摘要
We report the electrical and optical characteristics of avalanche photodiodes fabricated in GaN grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. The current-voltage characteristics indicate a multiplication of > 25. Experiment indicates and simulation verifies that the magnitude of the electric field at the onset of avalanche gain is greater than or equal to 3 MV/cm. Small-area devices exhibit stable gain with no evidence of microplasmas. (C) 2000 American Institute of Physics. [S0003-6951(00)01207-9].
