TO18 metal housing

10mW/cm² peak radiation results in a current of approx. 700 nA

About the material

(Aluminium) Gallium Nitride (Al)GaN(Al)GaN is a new semiconductor material for visible blind UV photodiodes. By modification of the Al - to - Ga stoichiometry it is possible to produce photodiodes with different spectral behaviour. This allows to offer Photodiodes sensible for broad band UV (UVA+UVB+UVC), for UVB-only and for UVC only without using a filter.
