The responsivity will be 0.45 A / W. Then the quantum efficiency will be 80%.

How to calculate responsivity and quantum efficiency?

A Si pin photodiode has an active light-receiving area of a diameter of 0.4 mm.

When radiation of wavelength 700 nm (red light and intensity 0.1 mW cm^-2 is incident it generates a photocurrent of 56.6 nA.

Diameter (d) = 0.4 mm = 0.04 cm

Then the area will be

Area (A) = π / 4 x d²

Area (A) = π / 4 x 0.04²

Area (A) = 1.26 x 10⁻³ square cm

Then the incident power will be

P₀ = intensity of light x area

P₀ = 1.26 x 10⁻³ x 0.1 x 10⁻³

P₀ = 0.126 x 10⁻⁶ μW

Then the responsivity will be

R = photocurrent / power

R = 56.6 x 10⁻⁹ / 0.126 x 10⁻⁶

R = 0.4492

R ≅ 0.45 A / W

Then the quantum efficiency will be

η = Rhc / qλ

h = plank constant

c = speed of light

q = charge of an electron

Then we have

η = 0.45 x 6.62 x 10⁻³⁴ x 3 x 10⁸ / 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ x 700 x 10⁻⁹

η = 0.7979

η = 0.8

η = 80%
