In order to improve spectrum sensitivity of photodiode for detection of the laser at 850 nm ~ 1000 nm of near-infrared wavelength band, this study has produced silicon-based fast film PIN photodiode and analyzed electrical and optical properties. The manufactured device is packaged in TO-18 type. The electrical properties of the dark currents both Anode 1 and Anode 2 have valued of approximately 0.055 nA for 5 V reverse bias, while the capacitance showed 19.5 pF at frequency range of 1 kHz and about 19.8 pF at the range of 200 kHz for 0 V. In addition, the rising time of output signal was verified to have fast response time of about 30 ns for 10 V. For the optical properties, the best spectrum sensitivity was 0.66 A/W for 880 nm, while it was relatively excellent value of 0.45 A/W for 1,000 nm.

The fabrication and characterization of a Si/ZnO thin film heterojunction ultraviolet photodiode has been presented in this paper. ZnO thin film of ~100 nm thick was deposited on <100> Silicon (Si) wafer by atomic layer deposition (ALD) technique. The Photoluminescence spectroscopy confirms that as-deposited ZnO thin film has excellent visible-blind UV response with almost no defects in the visible region. The room temperature current-voltage characteristics of the n-ZnO thin film/p-Si photodiodes are measured under an UV illumination of $650{\mu}W$ at 365 nm in the applied voltage range of ${\pm}2V$. The current-voltage characteristics demonstrate an excellent UV photoresponse of the device in its reverse bias operation with a contrast ratio of ~ 1115 and responsivity of ~0.075 A/W at 2 V reverse bias voltage.

This paper proposed a new solid State Relay(SSR) structure that can replace the conventional SSR as a power IC. The photodiode arrays, the main part of this structure, were designed and integrated in the same power It chip with the output parts, LDMOSFET and BJT, on a SOI substrate. The fabrication of this input part shared the same output LDMOSFET fabrication processs, except the additional deposition of Silicon nitride($Si_3N_4$) for the photo-detection part. According to LED illumination intensites and photo detecting areas, we could obtain voltage of 0.49V ${\~}$0.52V and current of 5.5uA ${\~}$ 108uA respectively from the fabricated unit photodiode. The maximum value of the voltage and the current we could obtain from the photodiode array were 3.58V and 24.4uA respectively, and the voltage was enough to operate the output LDMOSFET

In this paper, the image sensor using the a-Si:H TFT is proposed. The optimum amorphous silicon thin film is deposited using plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). TFT and photodiode both with the thin film are fabricated and form image sensor. The photodiode shows that Idark is $10^{-12}A$, Iphoto is $10^{-9}A$ and Iphoto/Idark is $10^3$, respectively. In the case of a-Si:H TFT, it indicates that Ion/Ioff is $10^6$, the drain current is a few ${\mu}A$ and Vth is $2\~4$ volts. For the analysis on the fabricated image sensor, the reverse bias of -5 voltage in ITO of photodiode and $70{\mu}sec$ pulse in the gate of TFT are applied. The image sensor with good property was conformed through the measured photo/dark current.

In the fiber-photodiode(PD) coupling module using v-groove, the paraxial approximation is no longer valid because the beam enters obliquely the PD substrate with the angle of $20^{\circ}$ after being reflected from the $55^{\circ}$ mirror formed by anisotropically etching of the (100) silicon wafer. In this paper, we study the beam profile incident on the PD active area and fiber-PD coupling efficiency for this case.

In this research, the PN junction type Si photodiodes have been fabricated on the low doped P type(Na=7x10**14 cm**-3) and N type (Nd=4x10**14cm**-3) (100) silicon substrates. We could find out that the dark current was lower in the N type substrate than in the P type substrate. Some well designed photodiodes showed relatively good optical and electronic characteristics that the dark current is lower than 5 nA at 10V of reverse bias condition, that the breakdown voltage is higher than 250V, and that the quantum efficiency is larger than 86% at the wavelength of $6328{\AA}$

교류 전기장에 의해 배열된 ZnO 나노선 기반의 광다이오드를 제작하고 자외선 광특성을 조사하였다. ZnO 나노선은 dielectrophoresis (DEP) force와 토크 (T)에 의하여 두 전극사이에 배열되며, silicon (Si)나노선과 접합을 하여 p-n 접합을 형성한다. 형성된 p-n 접합은 정류작용을 하는 다이오드 특성을 보이며, 자외선 입사시 전류 점멸비 (on/off ratio) $10^1{\sim}10^2$을 보이는 광다이오드(photodiode)로서 동작한다.
