A Ge-based single-photon-avalanche-diode (SPAD) is investigated by using self-consistent 3-D Monte Carlo simulation including the presence of a passive quenching circuit. This approach of transport allows us to capture all stochastic features of carrier transport and SPAD operation. We analyze particularly the probabilistic character of the quenching mechanism and its dependence on the parameters (resistance and capacitance) of the passive quenching circuit.

Abstract
A Ge-based single-photon-avalanche-diode (SPAD) is investigated by using self-consistent 3-D Monte Carlo simulation including the presence of a passive quenching circuit. This approach of transport allows us to capture all stochastic features of carrier transport and SPAD operation. We analyze particularly the probabilistic character of the quenching mechanism and its dependence on the parameters (resistance and capacitance) of the passive quenching circuit.File in questo prodotto:
