Makers zero in on packaging

Suppliers in South Korea are constantly updating their design and production capabilities, as packaging techniques are vital to photodiodes’ overall performance.
The area of concentration for South Korea’s photodiode industry is primarily photodiode packaging rather than chip production. Photodiode chips used by local companies are mostly sourced from Taiwan. Different packaging styles have distinct impact on electro-optical characteristics, as well as the temperature range the devices can withstand. Among South Korea makers, ceramic, metal and plastic packaging technologies are standard, but other types may be accommodated per arrangement.

Although South Korea has only a handful of photodiode companies, most are actively exporting to Japan, China and the United States. Photodiode production and packaging services are generally offered alongside other product lines—LEDs, photo interrupters, phototransistors and sensors, to name a few.
