Zusammenfassung:The authors report on the metal-organic chemical vapor deposition growth, fabrication, and characterization of high performance solar-blind avalanche photodetectors and the experimental evaluation of the impact ionization coefficients that are obtained from the photomultiplication data. A Schottky barrier, suitable for back and front illuminations, is used to determine the impact ionization coefficients of electrons and holes in an AlGaN based avalanche photodiode.
