Maimakon photodiode?
Takardarwa na photodiode
Photodiode shine ya shirya da kuma PN junction diode wanda yana gina karamin kasa idan an taka da harshe. Wannan junction yana faruwa ne da kulaɗi P-type da N-type semiconductor materials. Material P-type yana da mafi yawan carriers mai karfi (holes), amma material N-type yana da mafi yawan carriers mai tsaya (electrons). Idan wannan materials suka haɗa, electrons daga N-type region zai ci P-type region, kuma yana bincike da holes kuma yana faruwa da depletion region. Wannan region yana yi aikin zuwa cikin karamin kasa.
Photodiode yana da biyu terminals, anode da cathode, wadanda suke haɗa da P-type da N-type regions, respectively. Anode yana da tab ko dot a package ta device. Symbol of a photodiode yana bayyana a nan, da biyu arrows pointing toward the junction to indicate that it is sensitive to light.
Prinsipin Yadda Ake Amfani Da Ita
Idan photodiode yana haɗa da reverse bias zuwa external circuit, yana ci karamin kasa mai yawa daga anode zuwa cathode. Wannan karamin kasa, wanda ake kira dark current, yana faruwa ne da thermal generation of minority charge carriers a semiconductor. Dark current ba ya ƙunshi applied reverse voltage, amma yana canza da temperature da doping level.
Idan harshe da energy mai yawa ta photodiode, yana faruwa da electron-hole pairs a semiconductor material. Wannan process yana kiran inner photoelectric effect. Idan absorption of light yana faruwa a depletion region, wannan charge carriers suka ci across the junction, kuma yana faruwa da photocurrent wanda yana ƙara zuwa dark current. Saboda haka, holes zai ci zuwa anode, electrons zai ci zuwa cathode, kuma reverse current zai ci zuwa da increasing light intensity.
Photocurrent yana ƙunshi da light intensity for a specific wavelength and temperature. Idan light intensity yana ƙarin, photocurrent yana ci zuwa maximum value called the saturation current, beyond which it no longer increases. This saturation current depends on the device’s geometry and material properties.
Photodiode yana iya amfani da biyu modes: photovoltaic mode da photoconductive mode.
Photovoltaic Mode
A photovoltaic mode, ba a yi external reverse voltage zuwa photodiode, saboda haka yana yi nasara da solar cell wanda yana gina power from light. Photocurrent yana ci through a short circuit or load impedance connected to the terminals. Idan circuit yana ɗaukata ko da high impedance, yana faruwa da voltage across the device, forward-biasing it. This voltage, called the open-circuit voltage, depends on light intensity and wavelength.
Photovoltaic mode yana yi nasara da photovoltaic effect, wanda ake amfani da ita don produce solar energy from sunlight. Amma, wannan mode yana da wasu disadvantages, kamar low response speed, high series resistance, and low sensitivity.
Photoconductive Mode
A photoconductive mode, an external reverse voltage yana haɗa zuwa photodiode, kuma yana yi nasara da variable resistor wanda yana ƙari irinshin da light intensity. Photocurrent yana ci through an external circuit that provides a bias voltage and measures the output current or voltage.
Photoconductive mode yana da wasu advantages over the photovoltaic mode, kamar high response speed, low series resistance, high sensitivity, and wide dynamic range. Amma, wannan mode yana da wasu drawbacks, kamar higher noise levels, higher power consumption, and lower linearity.
