SG01D-18 Broadband SiC UV Photodiode
The SG01D-18 is a broadband silicon carbide (SiC) UV photodiode that provides the unique property of extreme radiation hardness, near-perfect visible blindness, low dark current, high speed and low noise.
These features make SiC the best available material for visible blind semiconductor UV detectors. The SiC detectors can be permanently operated at up to 170°C (338°F). The temperature coefficient of signal (responsivity) is also low, < 0,1%/K. Because of the low noise (dark current in the fA range), very low UV radiation intensities can be measured reliably.
