There is a demand for Si, GaAs, and Ge PN and PIN photodiodes that include detailed specifications on the length scales and doping of the P, I, and N layers. However, commercial suppliers typically do not disclose this information, as it is regarded as their intellectual property. The variety of PIN diodes available means that potential buyers must clearly define their application and specific electrical requirements. Understanding these factors is crucial for selecting the appropriate photodiode. Ultimately, obtaining detailed manufacturing specifications remains a challenge in the industry.
