ACS develops and manufactures high-quality avalanche photodiodes using a range of advanced technologies. Materials and fabrication processes can be adjusted and customized to customer requirements, including sensitivity at different wavelengths, speeds and capacities. ACS is committed to manufacturing suitable products for you. An APD, or Avalanche Photodiode, is an optical receiver device primarily used to detect weak optical signals after transmission, amplify and reshape them, and regenerate the original transmitted signal. It is a photodetection device that converts optical signals into electrical signals through the photoelectric effect. APD operating principle: Electrons and holes generated through the photoelectric effect are rapidly accelerated in a high-electric-field region and may collide with other atoms repeatedly, causing a rapid increase in carriers and reverse current and producing avalanche multiplication. The main reason for choosing an APD is the high receiver sensitivity obtained by multiplying the photocurrent through avalanche multiplication.
Avalanche diodes are typically used where optical signal intensity is extremely low, but are also used in applications with high modulation frequencies. At frequencies below 60 megahertz, noise increased by the avalanche effect is usually lower than the noise produced by combining a conventional diode with an external electronic amplifier. Typical applications include distance measurement and optical communications with low-level signals.
High sensitivity, fast response, low noise, low cost and high reliability.

Zhongke Xindian Semiconductor Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd. was established in October 2014. It is a high-tech enterprise specializing in the R&D and production of InP-based and GaAs-based optoelectronic and microelectronic MBE epitaxial materials. The company has passed ISO9001:2015, ISO14001, Beijing High-tech Enterprise, Zhongguancun High-tech Enterprise and other related certifications.
The company currently has multiple production lines of Veeco GEN2000 mass-production MBE epitaxial wafer processes from the United States, as well as a full set of internationally advanced analytical and testing equipment. It has built more than 2,000 square meters of supporting factory buildings, including Class 10, Class 100 and Class 1000 cleanrooms. In 2022, large-scale production was achieved, with a capacity of 80,000 wafers per year (converted to 2 inches).
InP-based and GaAs epitaxial materials are core components of chips and devices such as optical communications, photodetectors, microwave RF, and laser sensors. The company's products cover important applications in the optoelectronic field such as APD, PD, VCSEL, QCL, and in the microelectronic field such as PHEMT, HEMT, HBT, SBD, RTD. Some products (such as 10G, 25G, 50G APD, 800G, 1.6T PD, PHEMT, etc.) have reached the performance level of similar international products and achieved multi-batch mass production.
