Don’t Pay Up to 145% More for Silicon Photodiodes — Buy Marktech Si PDs Designed, Fabricated, and Assembled in the U.S.A.

In today’s competitive component marketplace, price and performance both matter. That’s why Marktech Optoelectronics is making a clear call to OEMs, integrators, and system designers: don’t overpay for silicon photodiodes. Marktech’s high-performance silicon photodetectors are designed, fabricated, and assembled entirely in the United States—often at up to 145% lower cost than imported or private-labeled alternatives.

With the current U.S. administration imposing tariffs on imported semiconductors and other products ranging from 10% to 145%, depending on the manufacturer’s country, including silicon photodiodes and LEDs, buyers sourcing from overseas may soon or already be paying significantly more than necessary, without added value.

Much uncertainty exists, and the tariffs on semiconductors like photodiodes or LEDs may increase even further tomorrow. According to a recent article, “Trump’s potential semiconductor tariffs spook the tech industry“,  many technology companies and OEMs are bracing for impacts across the industry, which can alter their global competitiveness.

Choosing a domestic supplier like Marktech sidesteps these new national sales taxes and ensures faster lead times, engineering support, and greater supply chain transparency.

Marktech’s in-house production capabilities in Simi Valley, CA combined with our extensive electro-optical testing laboratories in Latham, NY allow for complete control over material selection, wafer processing, packaging, and testing. The result: a dependable, cost-effective photodiode solution tailored to the needs of customers in medical instrumentation, industrial automation, aerospace, security, and general-purpose light detection.

Marktech Optoelectronics silicon photodiodes advantages and option include:

“Our customers are telling us they’re paying more and waiting longer for photodiodes that don’t meet their spec,” says Mark Campito, CEO at Marktech. “We’re proud to offer silicon photodiodes that are built to exacting standards—right here in the U.S.—and at a price point that lets our customers remain competitive in their markets.”

In addition to standard detectors, Marktech offers complete photonic subassemblies, hybrid packages with matched emitters, and custom calibration services. Engineering support is available from initial design through volume production. Marktech’s silicon photodiodes are also available in hybrid configurations that integrate transimpedance amplifiers (TIAs), thermoelectric coolers (TECs), or other custom components within the same package for enhanced performance and simplified system integration.
