【摘要】 To enhance the avalanche ionization, we designed a new separate absorption and multiplication AlGaN solarblind avalanche photodiode(APD) by using a high/low-Al-content AlGaN heterostructure as the multiplication region instead of the conventional AlGaN homogeneous layer. The calculated results show that the designed APD with Al0.3Ga0.7N/Al0.45Ga0.55N heterostructure multiplication region exhibits a 60% higher gain than the conventional APD and a smaller avalanche breakdown voltage due to the use of the low-Al-content Al0.3Ga0.7N which has about a six times higher hole ionization coefficient than the high-Al-content Al0.45Ga0.55N. Meanwhile, the designed APD still remains a good solar-blind characteristic by introducing a quarter-wave AlGaN/AlN distributed Bragg reflectors structure at the bottom of the device.
