Planar InAs avalanche photodiodes for infrared sensing : towards a true solid state photomultiplier

Planar InAs avalanche photodiodes (APDs) are reported as low noise, high gain photon detectors operating across the electromagnetic spectrum from 1.5 to 3.5 µm. This work includes a study of post-growth selective area doping techniques in InAs required for forming planar junctions, through to develo...
