The key idea of this book is that it allows authors to deal with a wide range of backgrounds and recent research progresses in photodiode-related areas. Most of the material in this book was developed for the researchers in the field of optical or optoelectronic devices and circuits. A substantial proportion of the material is original and has been prepared by the authors of each book chapter specifically for this book. With re‐ spect to the original collection of the book chapters, this book contains several improve‐ ments and several new problems and related solutions are also discussed in the area of fun‐ damental physics and characteristics, and the device and the circuit applications. For editing this book, I have assumed that readers are well acquainted with the basic con‐ cepts of semiconductor physics fundamentals, especially with regard to: physical electron‐ ics; electronic materials; semiconductor processes; semiconductor device engineering; elec‐ tronic and optoelectronic circuits, etc. The book is intended for at least three kinds of readers: a) graduate students of intermediate and advanced courses in microelectronics or optoelectronics, who are presumed to be most‐ ly interested in photodiode-related applications; b) engineers in the area of optoelectronic devices, who are especially interested in optical sources and optical detectors; c) professio‐ nal researchers of many areas of applications (not restricted to microelectronics or optoelec‐ tronics or photonics). This book consists of 4 sections: Section 1 contains the fundamental concepts of photon absorption in photodiodes. In addi‐ tion, the physical design scheme of the high-performance avalanche heterophotodiodes is presented to guide the engineers how to design avalanche heterophotodiodes to optimize their performances in specific applications. Section 2 contains the fabrication of photodiode-based devices, such as solar cells, photodio‐ des, and focal plane arrays. Especially, the standards of optical radiation measurements us‐ ing photodiodes are also addressed. Section 3 describes various types of photodiodes as device applications. It includes the ultra- violet (UV) photodiodes, the infra-red (IR) photodiodes, compound semiconductor photodi‐ odes for specific wavelength, and wide bandgap solar cells. Section 4 presents the photodiode-related circuit applications. Here, the noise performance of CMOS image sensor is investigated in time-domain analysis and the high-speed Optoe‐ lectronic Integrated Circuit (OEIC) fabricated by monolithic integration of photodiode and amplifier is surveyed. In presenting this book, I would like to express my thanks to the authors who participate in writing for each book chapter and followed my construct comments, constructive criticism, and useful suggestions. They include: Toshiaki Kagawa, Viacheslav Kholodnov, Mikhail Ni‐ kitin, Sergey Dvoretsky, S. M. Iftiquar, V.V. Vasiliev, Ana Luz Muñoz Zurita, Lung-Chien Chen, Volodymyr Tetyorkin, Yong-Gang Zhang, Fernando de S. Campos, Iftiquar Sk, Aryan Afzalian, and others. I especially wish to express my sincere thanks to Ms. Romina Skomersic, Publishing Process Manager in InTech-Open Access Publisher, for the valuable publishing suggestions. More‐ over, I wish to thank the InTech-Open Access Publisher for helping in the typing adjustment and for revising the English text for each book chapter. Finally, I would like to thank for my wife, Hyun Jung Cha, and my two adorable sons, Jiho and Joonho Yun, for their sincere care and support during the whole summer of 2012.
