D Question 5 1 pts Which of the following statements are true about a PIN photodiode detector? The l' in PIN is an abbreviation for Insulating The 'P in PIN is an abbreviation for Positive charge carriers. 'PIN' means p-type, insulating, and n-type. This is the stacking order for the diode layers. The I' layer has little effect on the electrical properties, but increases the probability that a photon will break a semiconductor bond and form a current. O The electric current in a PIN diode detector is proportional to the light intensity squared, Current ox (Intensity)2 0 A semiconductor diode is a slab of one semiconductor having electrons that cannot form bonds bonded to a slab of semiconductor having too many holes. (In this case a 'hole is the positively charged absence of a negatively charged electron.)

Explanation / Answer

In this case the last statement is true. As first three are incorrect. I stands for intrinsic not insulating, P stands for p-type not positive charge and PIN stands for p-type intrinsic & n-type.

Also, intrinsic semiconductor has a huge impact on electric properties so the 4th one is incorrect too. The current and Intensity are directly proportional to each not in terms of square. Thus we are left with only one right option. Which is the explanation of a diode.
