Avalanche multiplication noise characteristics in thin GaAs p/sup +/-i-n/sup +/ diodes
TL;DR: Avalanche noise measurements have been performed on a range of homojunction GaAs p/sup +/-i-n/sup +/ and n/sup ±i-p/sup+/ diodes with "i" region widths, /spl omega/ from 2.61 to 0.05 /spl mu/m as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temperature Dependence of Impact Ionization in Submicrometer Silicon Devices
TL;DR: In this article, a local analysis is used to extract the values of effective ionization coefficients, alpha and beta, which are then deduced and parameterized in an extended form of Chynoweth's expression to cover their dependence on both electric field and temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Monte Carlo investigation of multiplication noise in thin p/sup +/-i-n/sup +/ GaAs avalanche photodiodes
TL;DR: In this article, a Monte Carlo (MC) model was used to estimate the excess noise factor in thin p/sup +/-i-n/sup +/ GaAs avalanche photodiodes (APD's).
Journal ArticleDOI
A simple model to determine multiplication and noise in avalanche photodiodes
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple model which incorporates a randomly generated ionization path length (RPL) and a hard-threshold dead space was used to calculate the mean avalanche multiplication and noise in 1.0, 0.5, 1.1, and 0.05 µm GaAs p+-i-n+ diodes.
