Sigetronics begins mass production of silicon APDs for robotic laser ranging
Sigetronics entered mass production of 540 nm and 660 nm silicon avalanche photodiodes used in laser ranging, robotics, drones and 3D scanning.
Evidence notes
- The company describes the 540 nm and 660 nm devices as short-range optical-sensing components.
- A 905 nm APD for industrial and automotive lidar is targeted for mass production by the end of 2026.
- Sigetronics is planning an annual supply chain of several million units around initial customers and industrial applications; this is a target, not reported shipments.
