Abstract
A semiconductor photodiode. The semiconductor photodiode including: an input waveguide, arranged to receive an optical signal at a first port and provide the optical signal from the second port; a photodiode waveguide, arranged to receive the optical signal from the second port of the input waveguide, and at least partially convert the optical signal into an electrical signal; and an electro-static defence component, located adjacent to the photodiode waveguide. The electro-static defence component and the photodiode waveguide are electrically connected in parallel.
