Read the paragraph and answer the questions 46 to 50 :
p-i-n photodiode contains a layer of intrinsic semi-conductor material sandwiched between p-and-n regions. The depletion
layer is wholly contained within the i region. Thickness of the intrinsic region can be adjusted to produce device with optimum
sensitivity and frequency response. P-i-n photodiode is most common type of depletion layer photodiode.
The other class of photodiodes, avalanche photodiodes, are reverse-biased p-n junction diodes that are operated at voltages above the breakdown voltage. Current multiplication of electron-hole pairs generated by the incident electromagnetic radiation, occurs due to avalanche process. The photomultiplication factor Mpn is defined as ratio of the multiplied
photocurrent Ipm to the photocurrent Ipho at voltage below breakdown where no avalanche multiplication takes place.
