摘要
Multi-quantum well structures exhibiting intraband impact ionization were studied. Fabricated devices consisted of donor doped GaAs or In0.20Ga0.80As quantum wells and undoped AlxGa1-xAs barrier regions. Effective gain-per-stage was found to be strongly dependent on structure design and measurement conditions (incident light intensity, chopping frequency and temperature). The limits of the validity of the current single-valley model for these structures are discussed.
