Which of the following is true about a PIN diode?(a) it’s photosensitive in reverse bias(b) it offers low resistance and low capacitance(c) it has a decreased reversed breakdown voltage(d) carrier storage is lowThe question was asked in class test.I need to ask this question from p-i-n Diode and its Characteristics topic in portion Semiconductor-Diode Characteristics of Electronic Devices & Circuits

Answer»

The correct option is (a) it’s photosensitive in reverse bias

The EXPLANATION: Due to increased depletion region, the covalent BONDS break and increase the surface area for photosensitivity. This PROPERTY is used in fields of light sensors, image SCANNERS, artificial retina systems.
