摘要：

Avalanche p-i-n photodiodes of various mesa areas were fabricated on AlN templates for back illumination for enhanced performance through hole-initiated multiplication, and the effects of increased area on device performance were studied. Avalanche multiplication was observed in mesa sizes up to 14 063 mu m(2) under linear mode operation. Uniform gain and a linear increase of the dark current with area were demonstrated.
