Abstract: | A new design of the avalanche photodetector combining the avalanche photodiode and MIS structure properties was tested. The noise and high-frequency properties of the device were studied. The device exhibited a noise factor of less than 10 at a high multiplication factor (M>1000) even with hole injection. This is indicative of a drastic change in the effective ratio of the coefficients of impact ionization by electrons and holes in favor of the latter. Measurements of the photosensitivity distribution over a photodetector area for M=8000 showed a high uniformity. |
