Record 3 2012-04-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Semiconductors (Electronics)
CONT

In a positive-intrinsic-negative (PIN) diode, an intrinsic (non-doped) semiconductor is sandwiched between the positively and negatively doped semiconductor regions. This arrangement results in a large electrical field in the I region which increases the zone where photons can free charges and reduces the charge transit time. The maximum rate of light fluctuations that a PIN diode can track is limited by the transit time of charges to about 20 GHz [gigahertz].

OBS
