Excess noise factor in large area avalanche photodiodes for different temperatures
نویسنده
چکیده
The excess noise factor (ENF) of a large area avalanche photodiode was measured as a function of gain for different temperatures, in the 40 to 27 C range. Results show that ENF does not depend significantly with temperature attaining values of about 1.8 and 2.3 for gains of 50 and 300, respectively. r 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

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 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 کاملImpact-Ionization and Noise Characteristics of Thin III–V Avalanche Photodiodes
It is, by now, well known that McIntyre’s localized carrier-multiplication theory cannot explain the suppression of excess noise factor observed in avalanche photodiodes (APDs) that make use of thin multiplication regions. We demonstrate that a carrier multiplication model that incorporates the effects of dead space, as developed earlier by Hayat et al. provides excellent agreement with the imp...
متن کاملDead-Space-Based Theory Correctly Predicts Excess Noise Factor for Thin GaAs and AlGaAs Avalanche Photodiodes
The conventional McIntyre carrier multiplication theory for avalanche photodiodes (APD’s) does not adequately describe the experimental results obtained from APD’s with thin multiplication-regions. Using published data for thin GaAs and Al0 2Ga0 8As APD’s, collected from multiplication-regions of different widths, we show that incorporating dead-space in the model resolves the discrepancy. The ...
متن کاملEffects of carrier injection profile on low noise thin Al0.85Ga0.15As0.56Sb0.44 avalanche photodiodes.
Avalanche photodiodes (APDs) with thin avalanche regions have shown low excess noise characteristics and high gain-bandwidth products, so they are suited for long-haul optical communications. In this work, we investigated how carrier injection profile affects the avalanche gain and excess noise factors of Al0.85Ga0.15As0.56Sb0.44 (lattice-matched to InP substrates) p-i-n and n-i-p diodes with t...
