Photodiode developed by Korea University can be used in autopilot lidar

According to foreign media reports, a team of researchers at Pohang University of Science and Technology in South Korea has developed a near-infrared (NIR) silicon photodiode, which is one-third more sensitive than existing photodiodes.

Existing near-infrared photodiodes are usually made of chemical materials and require a separate cooling device, which is difficult to integrate. A group of researchers led by Professor Chang-Ki Baek of Pohang University of Science and Technology used hourglass silicon nanowires to increase the absorption of infrared light by silicon.

Located above the nanowire, the inverted nanocone prolongs the residence time of near-infrared-shortwave infrared (SWIR) photons by generating echo wall resonance, while the nanocone below can re-absorb incident light from nearby nanowires due to low reflectivity .

Compared with the existing flat silicon photoelectron diodes, the nanowire's response to near-infrared light has increased by 29% at a wavelength of 1000 nm. The researchers used the newly developed photodiode in the mobile heart rate measurement system and found that the new photodiode has higher sensitivity and an error rate of less than 1% compared to the existing photodiode.

Silicon for manufacturing photodiodes can be mass-produced at low cost. Potential applications include lidar, medical lasers, night vision, and image sensors for autonomous vehicles. (Author: Yuqiu Yun)
