What is P-I-N Photodiode Overview about?
The document discusses P-I-N and avalanche photodiodes (APDs). A P-I-N photodiode has an intrinsic region that increases the depletion width and reduces junction capacitance compared to a PN photodiode. An APD is similar to a PN photodiode but operated near breakdown voltage, which causes electrons to gain enough energy to generate additional electron-hole pairs through impact ionization, resulting in internal gain of up to 100 times.
