Investigation of the avalanche multiplication characteristics in advanced avalanche photodiodes (APDs) by Toh, Rui Tze.

“…Simulation results have also suggested that high performing APDs with low excess avalanche noise can be achieved with narrow multiplication widths unlike McIntyre’s prediction. Device simulation based on the Random Path Length model is carried out using a software developed based on the NET4.0 framework with C# in this project. …”
