HAMAMATSU PHOTONICS K.K.
Our unique photonics technology delivers
highly sophisticated opto-semiconductors with
high-sensitivity and high-speed response.
Hamamatsu Photonics has been at the cutting edge of photonics technology for 60 years. In that
time, Hamamatsu has developed and produced a wide range of opto-semiconductors such as
photodiodes, photo ICs, image sensors, and LEDs, as well as mini-spectrometers and many other
products using opto-semiconductors.
Our lineup of opto-semiconductors covers a broad spectrum from the infrared through the visible and
ultraviolet regions, extending to X-rays and even high energy particles. These are widely used in
many fields ranging from scientific measurements, medical diagnosis, communications, and
consumer electronics as well as in-vehicle applications.
In the days ahead, besides improving our semiconductor process and mounting/packaging technologies
to make them more sophisticated, we will fully utilize MOEMS (micro-opto-electro-mechanical systems)
technology that merges photonics technology with MEMS technology to develop opto-semiconductors
with even higher sensitivity, speeds, and functions.

process technology. MEMS technology
utilizes anisotropic etching and

conventional etching techniques to
provide versatile functions impossible
to achieve by conventional optosemiconductors.

anisotropic etching
Nanoimprint
Nanoimprint is a technology for
fabricating fine structures at a high
throughput. Light curing resin is applied
to a substrate upon which a master
substrate with a fine structure is then
pressed. Light is then irradiated to
transfer the nanoscale structure to the
resin.
Actuators formed by sacrificial layer
etching (bulk micromaching)
3D mount technology
3D mount technology can be broadly grouped into “electrode technology” for fabricating
structures with 3D electrical connections and “bonding technology” for making wafer
level packages. Electrode technology is essential for achieving more sophisticated
functions and smaller size opto-semiconductors. Electrode technology involves techniques
for forming Si through-hole electrodes to extract electrodes from the backside of devices
and flip-chip bonding to make electrical connections between different materials. Bonding
technology includes anodic bonding and room-temperature bonding that need no
adhesives and that apply direct sealing on devices to achieve ultra-small packages.

Hamamatsu offers a variety of package types to meet diverse market needs. For
example, metal packages are widely used in applications requiring high reliability.
Ceramic packages are used in general applications. Plastic packages are suitable for
high-volume applications where lower cost is essential. Special packages include
rectangular metal packages designed for use with thermoelectrically-cooled CCD
area image sensors. Many different types of surface mount packages are also
available. COB (chip on board) devices and thin plastic package devices are ideal
especially for applications where small, thin devices are needed. What's more,
photodiode/scintillator combination devices are available that detect X-rays or
radiation by converting them into visible light.

What is the MPPC ?
The MPPC is a kind of so-called Si-PM (silicon photomultiplier) device. It
is a photon-counting device consisting of multiple APD pixels operating in
Geiger mode. Each APD pixel of the MPPC outputs a pulse signal when it
detects one photon. The signal output from the MPPC is the total sum of
the outputs from all APD pixels. The MPPC offers the high performance needed in photon
counting and is used in diverse applications for detecting- extremely weak light at the
photon-counting level.
