Abstract

These The present paper shows ionization coefficient ratios, k-values, k1 and keff, of reverse-type Si avalanche photodiode. Both of keff and k1, tend to increase when APDs are cooled down. The results for keff are 0.0023 ± 0.0002 at 20 °C, 0.0027 ± 0.0003 at 0 °C, and 0.0049 ±0.0007 at -20 °C. With the result of k1, temperature dependency of k-values Indicates mean free paths of the carriers for phonon scattering shows different temperature dependency, which is considered to reflect the inner structure of APDs.
