Microfabrication

Silicon

API processes silicon photodiodes to exacting specifications, offering UV, blue, NIR and 1.06 micron enhanced spectral performance. Our wafer fabrication facility in Michigan supports programs from initial prototyping runs to high-volume production. We process n-type, p-type and epitaxially grown wafers. The wafer fabrication processes in both locations are statistically monitored to ensure repeatability and uniformity in every application.
