Webinar: Learn How TCAD is a Key Enabler for Photodiode Development
February 23 @ 10:00 AM - 10:30 AM

When: February 23, 2023
Where: Online
Time: 10:00am-10:30am-(PST)
Language: English
Photodiodes are a key technology to many growing application areas. Automotive vision systems, advanced industrial machinery, and high-speed communications systems all rely on photodiodes to link optical inputs into usable electrical signals.
In this webinar, Silvaco will discuss these technologies, and how TCAD can be broadly applied to multiple detector topology and material sets, thereby enabling multiple end-user markets. Additionally, we will detail simulation and analysis of an InGaAs Avalanche Photodiode. Through this demonstration, it will be shown how TCAD can be used to explore and characterize diode performance and extract the key Figures of Merit. Through TCAD, photodiode designers and technologists can increase their device performance, while decreasing engineering manufacturing and test cycles.
