Optimization of Guard Ring Structures for Superior Dark Current Reduction and Improved Quantum Efficiency in InGaAs/InP APDs

Avalanche photodiodes (APDs) based on InGaAs/InP are pivotal for applications in low-light detection, yet their performance is often hindered by edge breakdown and high dark currents. This study systematically optimizes guard ring structures to address these challenges, focusing on attached guard ri...
