摘要: As a first assessment for the fabrication of Geiger mode avalanche photodiode arrays, individual pixels are made. A CMOS compatible technology is used, to allow future integration in an array with readout electronics. model afterpulsing presented that relates probability concentration and capture cross section traps depletion layer. Also trap assisted tunneling used explain bias voltage temperature dependence dark count rate. Measured results on fabricated devices compared described theory.
