Monte Carlo Simulation of Multiplication Factor in PIN In0.52Al0.48As Avalanche Photodiodes
Authors
Abstract:
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 simulated results with the experimentalresults.

full textExcess 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...
full textPerformance of Thin Separate Absorption, Charge, and Multiplication Avalanche Photodiodes
Previously, it has been demonstrated that resonantcavity-enhanced separate-absorption-and-multiplication (SAM) avalanche photodiodes (APD’s) can achieve high bandwidths and high gain–bandwidth products while maintaining good quantum efficiency. In this paper, we describe a GaAs-based resonant-cavity-enhanced SAM APD that utilizes a thin charge layer for improved control of the electric field pr...
full textExperimental performances and Monte Carlo modelling of LWIR HgCdTe avalanche photodiodes
We report the performances of LWIR (λc = 9.0 μm at 80K) HgCdTe electron injected avalanche photodiodes (e-APD). In these devices, the exponential gain curve, up to gains equal to 23 at 100K, and the low excess noise factor close to unity (F ~ 1-1.25) are indicative of a single carrier multiplication process, which is electron impact ionization. The dark current is mainly due to a diffusion curr...
full textSimulation of Dark Count in Geiger Mode Avalanche Photodiodes
Silicon avalanche photodiodes operated above breakdown, in Geiger mode, can be sensitive enough to allow single photon detection. An inherent limit to GMAPD sensitivity is the noise caused by thermally generated carriers. This noise manifests itself as extraneous counts in the absence of light and is termed the dark count. The presence of the dark count in GM-APD detectors reduces the signal to...
