Global InGaAs PIN Photodiode Industry Outlook


Product Definition:


An InGaAs PIN photodiode is a type of semiconductor photodiode that uses an intrinsic or lightly doped p-type layer to create a p-i-n junction. This junction allows the device to act as both a photodetector and a photoconductor. The InGaAs PIN photodiode has higher sensitivity than other types of semiconductor photodiodes and is often used in applications where high detection speed or low noise performance are required.


High Speed InGaAs:


High speed InGaAs is a new technology for producing high-speed, single-crystal semiconductors with an increased bandgap. The growth factor in the InGaAs PIN photodiode market is High Speed InGaAs technology which provides a significant performance advantage over conventional materials such as silicon and gallium arsenide.


The key driver of this industry is the need for higher switching frequency.


Large Active Area Photodiode:


Large active area photodiode is a type of photodiode with an external quantum efficiency greater than 0.3 and smaller than 0.8, which makes it suitable for applications such as biosensors, image sensors, and optical communications.

In addition, increasing adoption of InGaAs photodiodes for wavelength conversion, signal amplification, optical detection, and other purposes is projected to fuel industry growth over the coming years. Furthermore, an increase in telecom infrastructure spending by governments worldwide is likely to augment industry expansion over the next eight years or so.


The physics & chemistry measurement application segment was valued at USD 57 million in 2017 owing to rising use of PIN photodiodes as detectors in various spectroscopic studies including Raman scattering.


Regional Analysis:


Asia Pacific dominated the global inGaAs PIN photodiode market with a revenue share of over 35% in 2016. This is attributed to the presence of key players such as Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd, and Sony Corporation that are engaged in extensive research on semiconductor materials for various applications. The region is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period owing to increasing demand from end-use industries such as electronics and optoelectronics.


The Asia Pacific regional market includes countries such as China, Japan, South Korea, Singapore among others that have a high concentration of industry participants along with government support for science & technology related activities. These factors are anticipated to contribute toward higher adoption rates across this region during the forecast period which will result into increased demand for InGaAs PIN photodetectors used in various applications including optical communications and other physics & chemistry measurement devices requiring light detection capability at very low power consumption levels.


Growth Factors:


  • Increasing demand for InGaAs PIN photodiodes from the optoelectronics and telecommunications industries on account of their superior performance characteristics as compared to other types of photodiodes.
  • Proliferation of optical fiber networks across the globe, which is resulting in an increase in demand for high-speed optical receivers that use InGaAs PIN photodiodes.

Frequently Asked Questions?


An InGaAs PIN photodiode is a type of photodiode that usesPIN diodes as its light-sensitive elements. PIN diodes are made up of a p-type semiconductor material and an n-type semiconductor material, with the p-type material located on the front side of the diode and the n-type material located on the back side. When light shines onto a PIN diode, it causes electrons to flow from the p-side to the n-side, which creates an electric current.

Some of the major companies in the ingaas pin photodiode market are Hamamatsu Photonics, OSI Optoelectronics, Cosemi Technologies, QPhotonics, Kyosemi Corporation, AC Photonics Inc, PD-LD, Photonics, Laser Components, Voxtel, Thorlabs.
