Photodiode Detectors

Assume the total response time of a silicon photodiode can be taken as the sum of the transit time (limited by saturation velocity 105 m/s) and the RC rise time tr. Derive an expression for the optimum intrinsic region thickness d. If the load resistance is 50 _ and the detector area is 0.01 mm2, calculate d and the resulting detector bandwidth.
