A new MOS photon counting sensor operating in the above-breakdown regime
A MOS optical sensor that utilizes avalanche multiplication in silicon is proposed and investigated both theoretically and experimentally. The above-breakdown operating regime is discussed and it is shown how a MOS photosensor may be operated in a photon counting mode by pulsing it into very deep de...
