Modeling Negative Feedback in Single Photon Avalanche Diodes
Recently, considerable attention has been placed upon exploiting the negative-feedback effect in accelerating the quenching time of the avalanche current in passively quenched single-photon avalanche-diode (SPAD) circuits. Reducing the quenching time results in a reduction in the total charge generated in the SPAD, thereby reducing the number of trapped carries; this, in turn, can lead to impro...
متن کاملNegative Feedback Avalanche Diodes for Near-infrared Single Photon Detection
In recent years significant progress has been made in near-infrared single photon detection using Geiger-mode InPbased single photon avalanche diodes (SPADs). A more detailed understanding of these detectors with regard to device design, material growth and device fabrication has led to continual performance improvements. A variety of circuits for enabling SPAD Geiger-mode operation have been p...
متن کاملA 130nm CMOS Single Photon Avalanche Diode
We report on the first implementation of a single photon avalanche diode (SPAD) in 130nm CMOS technology. The SPAD is fabricated as p+/nwell junction with octagonal shape. A guard ring of p-well around the p+ anode is used to prevent premature discharge. To investigate the dynamics of the new device, both active and passive quenching methods have been used. Single photon detection is achieved b...
متن کاملSingle photon avalanche diode for single molecule detection
A commercially available single photon avalanche photodiode in a passively quenched circuit is used with time-correlated single photon counting modules to achieve subnanosecond time response together with high quantum efficiency and low dark noise. These characteristics are required for experiments in single molecule detection and spectroscopy in which time-gated detection schemes are used. By ...
متن کاملElectrical μ-Lens Synthesis Using Dual-Junction Single-Photon Avalanche Diode
This work presents a dual-junction, single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) with electrical μ-lens designed and simulated in 90 nm standard complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology. The evaluated structure can collect the photons impinging beneath the pixel guard ring, as well as the pixel active area. The fill factor of the SPAD increases from 12.5% to 42% in comparison with simi...
