siliconenphotosensor
A silicon photosensor is a semiconductor device that converts light energy into an electrical signal. Silicon is a widely used material for photosensors due to its abundance, relatively low cost, and its suitable bandgap for detecting visible and near-infrared light. These sensors operate based on the photoelectric effect, where incident photons strike the silicon material and excite electrons, creating electron-hole pairs.
The performance of a silicon photosensor is characterized by several key parameters, including spectral response, sensitivity,
Silicon photosensors are manufactured using various techniques, often involving doping silicon with other elements to create
Applications for silicon photosensors are extensive and include light meters, cameras, optical communication systems, industrial automation,
