Abstract

Recent demonstrations of GaN APDs with spatially uniform gain regions free of microplasmas reported multiplication gain (M) values of 10-25 (McIntosh et al, 1999; Carrano et al., 2000). We report here on photon counting, or Geiger-mode, measurements of GaN APDs which entail much greater avalanche gain (10/sup 4/
