Excess Noise in GaAs Avalanche Photodiodes with Thin Multiplication Regions
It is well known that the gain–bandwidth product of an avalanche photodiode can be increased by utilizing a thin multiplication region. Previously, measurements of the excess noise factor of InP–InGaAsP–InGaAs avalanche photodiodes with separate absorption and multiplication regions indicated that this approach could also be employed to reduce the multiplication noise. This paper presents a sys...
متن کاملInvestigation of Dark Current Shot Noise in CdS/CuInSe2-Photodiodes with a Lock-in Technique
A very Jow noise measurement system is described with a noise temperature of 0.5 K consisting of a mercury wetted reed switch, low noise preamplifier, and synchronous detector. The set-up can te tuned from 20 kHz up to 3.15 GHz corresponding to the bandwidth of relay and prcamplifieI'. The shot noise of CdSjCulnSe2-photodiode,s has been investigated. Deviations from the expected behaviour indic...
متن کاملLow-Noise Silicon Avalanche Photodiodes Fabricated in Conventional CMOS Technologies
We present a simple design technique that allows the fabrication of UV/blueselective avalanche photodiodes in a conventional CMOS process. The photodiodes are fabricated in a twin tub 0.8 m CMOS technology. An efficient guard-ring structure is created using the lateral diffusion of two n-well regions separated by a gap of 0.6 m. When operated at a multiplication gain of 20, our photodiodes achi...
متن کاملInvestigation of Avalanche Photodiodes for EM Calorimeter at LHC
Silicon avalanche photodiodes (APD) have been studied extensively as a photodetector candidate for the electromagnetic calorimeter of the CMS detector at LHC. This report presents measurements of the latest generation APDs made by Hamamatsu and EG&G, with particular emphasis on spectral response, excess noise factor, response to charged particles and radiation hardness. The strategy for the fut...
متن کاملInvestigation of temperature and temporal stability of AlGaAsSb avalanche photodiodes
Since avalanche gain and breakdown voltage in most semiconductor materials change with temperature, instruments utilizing Avalanche Photodiodes (APDs) for their avalanche gains need to incorporate either temperature stabilization or voltage adjustment in the APD operation circuits. In this work we evaluated the temperature and temporal stability of avalanche gain in Al0.85Ga0.15As0.56Sb0.44, a ...
