Modeling of avalanche multiplication and noise in heterojunction avalanche photodiodes

A simple Monte Carlo model is used to simulate the avalanche process in a multiplication region which incorporates a heterojunction, intended to introduce localization into the ionization process and reduce excess avalanche noise. The results are compared with those of models where the ionization pa...
