Fine Control of the Electric Field Distribution in the Heterostructure Multiplication Region of AlGaN Avalanche Photodiodes

To enhance avalanche ionization, we designed a new separate absorption and multiplication AlGaN solar-blind avalanche photodiode (APD) by replacing the conventional AlGaN homogeneous multiplication region with a high/low Al content AlGaN heterostructure layer. The calculated results showed that the...
