for the optical modulators and 100 $\mu\textrm{m}$ wide FETs with the transconductance value of 55 mS/mm were used for the simulations. Simulation results clearly show that in order for the high speed operation of the all-optical circuits, the size of each device should be minimized to reduce the parasitic capacitance, the circuits should be designed to operate at the wavelength where the resposivity of photodiodes becomes the maximum peak, and the use of short, high-intensity input optical signal beams is very advantageous.

The organic light emitting diode (OLED) is proposed as the novel source in the microchip because it has ideal merits (various wavelengths, thin-film structure and overall emitting) for the integration. In this paper, we fabricated the finger-type pin photodiodes for fluorescence detection and the advanced microchip with OLED integrated pn the microchannel. The finger-type in the diode design extended the depletion region and reduced the internal resistance about 31.2% than rectangular-type. The photodiodes had a 100pA leakage current and a 8720 sensitivity $(I_{Light}/I_{Dark})$ at -1 V bias. The interference filter with 32 layers ($SiO_2$, $TiO_2$) was directly deposited on the photodiode. The OLED was fabricated on the ITO coated glass and was bonded with LOC. The application of thin-film OLED increased the excitation efficiency and simplified the integration process extremely. The prototype device of this application had a superior sensitivity of 100nM-LOD in the fluorescence detection.
