An Avalanche Photodiode (APD) is a highly sensitive semiconductor photodetector that exploits the avalanche multiplication effect to amplify weak optical signals. Key characteristics include:
Operating Principle
Utilizes impact ionization in a high-electric-field region to generate secondary electron-hole pairs, achieving internal gain (typically 10–1000x).
Structure
Composed of p-n/p-i-n junctions with a dedicated avalanche region (e.g., InP/InGaAs for near-infrared).
Performance Metrics
High quantum efficiency (70–90%) and low noise (low excess noise factor).
Fast response time (sub-nanosecond) for high-speed applications.

Technological development direction
Material innovation: Silicon-based and InGaAs avalanche diodes will become mainstream. Among them, silicon-based APDs have a significant cost advantage in the 800-1000nm band, while IngaAS APDs perform better in the 1000-1700nm band.
Integration: Photonic integrated circuit (PIC) technology promotes the single-chip integration of APD with devices such as lasers and modulators, reducing system costs and volume.
Applications of third-generation semiconductors: The penetration rate of silicon carbide-based avalanche diodes is expected to increase from 8% in 2024 to 25% in 2030, meeting the demands of high-temperature and high-frequency scenarios.

Expansion of application fields
5G communication: The construction of 5G base stations and the demand for optical fiber communication have driven the market for high-frequency and high-voltage avalanche diodes, which is expected to account for 48% of the total APD application market.
LiDAR: The market size of APD for automotive LiDAR is expected to account for 35% of the total by 2030, becoming the largest growth point.
Quantum communication: The single-photon detection capability of quantum APD will promote the commercialization of quantum key distribution systems and their large-scale application in the financial and government sectors after 2028.
Localization and the competitive landscape
The domestic production rate of high-end APD will increase from the current 30% to over 50% by 2030.
The Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta regions will concentrate over 75% of the country's production capacity, while the central and western regions will form new industrial clusters with policy support.

Policy and investment hotspots
The country's 14th Five-Year Plan has listed high-end photoelectric sensors as a key focus, with over 2 billion yuan invested in special funds.
Investment advice: Focus on IDM model enterprises, leading manufacturers of in-vehicle LiDAR, and innovative enterprises that master the core technologies of InGaAs.
