Low-Noise 3-D Avalanche Photodiodes

In this paper, we present a new 3-D structure for the InP-based avalanche photodiode, aiming at decreasing the excess noise factor. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first time new device designs based on the recently developed 3-D spatial dead space model in 2014 have been proposed. In additi...
