Development of Gated Pinned Avalanche Photodiode Pixels for High-Speed Low-Light Imaging

This work explores the benefits of linear-mode avalanche photodiodes (APDs) in high-speed CMOS imaging as compared to different approaches present in literature. Analysis of APDs biased below their breakdown voltage employed in single-photon counting mode is also discussed, showing a potentially int...
