Abstract
A detailed study of photosensitivity and noise characteristics of ultrafast InGaAsP / InP avalanche photodiodes (APDs) with separate absorption, grading, charge and multiplication regions was carried out. Carrier multiplication and noise factors were evaluated. Noise origin in investigated APDs is 1/f, generation-recombination and shot noises. Different quality samples have been investigated and it is shown that noise characteristics well reflect APD quality problems. It is shown that low-frequency noise and excess shot noise characteristics are very sensitive to the APD quality problems and clear up physical processes in device structure. Noise characteristic analyses can be used for the APD quality problems revealing and optimal design development.
