Modelling of High Quantum Efficiency Avalanche Photodiode
A model of a low noise high quantum efficiency n+np Germanium Photodiode utilizing ion implantation technique and subsequent drive-in diffusion in the n layer is presented. Numerical analysis is used to study the influence of junction depth and bulk concentration on the electric field profile and quantum efficiency. The performance of the device is theoretically treated especially at the wave-l...
متن کاملStudies of Avalanche Photodiode Performance in a High Magnetic Field
We report the results of exposing a Hamamatsu avalanche photodiode (APD) to a 7.9 Tesla magnetic field. The effect of the magnetic field on the gain of the APD is shown and discussed. We find APD gain to be unaffected in the presence of such a magnetic field.
متن کاملAvalanche photodiode A User Guide
Introduction Avalanche photodiode detectors (APD) have and will continue to be used in many diverse applications such as laser range finders, data communications or photon correlation studies. This paper discusses APD structures, critical performance parameter and excess noise factor. For low-light detection in the 200to 1150-nm range, the designer has three basic detector choices the silicon P...
متن کاملLow-temperature performance of a large area avalanche photodiode
A Large Area Avalanche Photodiode was studied, aiming to access its performance as light detector at low temperatures, down to 80 C. The excess noise factor, F ; was measured and found to be approximately independent of the temperature. A linear dependence of F on the APD gain with a slope of 0.0023970.00008 was observed for gains >100. The detection of low intensity light pulses, producing onl...
متن کامل4H-SiC Diode Avalanche Breakdown Voltage Estimation by Simulation and Junction Termination Extension Analysis
This paper presents and compares different avalanche breakdown voltage estimation methods in 4H-SiC (silicon carbide) using finite element simulation results on Schottky diode. 4H-SiC avalanche breakdown voltage and depletion width estimated with Baliga’s equations have shown to be higher than other estimation techniques and simulation results, especially for voltages higher than 5kV. This pape...
