متن کاملMonte Carlo Simulation of Multiplication Factor in PIN In0.52Al0.48As Avalanche Photodiodes
In this paper, we calculate electron and hole impactionization coefficients in In0.52Al0.48As using a Monte Carlo modelwhich has two valleys and two bands for electrons and holesrespectively. Also, we calculate multiplication factor for electronand hole initiated multiplication regimes and breakdown voltagein In0.52Al0.48As PIN avalanche photodiodes. To validate themodel, we compare our simulat...
متن کاملNon-linear behaviour of large-area avalanche photodiodes
The characterisation of photodiodes used as photosensors requires a determination of the number of electron–hole pairs produced by scintillation light. One method involves comparing signals produced by X-ray absorptions occurring directly in the avalanche photodiode with the light signals. When the light is derived from light-emitting diodes in the 400–600 nm range, significant non-linear behav...
متن کاملExcess 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...
