Popis: Multiplication and avalanche excess noise measurements have been undertaken on a series of AlInP homojunction p-i-n and n-i-p diodes with i region widths ranging from 0.04 to 0.89 μm, using 442 and 460 nm wavelength light. Low dark currents of 1000 kV/cm. For a given multiplication factor, the excess noise decreased as the avalanche width decreased due to the dead-space effect. Using 460 nm wavelength light, measurements showed that a separate absorption multiplication avalanche photodiode with a nominal multiplication region width of 0.2 μm had an effective k (hole to electron ionization coefficient ratio) of ~0.3.
