Abstract
En 中文
Recent advances in the development of ultraviolet avalanche p-i-n photodiodes composed of the III-N and SiC compound semiconductors have established that these materials can provide distinct advantages over the current Si-CMOS-based photodetector technology. We review the early development of semiconductor photodetectors and the current understanding and state-of-the-art for the III-N and SiC photodetectors. Particular emphasis is devoted to considering the potential use of these materials for single-photon avalanche ultraviolet photodetectors operating in Geiger-mode.
