摘要
We have measured avalanche multiplication and noise in Si p-i-n diodes with avalanche widths, w, of 0.12 mu m, 0.18 mu m and 0.32 mu m, both for pure electron and mixed carrier injection. Multiplication and excess noise measurements were also performed with hole injection on a n(+)-i-p(divided by) diode with w = 0.84 mu m. Pure electron initiated avalanche noise results were found to be almost indistinguishable in all three layers. The excess noise factor increases dramatically with increasing w when the injection is mixed.
