Advantages of thin single-photon avalanche diodes

The breakdown characteristics and timing jitter of thin and thick GaAs single-photon avalanche diodes are analyzed using a random ionization path length model. The larger relative dead space in thin devices is found to increase the sharpness of breakdown probability curves. Thin devices also produce...
