The electron and hole impact ionization coefficients were calculated and compared to give a better prospect of the performance of the device. The device was revealed to have an electron-dominated avalanching mechanism with a gain value of 48 at room temperature. At room temperature, the device exhibits a 50% cut-off wavelength of 1.74 µm. The SWIR GaSb/(AlAsSb/GaSb) APD structure was designed based on impact ionization engineering and grown by molecular beam epitaxy on a GaSb substrate. The UV cut-off wavelength is 393nm, which means that the lens can block more than 98 of ultraviolet rays below the 393nm wavelength. As shown in the figure below, the purple light transmission is 2.4 (UV rejection rate is 97.6). Low excess noise, as characterized by a carrier ionization ratio of ~0.07, has been achieved.ĪB - We demonstrate low noise short wavelength infrared (SWIR) Sb-based type II superlattice (T2SL) avalanche photodiodes (APDs). The UV cut-off wavelength is calculated by measuring the ultraviolet transmittance of this wavelength.
