    Abstract: A light detector amplifier preferably fabricated as a monolithic integrated circuit has high speed of response (in the order of 1 microsecond) at low and high illumination levels, uses low quiescent power and supply voltage, and has an optional thyristor or power transistor output. A transistor preamplifier conducts in the quiescent state and reverse biases a photodiode. Upon illumination, current is diverted to the photodiode and a power amplifier is energized to produce an output which can also provide gating current for a thyristor output. Enhanced performance is obtained by the use of special components, and unique placement of components within the circuit. Voltage excursions are limited in the circuit at several points by current steering, pre-biasing and diode clamping techniques.

    Abstract: A monolithic or discrete photodiode has a patterned region, preferably in the form of elongated strips or fingers, with a spacing less than the diffusion length to obtain low capacitance without loss of photo response. Enhanced efficiency is achieved by the use of surface skin regions and/or a buried layer to confine generated carriers, and by a structure that effects combination of the epitaxial layer-substrate photodiode with the finger photodiode. The low capacitance photodiode is sensitive to visible and infrared light and is useful in high speed circuit applications.
