* Optical Pickup Chipset with Photodetector PDIC for Blue-Violet Laser Diodes

CXA2674EM
CXA2673EM

The age of the blue-violet laser diode has arrived making even higher recording densities possible. Sony has now developed a new photodiode semiconductor wafer process and a new package for photodetector IC for use with blue-violet laser diodes. This article introduces a chipset for use with blue-violet laser diodes; a chipset that concentrates the industry's leading technologies in a unified system.

* CXA2674EM
The CXA2674EM is a photodetector IC (PDIC) that detects both RF and servo signals and mounted in a record/playback optical pickup that supports the blue-violet laser diode used for Blu-ray and other optical discs. This device is fabricated in a leading-edge process that improves the optoelectronic conversion characteristics in the blue-violet wavelength range to almost the theoretical limits. It also achieves a high signal-to-noise ratio by including a low-noise amplifier. This device features a standby mode function that allows power consumption to be minimized when the device is not being operated. (Operating mode: 30 mA, standby mode: 2 mA) This product is provided in a newly-developed package that is appropriate for photodetection in the wavelength range of the blue-violet laser.
* CXA2673EM
The CXA2673EM is a photodetector IC (PDIC) developed for use as a laser power monitor and mounted in a record/playback optical pickup that uses the blue-violet laser diode used for Blu-ray and other optical discs. This device adopts the same leading-edge process used for the CXA2674EM and the same package. It provides excellent performance as a front monitor for blue-violet laser diodes.
* Newly-Developed Package for Blue-Violet Laser Diodes
Sony has developed a new cavity mold glass sealed package for blue-violet laser diodes. Conventional transparent plastic packages have low transparency in the wavelength range of the blue-violet laser diode, and furthermore, it has been shown that long-term exposure to blue-violet laser diode light degrades plastic package material. Therefore, Sony developed this new package that mounts the silicon chips in a molded cavity area and seals them in that area with glass that has antireflection coating on both sides, thus resolving both these problems.
* The Industry's Smallest GPS Module Developed
Sony has now developed the industry's smallest surface mounting GPS module with a mounting area of only 322 mm2 . Sony is also proceeding with the development of a QS9000 conforming automotive module as well to respond to a wide range of user needs.

No rose without a thorn. While the blue laser diode was a miraculous development, and it is an extremely attractive device, it was not easy to develop a PDIC that could receive that light. Revising the fabrication process was, of course, necessary, and we even developed a new package in creating this new product! This is a very friendly product and can be used by almost anyone. It's good to be able to relax again now that this project is done.
